The Best Airless Pivot Tire for a TL Irrigation System
Why should you use the EWRS-PIVOT airless irrigation tire on your TL irrigation system? There are actually 5 reasons. We at Evolution Wheel wanted to design a pivot tire that will solve all the problems farmers encounter with their irrigation tires, so we did.
5 Reasons Why You Should use an EWRS-PIVOT Airless Pivot Tire
- No Flats
- Increased Traction
- Increased Floatation
- Serviceability
- Cost-Effective
No Flats
The EWRS-PIVOT airless irrigation tire is a no flat tire. Flat tires in the field are a headache. If they are not caught early enough, a flat will damage the tire beyond repair which may even cause damage to the gearbox or other components of the tower. The downtime that flat tires cause, affects irrigation efficiency and takes employees from other tasks to get the system back up and running. Using the EWRS-PIVOT irrigation tire, you will never have to replace flat tires in the field ever again.
Increased Flotation
Deep ruts are a huge problem for many irrigation farmers. Irrigation tires often have very poor floatation. the issue is that most have a convex profile with a directional tread pattern that pushes mud out from under the tire and it travels.
The EWRS-PIVOT has a bi-directional tread pattern with a concave profile that is designed to hold mud underneath the tire preventing deep ruts in the field.
Increased Traction
The second biggest issue with irrigation tires is poor traction. Airless tires often have issues with traction due to their inflexibility. A tire needs to be able to wrap around objects to increase its surface area or it will slip. The EWRS-PIVOT tire incorporates core geometry that allows the rubber to flex similar to a pneumatic tire without the use of compressed air or the ability to go flat.
Serviceability
Serviceability in a tire is highly important. The EWRS-PIVOT is made with rubber segments that bolt onto the steel rim. If a segment is damaged, all you need to do is replace that specific segment which can be done with a 3/4" inch wrench.
The rubber has UV protection elements built into the rubber and will last 2-3 times longer than a pneumatic tire. So even though the tire is serviceable the tire is built to last.
Cost-Effective
When you sum up the added expenses of flat tires, gearbox damage, labor, and downtime costs, pneumatic tires get expensive. When using the EWRS-PIVOT airless irrigation tire, you don’t have to worry about all the extra maintenance and costs associated with it. Providing you with a cost-effective tire solution for your TL irrigation system.
The EWRS-PIVOT Airless Pivot Irrigation Tire
The EWRS-PIVOT airless pivot irrigation tire solves all these issues. It is engineered specifically to mimic a pneumatic irrigation tires compression, a wide true-to-spec 14.9” x 24” profile to increase traction and a concave profile that increases floatation while preventing rutting.
The EWRS-PIVOT has a unique core hole geometry that compresses completely when pressure is applied. This allows the tire to compress like a pneumatic mimicking its traction as well as being self-cleaning, so you don’t have to worry about added weight to the system.
The EWRS-PIVOT’s high-quality rubber has UV protection, and the rims are made with high-strength steel that will last a lifetime. It is also a segmented tire. Each segment is attached to the rim with ¾” nuts. This allows you to service the tire and easily replace a segment when it’s damaged. The rubber on our tires will last 2-3 times the life span of your traditional pneumatic irrigation tire, without the risk of going flat.
The EWRS-PIVOT airless pivot irrigation tire is engineered to solve the problems that farmers face when it comes to pivot irrigation while not creating new ones. The unique design is a cost-effective problem-solving solution allowing you to trust your irrigation tires not to fail on you.
EWRS-PIVOT SERIES
The EWRS-PIVOT series of airless pivot tires from Evolution Wheel offers the most advanced airless technology to the irrigation market. This solution delivers serviceability, traction, and floatation into one impressive offering.
Our tread design and tire profile offer greater traction through mud and obstacles. The unique concave contact face helps eliminate rutting by keeping dirt under the tire, where it belongs. The face of the tire is pointed inwards. Compared to typical pneumatic irrigation tires which convex shape push mud out from under the tire, causing ruts.
Our proprietary segmented design bolts onto our high strength wheel, allowing you the ability to service the tire quickly, eliminating the need to change a tire in the field.
Unlike other airless pivot tires, the EWRS-PIVOT compresses flat pushing material out, it's a self-cleaning system. The compressed cores elongate the footprint of the tire allowing it to wrap over obstacles increasing traction and reducing ground pressure.
