State-of-the-art tyres that provide quality and affordability
The right tyres can unlock a farm’s productivity, but choosing wisely can be a daunting task. Farmers often confront the conundrum of finding tyres that offer value for money without compromising on quality.
Tradefaire International (TFI) has been in the tyre business for more than 20 years and offers a comprehensive range of brands that capitalise on the latest technology.
Company director James Saunders says quality tyres do not have to break the bank.
TFI is the exclusive local agent of multi-national manufacturer BKT Tyres, which James says “is comparable to Tier 1 brands, yet more competitive in price”.
“BKT has a range of bias-ply and radial tyres to suit your work, from tough conditions to the high load, low pressure requirements of modern farming,” he says.
BKT Tyres are soft on your field, which reduces soil compaction and fuels crop growth and yield.
They have excellent traction, which is essential for navigating difficult terrain, and a low rolling resistance, which improves fuel efficiency and reduces operating costs.
The company is sowing seeds of innovation, introducing new materials, technology, and specialised tyres to meet the diverse needs of Australian farmers.
In its state-of-the-art R&D facility in Bhuj, India, simulation software and data analysis are used to predict and optimise the performance of tyres in different conditions. The use of advanced compounds and materials in tyre construction, such as steel belts, increases durability and strength.
A world-leading manufacturer of Off-Highway tyres, the company has also incorporated very high-flexion technology, which allows tyres to carry heavier loads at lower inflation pressures, reducing soil compaction and increasing productivity.
With origins in 1992, TFI is renowned for its technical expertise and advice that stands the test of time. The company grew from humble beginnings selling solid forklift tyres to the Beaurepaires chain, and is now a leading supplier in the agricultural, forestry, mining, construction, and material handling sectors.
James says TFI is underpinned by honesty and integrity, so “we won’t offer something just for the sake of a sale”.
“We like to understand your need and offer a product that will ensure your satisfaction. Our goal is to maximise your potential, whether you have one or 10,000 acres,” he says.
TFI’s sophisticated national distribution network means that no matter where you are, you can rely on their expert assistance.
“We can match you with the ideal tyre type and tread pattern for your application, and provide after-sales support and services to keep you on the road with minimum downtime,” James says.
By supplying products that push the boundaries of what is possible, TFI is helping farmers across Australia reach their full potential.

Trace minerals are required for optimal growth, reproduction, and immunity. Optimising trace mineral status relying solely on oral supplements across a herd may fail because of variation in individual intake and reduced absorption due to antagonism of other ration components and minerals. The use of injectable trace mineral supplements has been associated with positive reproductive outcomes including improved conception rate, increased odds of pregnancy and greater final in calf rate. A study conducted on 2,168 dairy cows, administered injectable trace minerals, four weeks prior to calving and again four weeks prior to the start of mating showed treated animals had a 3.3 per cent greater final in-calf rate, and a reduced time from start of mating to conception, compared to control animals 1 . The Importance of B12 Dr Carl Eden, Technical Services Veterinarian with Boehringer Ingelheim says “Vitamin B12 is sometimes referred to as a ‘super vitamin’ because it is only required in very small amounts but vital to many essential metabolic pathways. However, demand for B12 can vary considerably during the year and we see serum levels of B12 fall at critical times, such as the first few months after calving.” Vitamin B12 contains cobalt, so deficiency in cobalt can lead to deficiency in vitamin B12 because ruminants get most of their B12 as a byproduct of ruminal fermentation where the bacteria in their rumen assemble B12 from cobalt for use by the cow. Sub-optimal trace mineral and vitamin B12 status at calving, mating, and drying off has been shown to negatively impact growth, reproduction, and immunity. Using a trace mineral injectable containing vitamin B12 can improve trace mineral and vitamin B12 status at these critical times. Marks-Min with Vitamin B12 – The Evidence In the largest trace element study to date, Marks-Min Injectable Trace Mineral with Vitamin B12 demonstrated remarkable results when compared to a reference trace mineral injection. “Given the differences between Marks-Min and other products on the market, we wanted to generate a compelling data set to demonstrate how effective it was compared to the pioneer product. We entrusted this work to a third-party research company” says Dr Eden. “We chose farms that were at the top of their game from a reproductive perspective. We made sure that the farms had no evidence of trace element or vitamin B12 deficiencies or excess.” Across all outcomes of interest, Marks-Min demonstrated clear non-inferiority when compared to the reference product. Outcomes measured included submission, pregnancy and conception rates, and six week in-calf rate. Marks-Min demonstrated it is highly suited as an alternative treatment to the reference product.
