Nothing slows down planting quite like mud buildup in your gauge wheels. If you’ve ever had to stop mid-field to dig out packed mud, you know the frustration—and the lost time. Traditional gauge wheels struggle in wet, sticky conditions, leading to constant clogging, increased downtime, and uneven seed placement.
But there’s a solution.
MudSmith Gauge Wheels are designed to eliminate mud plugging, keeping your planter moving, no matter the conditions.
Why Traditional Gauge Wheels Plug Up
Most standard gauge wheels have a closed design, creating the perfect environment for mud to get trapped and packed in. When this happens, the wheel stops turning freely, leading to:
- Uneven seed depth – Stuck wheels drag through the soil instead of rolling, affecting seed placement.
- Increased wear – Mud buildup puts strain on bearings and rubber, shortening the lifespan of your wheels.
- Unnecessary downtime – More time spent cleaning mud out means less time planting.
If you’re planting in high-moisture, or clay-heavy soils, the problem is even worse. That’s where MudSmith Gauge Wheels make all the difference.
How MudSmith’s Open-Spoke Design Solves the Problem
Unlike traditional solid wheels, MudSmith Gauge Wheels feature an open-spoke design, allowing mud to escape naturally. This innovation keeps wheels clean and free-spinning in tough conditions. Here’s how it works:
✔ Self-Cleaning Design – Mud and debris naturally fall away, preventing buildup.
✔ Uninterrupted Rolling Action – No more stuck wheels dragging through the soil.
✔ Better Seed Depth Control – Ensures consistent seed placement for even emergence.
✔ Reduced Maintenance – Less time scraping mud out means more time in the field.
