Hey i am sorry that i could not watch this video soon because when you upload that day was my engagement so i didn't watch now i get free and watch this video anyhow i like your shop that is really awesome
Great video. Very informative on new technology for pivot tires . Try putting a round nose shovel underneath tire it will keep it from rolling and works great for lifting tire in place . Just saying. Thanks for sharing the video. 👍👍👍👍
About 5 years ago I was visiting my local bicycle workshop and they were setting up some rims for then-new-to-the-market semi-full bicycle tyres, which had a bit more rim depth and used a 2 piece rim to get around the stiffness of the tyre when fitting to the rim. The idea being that the semi-full tyres would be effectively maintenance-less & the gaps in the tyres would soften the ride. The bicycle was a bit twitchy with the non-pneumatic tyres on it, but was absolutely adequate for short hops around town. For pivots the tyres might be a bit stiffer, so whilst reducing tyre maintenance, the stresses may be increased on other parts of the system.
Ours are not semi-fill, and that is the difference. Our technological feature is in the design which changes the shape of the pneumatic tire, which also allows us to make it airless. th-cam.com/video/embU-7fdyVI/w-d-xo.html
@@mike1hani I think I get it...yours are semi-pneumatic, seemingly increasing the footprint of the contact point to aid traction. The bicycle tyres here seemed to provide fleet operators (because businesses & educational providers increasingly provide bikes to commuters in town) with reduced cost of operation (less maintenance) and increased durability of tyres that are otherwise prone to losing air.
How has the rutting been since installing the irricup wheels? I have two pivots that need tires replaced due to tire rot. I'm looking at going with the irricup or evolution wheel.
Looks to be a great fit for your operation, I guess like a lot of things it comes down to cost per wheel to go airless (including repair time for air tires). I'm clearly not a farmer, but I have a couple of questions. Is there a product that can block UV or whatever is in the sunshine to prevent that wheel rot we saw on the tires you brought in to the shed? The other question relates to the drive shafts on those pivots in this video, they appeared to be twisted (like something I'd see in a fancy ornamental iron gate) is that by design, or were they twisted by torque from the drive motors, if so is that normal, if it's torque, do they ever sheer off?
As far as I know, there’s not anything that you can put on to prevent the tire rot. And the twist in the shaft happens when one gearbox or tire goes flat so the other tire has to do all the work and it twists it until the pivot eventually stops. So no that it’s not by design. That’s what happens when it breaks.
Hey guys I got an idea, supposedly you can get water out of the air there is some type of contraption I forgot what it was I was looking it up, where this system is able to take air into its system and create a water source right from the air. You guys should look into that and maybe you already know about it I don't know but I'm just trying to be of help.
I guess you could start by going to work for a company that does Center pivots. But if you have no land and no money, then there’s no way you could do it.
Our 11.2-38 are reversible this way. But our 14.9-24's are different, and need the reversible center disc. But it's just 6 bolts and no hard. They come ready to fit on Valley but by flipping the center disc they fit on Zimmatic, Reinke and TL
Who knew there was something new under the sun in irrigation!
Yeah these could be a game changer

I made sure to subscribe to you fellas. We all stand with y’all!
Thanks for the support and thanks for watching
Those tires look like they should work out really well.
Time will tell.
So far so good
That is why u should get skid tire claw we have had one to for a few yrs now
That would be nice

Welcome. I imagine this type of farming is a little different.
Same thing works with a long pry bar under the tire
That would probably work

They seem to squish about as much as an air tire. I’m not sure on the long-term maintenance but I know they’ve been running them quite a while.

We are currently harvesting the field with those tires and there are almost no ruts on those towers.
I’ve never been around any of them but I can see it’d be beneficial having them new tires. But I’m sure the price is prohibitive too
They definitely are nice
Have you tried the shark wheel yet quite a few guys around here started using them and we put some on the end tower of a pivot and like them so far
No, we haven’t tried those. We have seen a few people around use those, but they break lugs off all the time.
Yeah that would definitely be a plus with the irricup and it looks like they do an awesome job too
@@RockyMountainFarmerwe don't have an issue with broken lugs at all. 5 year warranty as well
You guys should try dammer diking the really hilly grain it helps lots with the running water
I’m not sure how you would plant that

Darn! The competition beat me to it. Airless is the way to go for pivots if you can make the investment. We use OTR Engineered Solutions.
I wish all of our tires were airless we have replaced at least a dozen tires this year.
@@RockyMountainFarmer have you inquired about the price for the assemblies before posting that? LOL
Have you seen the evolution wheels and shark wheels?
I’ve seen the shark wheels, but I’ve heard they ripped lugs off all the time
@@RockyMountainFarmer our neighbor has them. We rarely talk to them them though. Next time we talk to them we are gonna ask
@RockyMountainFarmer we have over 7,000 wheels (210,000 paddles/lugs) in the US rolling and have less than 100 paddles break. No issue there
@@TheSharkwheel Our neighbor has a single drive tower with them on we dont talk to him much but would like to here his thoughts on them
Those are called Aperture Tires

That’s interesting.
What did your Grandpa say about airless tires
He said they looked pretty cool
How do somebody get into the center pivot business who doesn't own land and doesn't have any money
I guess you could start by going to work for a company that does Center pivots. But if you have no land and no money, then there’s no way you could do it.
If there not Directional why couldn’t you just spin the Tire around?
Because the placement of the hub before we flipped, it was exactly in the middle, so we had to flip it in order to have an offset
Our 11.2-38 are reversible this way. But our 14.9-24's are different, and need the reversible center disc. But it's just 6 bolts and no hard. They come ready to fit on Valley but by flipping the center disc they fit on Zimmatic, Reinke and TL
I called the governors office. They are saying that they have come to an agreement with farmers. I hope they are telling the truth.
Well, that’s a partial truth. They basically pushed it back till October and then the same thing will happen again.
