Core Design
Traction is one of the biggest issues farmers have with pivot tires. We designed the EWRS-PIVOT irrigation tire with this in mind. One of the main components for traction is tire compression. Simply, more compression means more traction.
Being an airless tire, the EWRS-PIVOT uses holes through the rubber called cores. On the EWRS-PIVOT, there are two cylindrical holes connected by a gap in the middle that is designed to compress completely. This compression does two things, increases traction and is self-cleaning.
Bi-Directional Tread
the tread on your tires is extremely important for traction. Using pivot tires with directional tread causes rutting and can hold onto mud adding weight to the tire bogging down the system.
The EWRS-PIVOT irrigation tire is designed with aggressive bi-directional tread meaning that instead of pushing material out to the side, it keeps it under the wheel while maximizing traction.
Concave Profile
Different from most tires, the EWRS-PIVOT irrigation tire has a concave profile. The edges of the tire are higher than the middle. This unique shape maximizes floatation by holding dirt underneath the tire instead of pushing it out as a normal convex profile would.
Along with the concave profile, the EWRS-PIVOT is a full spec tire, staying true to the 14.9” x 24” design. Having such a wide width increases the service area helping with floatation along with the concave profile. both these combined maximize floatation.
