Delmade helps when you are stuck in a rut

ONE of the negatives of an irrigator consistently passing over the same ground, season after season is compaction and as the compaction grows worse, wheel ruts.

The good news is that wheel ruts can be fixed before they become a major damage concern.

The Delmade Rut Filler and  Eradicator are the ideal tools for the job. These units offer an answer for everything from the large multi-property farm to share farms or smaller operations right down to those with a single pivot.

The Delmade Rut Eradicator is an economical option that involves filling wheel ruts without the use of an imported filler product like gravel or sand. This tough little unit is built with two gangs on a sturdy mainframe and uses the same gang setup with oil bath bearings as Delmade Offset Discs.

Ideal for those who wish to save on a filler material the simple robust unit works at a speed of around 7kph. The unit is Australian made, weighs in at 500kg and is finished with a quality powder coat.

A multi-purpose machine that can be used all year round the Delmade Eradicator is ideal for working large or small properties. Keeping ruts maintained to ensure they don’t deepen and run to mud in the wet season.

The Delmade Rut Filler is specifically designed for the larger operator with multiple pivots. The large 7m³ meter hopper allows many ruts to be filled without returning to the base for more product. The unit also boasts a handy site tube to allow the operator to easily visualise gravel levels in the machine.

The Delmade Rut Filler is built strong. At the base of the bin is the hydraulic sliding chute. The centre of the filling operation. The chute is controlled from the tractor remotes and one of its key features is the lack of material resistance. This means a large range of fillers can be used from gravel, sand, lime etc without bridging issues.

The unit is standard with flotation tyres, a site tube, a heavy-duty jack stand which can be spec’d up to hydraulic and an adjustable drawbar for easy height adjustment.
