Michelin Tweel Technologies, a division of Michelin, will be showcasing new mower products during the Green Industry Expo show in Louisville, Ky.

During the show, Michelin will introduce its new 26-inch zero-turn radius (ZTR) mower size for four-bolt wheel-pattern hubs and a new 18-inch stand-on mower size for a 2018 John Deere model.

In addition, Michelin has entered into a new partnership with Sunbelt Outdoor Products for MICHELIN X TWEEL TURF replacement tires and added Ag–Pro as a distributor for X TWEEL TURF products.

“Michelin continues to demonstrate the forward momentum of this award-winning airless tire through the growth of the product portfolio and distribution network,” said Olivier Brauen, head of Michelin Tweel Technologies. “With uptime so crucial for our customers, the MICHELIN X TWEEL airless radial tire provides an unparalleled solution. Building relationships in the market is our goal.”

In an exciting collaboration with Sunbelt Outdoor Products, the distributor will become a partner with Michelin to sell Michelin X TWEEL TURF mower and golf cart products. With seven distribution centers across the United States, Sunbelt Outdoor Products is a wholesale lawn and garden parts distributor, dedicated to servicing outdoor power equipment resellers.

Retail customers will now be able to purchase Michelin X TWEEL TURF products through Ag-Pro Companies. Ag-Pro is one of the largest John Deere dealers in the United States. Headquartered in Boston, Ga., near Thomasville, Ag-Pro operates a total of 50 locations across Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina and Texas — offering sales, parts, and service — with 960 employees.

Participants at Green Industry & Equipment Expo in Louisville can see MICHELIN TWEEL turf care and compact line products in the Michelin booth #2036.
