You fix the problem where the rubber meets the dirt. In this case, a grower in southeast Wisconsin went to Mid-State Equipment, with his spreader and sprayer. Both were John Deere R4038 sprayers that came with standard row crop 380/90R46 tires. Unfortunately, both machines were experiencing compaction and flotation issues. This one was an easy fix — and gave us twice as much satisfaction. AXON replaced the OEM tires and wheels with Alliance 650/65R38s, which immediately right-sized his tread footprint to solve problematic compaction problems. Our service and support made for one happy customer, and made seasonal seeding and spraying a breeze.
