Skid Steer Tires for Dairy Farms

Skid Steers are common machines in dairy operations. Skid steers are ideally suited for these applications because of their ability to pivot on the spot. Due to their fixed wheel orientation and separate side-wheel synchronization, the machine can 'skid' as it turns. These machines often operate on hard surfaces like concrete which can eat through tires, especially when they pivot on the spot.  

In addition to wearing down tires, skidding can cause the machine to bounce when carrying loads, which can be dangerous. This problem ultimately comes down to the tires. If a tire is not designed to skid smoothly, it won’t. The EWRS-HS is engineered specifically to skid smoothly on hard surfaces to minimize wear on the machine and driver fatigue. The tread is also designed to preserve traction while maximizing wear life, so operators don't have to constantly replace damaged tires.  

A PERFECT ROLLING CIRCLE

The EWRS-HS is also a perfectly round rolling circle. This creates an extremely smooth ride for the operator limiting driver fatigue. The core geometry of the tire allows the tire to compress similarly to a pneumatic, while the void space in the tread provides superior traction. 

We designed the unique tread pattern this way with all hard surfaces in mind. Using the wrong tires in these types of applications will deteriorate the rubber and cause them to go flat very quickly. 

EWRS-HS SERIES

The EWRS-HS product series of hard surface skid steer tires were designed to meet the needs of severe duty customers working on hard surfaces and burning through tires daily.

By creating a unique tread design that increases the surface area in contact with the ground, our EWRS-HS product series provides unmatched wear life on concrete and asphalt surfaces. Customers can expect a 30-40% increase in wear life over our ERWS-AT series product line, further reducing cost/hr and increasing their machine ROI.

The tread pattern is one thing, but tread depth is another. To make the new EWRS-HS product series meet the Evolution Wheel standard we gave it the most tread depth of any hard surface tire on the market. By maintaining a 52/32nd tread depth, Evolution Wheel is raising the bar in hard surface applications.

With serviceable tire sections, the need for a service truck, specialized technicians, and press-on machines is all but eliminated. We have reduced your service tooling down to only a 3/4" wrench in your operator's back pocket and repair parts are readily available at your nearest onsite storage container or in the toolbox of your pickup.
