Takes the view that the principles underpinning PF can generate significant benefits for the environment, increase farmers’ incomes, rationalise the use of agricultural machinery and significantly increase resource efficiency, including use of water for irrigation; therefore encourages the Commission to promote policies to stimulate the development and uptake of precision farming technologies for all farm types, irrespective of their size and production, whether crop and/or animal farming.

In case tyres classified in category of use 'Implement, installed on T-, R- and S-category' vehicles, identified by speed symbols A6 or A8 with a nominal rim diameter code lower than 24, operating in 'cyclic high load variation' (i.e. when one way the vehicle is empty and on the other way the technically permissible maximum laden mass of the vehicle exceeds two times the unladen mass in running order) the variation in load capacity with speed identified in point 2.2.4.2.1. may be increased by up to 20 % for Free Rolling wheels or by up to 43 % in case of Drive wheels.

In case of tyres classified in category of use 'Implement', marked with speed symbols A6 or A8, fitted to free rolling steering wheels of T–category vehicles, the load capacity identified as ‘Free Rolling’, taking into account the maximum design speed of the vehicle as well as the variation of load capacity with speed according to definition 2.30 of UNECE Regulation No 106 shall be multiplied by up 0,80.

4. Agricultural machines (such as agricultural tractors, their trailers and all other vehicles designed specifically for agricultural work).

While many applications have been submitted for food industrial improvements, there has been only a small interest concerning the measure "Purchase of (agricultural) machines". The reason of this might be the strict conditions or the support for agricultural machines performed in 2002.

2.3. In the case of a vehicle which is fitted with tyres which are not motorcycle tyres, passenger car tyres or commercial vehicle tyres, due to special conditions of use (e.g. agricultural tyres, industrial truck tyres, all terrain vehicle tyres), the requirements of Annex II do not apply, provided that the approval authority is satisfied that the tyres fitted are suitable for the operating conditions of the vehicle.
