America's Gauge Wheel
What
We
Do
The MudSmith gauge wheel was created on the Smith family farm in northeastern South Dakota to improve planting efficiency during wet soil conditions. The Smiths began no-tilling in the early 1990s, and the combination of no-till and living in the prairie pothole region caused wheel plugging that led to delays, repairs, and stress.
After trying different designs they progressed to the 3” spoke wheel. This MudSmith gauge wheel has proven to be the most plug-free design available in addition to offering outstanding durability.
MudSmith gauge wheels are available for any planter, from conventional 4.5” wheels to 3” wheels for a smoother ride with less row-unit bounce, and 2.5” wheels designed to fit today’s twin-row planters.
Customer Feedback

We were on the field days ahead of everybody in our area. The reason being, we had your gauge wheels on our air drill.

We were thinking of trading our air drill because we had so many problems with gauge wheels getting plugged up. We were spending as much time cleaning wheels as seeding. So we gave it one more try and changed them over to your gauge wheels. We didn’t have problems again! Thanks.
