The app is compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch devices
Michelinâs free agricultural tyre pressure calculator app is now available for iOS devices, giving even more farmers and contractors access to on-the-spot bespoke tyre pressure advice.
Compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch devices, the Michelin Pressure Calculator app instantly works out the most appropriate tyre pressure settings for desired load and speed on any farm tractor in just three easy steps.
Firstly, the user must enter the tractorâs front and rear axle load and tool weight, and then select the size of Michelin tyres fitted to both the tractorâs axles from a simple drop-down menu.
Finally, a quick snap with the deviceâs integrated camera allows the app to calculate the precise load distribution and the length of the overhang, measured from the wheels, to define the tractorâs optimum pressure recommendations.
The tyre pressure results calculated and pictures taken for each tractor can be saved in the appâs âMy Tractorâ menu, and shared by email â ideal for sending pressure calculation results back to the office from the field.
Mike Lawton, Commercial Director of Michelinâs Agricultural Division in the UK and Ireland, says: âThe free pressure calculation app has been well received on Android devices, and weâre delighted to extend that same capability to iOS users.
âFarmers today can enjoy a wealth of technological assistance with their work, and our development team saw a chance to make sure any tractor fitted with Michelin tyres is running at the optimum tyre pressures. Getting your pressures spot on can help reduce soil compaction and leave shallower ruts â and the fact that such a capability can sit next to a farmerâs keys in his pocket is remarkable.â
The free Michelin Pressure Calculator app is available for devices with iOS 7.0 or later and Android devices in four languages: English, French, German and Spanish.
