Two farmers from North Dakota utilized their engineering backgrounds to develop a product to eliminate mud-plugged planter and air seeder wheels in wet conditions and to prevent tire wear in abrasive soils.
Mud Rx is a plastic product that fits snugly between a gauge wheel and disc. This keeps the disc clean and prevents mud buildup and wheel plugging in damp or muddy conditions. In dry, abrasive soil conditions, the product is designed to keep small particles, rocks and debris from wearing down the tire edges close to the disc. The developers estimate Mud Rx extends tire life by three to five times.
Mud Rx fits nearly all planters with gauge wheels and most aftermarket wheels and tires.
