In modern agriculture, efficiency, soil protection and cost-effectiveness are key success factors. One technology that delivers on multiple levels is tyre pressure control systems – intelligent solutions for dynamically adjusting tyre pressure on tractors, trailers and towed implements. With TerraCare solutions, offered and supported by Paul Forrer AG, you can take your vehicle performance to the next level – without manual adjustments and without interrupting operations.
What is a tyre pressure control system?
It is a system that automatically adjusts tyre pressure while driving – precisely matched to road, field or special applications. Unlike traditional tyre pressure monitoring systems, this technology actively regulates pressure depending on terrain and operating conditions.
Key benefits of modern tyre pressure control technology
TerraCare tyre pressure control systems provide tangible advantages for agricultural machinery and overall operational performance:
Increased efficiency and fuel savings
Optimised tyre inflation pressure significantly reduces wheel slip, improves traction and lowers diesel consumption – with fuel savings of up to 10% in many applications. At the same time, field performance increases, enabling faster and more cost-effective operations.
Bodenschonung & Nachhaltigkeit
Durch die dynamische Druckanpassung wird die Bodenverdichtung minimiert – ein entscheidender Vorteil, um Bodenstruktur, Bodenfauna und Humusqualität langfristig zu erhalten. Dies wirkt sich unmittelbar auf Ertragspotenzial und Folgekosten aus.
Soil protection and sustainability
Dynamic pressure adjustment minimises soil compaction – a decisive factor in preserving soil structure, soil biology and humus quality over the long term. This directly supports yield potential while reducing downstream costs.
Comfort and safety
Operators benefit from improved traction under varying ground conditions and lighter steering effort. System control is conveniently managed via an in-cab operating terminal or, optionally, via ISOBUS – ensuring intuitive, rapid and reliable operation.
Vielseitiger Nutzungsbereich
TerraCare Systeme gibt es sowohl für Traktoren (ein- und zweiachsig) als auch für Anhänger (einachsig, tandem oder tridem). Sie lassen sich dabei nicht nur als Erstausrüstung integrieren, sondern auch problemlos auf bestehende Fahrzeuge nachrüsten oder auf mehrere Maschinen im Fuhrpark ausweiten.
Versatile application range
TerraCare systems are available for tractors (single- and twin-axle configurations) as well as trailers (single-axle, tandem or tridem). They can be integrated as original equipment or retrofitted to existing vehicles and extended across multiple machines within a fleet.

Technical features and operating principle
TerraCare tyre pressure control technology features a modular design and is engineered with durable, low-maintenance components:
Central control unit
The system continuously detects the current tyre pressure and automatically adjusts it during operation – without interrupting the working process.
Operating terminals and ISOBUS integration
Control via a dedicated display or directly through the ISOBUS terminal enhances user convenience and enables the storage of predefined pressure profiles for different operating scenarios.
Optional supplementary modules
Additional components – such as high-speed inflation options, low-profile rotary unions for narrow track widths or auxiliary compressors – further increase system functionality and operational flexibility.
Advanced development – TerraCare i-control
With the i-control system, valve technology is mounted directly on the wheel rim and operates in conjunction with wireless pressure sensors for continuous pressure monitoring and particularly rapid inflation.
