Tyre inflation systems for adjustment on the move: air ducts via mudguards or better through the axle?
Many, who see the photos of tractors with the AIRBOX/drive for the first time, express fears that the air ducts tear off easily. Furthermore, they would impair the look of the tractor. The latter is surely a matter of personal taste. We cannot confirm in our now 15 years experience that the air ducts tear off often. Our spare parts business disproves this clearly. It is probably similar to wing mirrors: Once the driver has taken in that the air ducts are the widest part of the vehicle, he will automatically drive according to the width of the passage. And the ducts are removable, for e.g. a drive through the wood or when the system is not needed. So it is last but not least a personal decision, which system the client prefers. The CTIS with rotary unions on the inside of the wheel and with air and control lines through the axle cost 50% more compared to the AIRBOX/drive dual line technique, primarily because the rotary unions are more expensive. return to overview Advantages of dual li
