Built On An American Farm Copied Everywhere Else

Before MudSmith became America’s gauge wheel, it was first a problem on the Smith family farm.

In the early ’90s, the Smith family went no-till in northeastern South Dakota. Wet ground and heavy residue kept packing their gauge wheels with mud.

So they opened the rims, reinforced the spokes, and built the wheel they wished they had. That farm-built solution became MudSmith.

100,000+ wheels later, MudSmith is still built in Hazel, South Dakota.

Built To Fit The Way Your Planter Runs

MudSmith comes in 2.5", 3" and 4.5" configurations, with fitments across planter setups.

  • 2.5 inch MudSmith spoked gauge wheel

    2.5"Built For Twin-Row Planters

    Narrow where twin-row setups need it.

  • Recommended With A Residue Manager 3 inch MudSmith spoked gauge wheel

    3"Get Inside The Residue. Cut The Bounce.

    A narrower footprint helps the gauge wheel stay inside residue ridges instead of riding over them. Our recommended choice when running a residue manager.

  • 4.5 inch MudSmith spoked gauge wheel

    4.5"Keep The Flotation.

    The better fit for box planters and spring down-pressure systems where the wider wheel helps carry the row unit and reduce the risk of planting too deep.
