Features

• Down to Earth Breakthrough
  Simply setting the correct inflation pressure in radial tires according to recent expanded guidelines issued by tire manufacturers is optimizing tractor performance in many ways. Benefits include increased traction, reduced fuel consumption, higher productivity, reduced soil compaction, reduced tire road wear, and control of power hop.
• Multimedia: Its Dramatic Effects Unfold Via Internet
  By using multimedia presentation systems and the Internet, larger volumes of information can be conveyed to others with increased efficiency - including agricultural and biological engineering topics. Information providers ranging from governmental agencies and educational institutions to nonprofit organizations and private businesses are supplying multimedia modules containing such things as regulatory and educational information, electronic journals, home shopping services, and employment listings.
