CEAT Kelani Holdings has expanded its agricultural tyre portfolio with three new cross-ply tractor tyres engineered specifically to meet the demanding conditions of local farming, particularly the challenging puddling phase of the Maha cultivation season.
The new additions comprise two AAYUSHMAAN tyres in sizes 16.9-28 and 14.9-28 for rear wheels and an 8-18 PUDDLE XL for front wheels, extending CEAT’s agricultural tyre range in Sri Lanka to nine sizes and strengthening its ability to meet the requirements of farmers using a wide range of tractors.
Compatible with popular tractor brands including Sonalika, TAFE, John Deere and Mahindra, the new CEAT agricultural tyres are designed to serve a broad range of tractor and farming requirements.
They have been developed with the realities of agricultural operations in Sri Lanka in mind and are designed to deliver enhanced traction and smoother performance in muddy and wet-soil conditions, the company said.
Their improved lug tread patterns facilitate more effective self-cleaning of mud and soil, helping the tyres maintain consistent grip while making puddling operations more efficient.
The 16.9-28 and 14.9-28 AAYUSHMAAN rear tyres feature extra-deep tread and deep lugs designed to provide superior grip in muddy soil while reducing slippage and improving traction. Their strong nylon casing is designed to provide stability and guard against mechanical failures, while a robust lug design supports performance both on and off the field. The tyres are also suited to farming and haulage applications.
The 8-18 PUDDLE XL front tyre features deep lugs designed to assist extraction from muddy and wet conditions, with open and angled shoulder lugs supporting effective performance in challenging terrain. Its reinforced carcass is designed for a longer service life, while higher lug overlap contributes to improved stability during operation.
