Titan International Continues FFA Auctions, Ride 'N' Drives at North American Farm Shows

Titan FFA Ride N Drive farm show — Titan’s Ride ‘N” Drive event at a local farm show.

Titan International, Inc. will again host its annual tire auctions and Ride ‘N’ Drive field demonstrations at upcoming North American farm shows.

For more than 20 years, Titan’s annual tire auctions have benefited thousands of Future Farmers of America (FFA) students across the U.S. The auctions allow show attendees to purchase Titan and Goodyear Farm Tires at highly discounted prices with all proceeds going to support their regional FFA chapters. Last year, Titan raised $121,580 for FFA chapters.

“Organizations like FFA are shaping the next generation of leaders in agriculture,” says Scott Sloan, agricultural product manager at Titan International. “Students dedicate a lot of time and effort into enhancing their personal growth, professional development and leadership skills. Titan is proud to give back to an organization that champions such efforts.”

The Ride ‘N’ Drive experience allows show attendees to test-drive machines equipped with the latest tire technologies from Titan and Goodyear Farm Tire. The field demonstrations will feature various 4WD and MFWD equipment with the world’s largest farm tires, the Goodyear OPTITRAC LSW1400/30R46 and additional super single tire setups.

Hercules Tire and Rubber Company (HTR), a subsidiary of American Tire Distributors (ATD), recently introduced the Ag-Trac F-2, a robust tire designed for multiple farm surfaces, HTR said. This tire is offered in two 16-in. sizes for 2WD front tractor wheel positions.

According to HTR, the Ag-Trac F-2 is built to withstand the demands of farm work, with a durable construction that ensures long-lasting performance. Its design allows for traction and grip on a variety of surfaces, making it ideal for use in fields, pastures and other agricultural environments. In addition to its durability, the company said its Ag-Trac F-2 also offers precise control and maneuverability, which it said is essential for navigating tight spaces and making sharp turns in the field.
