Lynx Engineerings range of Lynxpaka packers for use with power harrows and power harrow drill combinations now employ a new type of tyre. The new Otico packer tyre incorporates three steel braids moulded into the carcass which run around the tyre shoulder and central tread. This is claimed to result in a stronger build which prevents individual tyres losing shape as they soften at the higher temperatures generated by faster operation. Price of packers employing the new tyres remains the same as last year – £2190 for a 3m version and £2610 for the 4m.
