Michelin North America previewed the Michelin X Tweel Turf Caster during the 2016 Green Industry and Equipment Expo today.
Designed for use on zero-turn commercial mowers, the X Tweel Turf Caster is designed to eliminate downtime. The tire is constructed with high-strength poly-resin spokes that carry the load and create suspension-like characteristics for the front of the mower, Michelin said. This structure absorbs impact and reduces bounce and offers a long tread life.
“The X Tweel Turf has been a tremendous success, offering customers unique benefits exclusively available with this innovative technology,” said Jack Olney, director of sales for Michelin Tweel Technologies. “Extending the line with the new caster product is a direct response to customer demands for Tweel performance in front and rear positions on the zero-turn mower.”
The X Tweel Turf Caster comes in size 13X6.5X6 and is expected to be commercially available in early 2017. For more information, visit www.michelintweel.com.
