Tweel Technology: Airless Radial Tires on Deere Ztrak Mowers
John Deere and Michelin Tweel Technologies rolled out the new Michelin X Tweel Turf for commercial ZTrak mowers during GIE+EXPO 2014. The new airless radial tire is sold exclusively for John Deere ZTrak 900 Series models with 54-, 60- and 72-inch deck sizes. The Tweel Turf virtually eliminates tire downtime and is nearly maintenance free.
Landscape professionals can experience greater performance, increased uptime and a lower cost of ownership with the Tweel Turf. It offers uniform cut quality, enhanced operator comfort, and increased productivity, while helping minimizethe cost and time spent on repairs and maintenance. The new tire has the same dimensions and bolt pattern as a standard 24x12x12 tire, and features automotive rubber technology, allowing the tread to last up to three times longer than standard turf tires.
“The Tweel Turf is the no maintenance, no downtime, no compromise solution – bolt it on and forget it,” said Jack Olney, commercial director for Michelin Tweel Technologies. “The Tweelairless radial innovation coupled with John Deere’s tradition of providing superior quality mowers sets a new standard for the landscape industry.”
