No Need for A Pivot Track Filler With The EWRS-PIVOT Irrigation Tire

A pivot track filler is a piece of equipment made to fill tracks, or ruts, with material like small rocks and gravel. They are pulled behind a tractor and are designed will a small opening at the bottom to allow the right amount of material to be dropped in the ruts. However, there are a few things to consider with these.

What Material Should You Use?

The material you use matters. Gravel, sand, or soil are what most farmers use but it depends on what you are willing to put into your field. Are you ok with gravel and rocks being in your field? How much material do you need? How much are you willing to spend on that material?

Typically, the amount of material you need to fill ruts is about 3 tons per acre. This depends on the weight of the material, and the depth of the ruts, but it is a good general estimation. Next, you must figure out how much you want to spend on materials. Sand and gravel are on the cheaper side while soil is more expensive.

It can get incredibly expensive if you must purchase the equipment initially, get the material, and when you calculate the labor cost as well as the time you must put into filling the tracks, it becomes a huge investment. The best way to avoid all of this is actually to prevent ruts in the first place, using the EWRS-PIVOT series pivot tire.

The EWRS-PIVOT Tire

The EWRS-PIVOT airless irrigation tire is designed with a concave true-to-spec 14.9” x 24” profile that increases surface area and holds mud underneath the tire to maximize floatation. The rubber is designed with core holes that compress to mimic the flexibility of a pneumatic tire and the aggressive bi-directional tread pattern maximizes traction.

Due to the EWRS-PIVOT being an airless tire, there is no chance of a tire going flat in the field. On top of this, the tire is segmented. Each segment is bolted to the rim allowing the owner to service the tire if needed by simply switching the damaged segment with a new one only using a ¾” wrench.

Evolution Wheel’s EWRS-PIVOT series minimizes the time spent in the field dealing with these issues. Creating a tire that is low maintenance and prevents tracks from forming saves you the time, energy, and money spent dealing with pivot tracks and pivot fillers.
