12.28 Tractor Tires: Eco-Friendly Farming Guide
The Environmental Impact of Tractor Tires: A Hidden Cost Tractor tires, while essential for farming, significantly impact soil health and fuel efficiency. Traditional tires, due to their design and weight distribution, can lead to soil compaction. This compaction reduces water infiltration and aeration, hindering root development and nutrient uptake. The result? Reduced crop yields and compromised soil structure. Furthermore, increased soil compaction forces tractors to work harder, leading to higher fuel consumption and increased greenhouse gas emissions....
