A set of Michelin SprayBib and XeoBib tyres fitted to a Mercedes-Benz Unimog U400 sprayer are proving their worth for Ayrshire-based farmer and contractor James L Welsh & Sons.
Having clocked up more than 6,000 hours in operation, the five-year-old sets of tyres still have approximately 40 per cent of tread depth left on each set.
Commenting, Andrew Welsh, Partner at James L Welsh & Sons, said: “We work the Unimog extremely hard – particularly during the summer when it can complete more than 360 acres-worth of work each day, travelling up to 130 miles. This heavy workload, combined with a mix of steep hills and difficult soil conditions, can take a toll on tyres – but the Michelins keep on going.”
