If you experience mud-plugged gauge wheels in wet conditions or too-fast tire wear in abrasive soils on your planters and air seeders, Mud Rx, manufactured by TR Solutions, Hurdsfield, North Dakota, could be the solution. The product enables much faster planting, more acres per hour. In damp or muddy conditions, planters and air seeders invariably are plagued with mud-plugged wheels from mud finding its way between the tire and disc. The operator must stop, manually remove the wheels and clean the mud out by hand. With this easy to install, smooth UHMW plastic product on each gauge wheel, planters and air seeders keep moving and keep planting. In dry, abrasive soil conditions the Mud Rx keeps small particles, rocks and debris from wearing the tire edges down close to the disc. With Mud Rx installed, the developers estimate three to five or more times tire life. The product is available for nearly all planters made from 1973 to present and will fit most aftermarket wheels and tires—both narrow and standard width. Installation is easy and does not require removal of tires from wheels. For more information, call 701-805-1860 or visit www.MudRX.com.
