We recently completed the installation of a Central Tyre Inflation System (CTIS) on a Goldacres G6 self-propelled sprayer, further expanding its capability across both paddock and road conditions.
The system allows the operator to adjust and maintain optimal tyre pressures directly from the cab. In the field, tyre pressures can be lowered to increase the tyre footprint, improve traction and reduce slip. This helps spread the machine’s weight more effectively, minimising soil compaction and reducing rutting in softer conditions. When travelling on the road, pressures can be increased to improve stability, reduce rolling resistance and limit tyre wear.
By enabling pressure changes on the move, the operator no longer needs to stop and manually adjust tyres between jobs. This improves efficiency during tight spraying windows and reduces unnecessary downtime.
On the G6 Goldacres, the CTIS upgrade now delivers:
- Improved flotation and traction in varying soil types
- Reduced soil compaction and improved soil protection
- Lower fuel consumption through optimised rolling resistance
- Extended tyre life through correct pressure management
- Increased road safety and stability during transport
This installation ensures the sprayer is set up to perform efficiently in both field and transport applications, maximising machine productivity while protecting soil structure.
