Webinar: Tyres, Traction & Compaction

[PSQ]

I see there are BASIS points available, I dont suppose there are any points for NRoSO?

("Jesus loves a trier" ? ).

No, we aren't able to get NRoSO points for these webinars at this time.

And we're off! Its Teresa here, AHDB's Knowledge Exchange Manager for Cereals and Oilseeds in East Anglia If you would like to ask any questions on here as we go through the webinar, I will feed them in.

i thought this was going to be free of
charge
So I will give it a miss

It is free of charge - just need to log into it through the registration page to get the link. No cost to do that. Will also be on Youtube to watch later on. Still welcome to join now though, we'll be live until 8pm

Seems basis points are as easy as nectar points , got quite a few and didn't apply for them @Brisel

Would you have a computer that you could use instead? Otherwise we will post the video recording afterwards for you to be able to watch it back.

 

[ganderman]

Ok thanks I will watch it later.

Watched it so far - there seems a lot of textbook "ideal case" theory.....but on farm situation isn't quite the same as a factory/lab environment.

I also note some of the diagrams aren't totally comparable - the "pressure pad" foodprint image size got bigger as you went across. Didn't seem a fair reflection as the RH image looked significantly bigger than the LH image which made the "better tyre" look more impressive.

 

[Steevo]

Q: Based on temperature differences noted - should tyre pressures be the same summer and winter? Does the flexibility of the tyres alter greatly based on time of year also? Stephen mentions "ambient temperature" but that varies significantly through the year.

Equally, surely the weight will surely alter the tyre temperature too. It's not like we're running like a lorry - either full or empty.

Stephen's reply: They are all meant to represent 650 width, it is the shape within that which was being demonstrated
