Technology company Continental and Argentinian manufacturer and distributor BUCO signed a three-year contract for the distribution of Continental agricultural tires on July 30.

The contract pertains to a total of more than 1,500 radial and cross-ply agricultural tires. Continental says the partnership will open up new opportunities and field experience to meet agriculture manufacturers’ and farmers’ needs.

With more than 50 years’ market experience and leadership in Latin America, BUCO saw a new opportunity to expand its business with Continental’s agricultural tire range using its existing sales structure and market knowledge. Located in Buenos Aires, BUCO is a specialized manufacturer and distributor of high-quality rubber parts for agriculture machinery. This includes semi-pneumatic tires and seed tubes for agriculture applications.

Nestled in between a thick wooded forest and a beautiful 13-acre lake in Ohio’s Mahoning County is a small farm and homestead. It’s unassuming, really. The kind of place you might pass right by without noticing on your way from here to there.

A little over a century-and-a-half ago, it was the birthplace of the man who would fundamentally change American agriculture forever, but today, that small farm is home to test tracks and testing facilities designed to put tomorrow’s farm tires to the test. To push the limits of what’s possible, pioneering the latest technology that allows farm tires to go where they never have before. To stand strong in the fields and ride soft on the roads. To tread lightly over soil and roots, while translating ever-increasing horsepower to traction in the fields.
