We currently offer two pivot rut closers; the TRACK KING and the TRACK QUEEN.

Here in the Platte River Valley of Nebraska, corn is considered the King and alfalfa is Queen.  Each present their own challenges when it comes to filling the ruts left by center pivot irrigation. 







    The TRACK KING offers hydraulic depth control on the guide cone 
    allows you to control how much dirt your place in the rut without
    leaving the tractor.

    The TRACK KING also has a packer unit available.  The unique clamping
    system makes it adaptable to other equipment and applications.

The TRACK QUEEN is designed to lift the dirt without damaging the crowns.  The TRACK QUEEN is easy to run simple to adjust and durable.

 

Track Queen Testimonial

I am Paul Loy of Loy Farms in Central Nebraska. Our primary crop consists of over 400 acres Alfalfa and Alfalfa/Orchard grass mix under pivots. Our soils range from sandy to clay and after being in constant Alfalfa for several years and then with a five year drought, the pivot tracks were getting pretty deep.

I bought a Track Queen in 2005 and have been well pleased with it. We all know that the dirt from a pivot track does not leave on the level, but just gets pushed to the side. I only needed something that would move the dirt back into the track without leaving ditches on the sides to contend with and would fill the tracks quickly and easily without tearing out the alfalfa.

When I first saw the Track Queen, I knew I had found the right tool. The Track Queen is easily mounted in a matter of a couple minutes with no modifications to the tractor.

It has met every expectation with the exception of the hilly areas. On the flat, the tracks were about 4 to 8 inches deep and filled with one pass but on the inclines, the dirt was gone and the ruts were twice as deep.  I have found that a maximum of three passes will fill almost all of those problem areas and still not tear out the alfalfa or leave ditches along each side of the tracks. We have a New Holland Disk windrower and I can again travel 12 to 13 MPH and not tear up our equipment crossing filled or unfilled tracks.
