A Yorkshire farmer has praised the Michelin XMCL tyres fitted to its Claas Scorpion telehandler, after it recorded more than 7,000 hours in operation. T Grange & Son said the Scorpion is still operating on the same original equipment 460/70 R24 tyres on which it arrived at Hasling Hall Farm, Otley, in 2011. Part of Michelin’s popular Compact Line range, the XMCL offers high wear resistance thanks to a robust rubber compound.
