I have a pivot on a flat quarter with heavy black dirt and wheel tracks have always been a problem. I tried boombacks around the wheels but it didn’t help because once the ruts fill up with water it doesn’t soak away. I pretty much solved the problem by putting Chief wheels on the whole machine. The ruts are shallow and it’s working good. The only problem is if and when something goes wrong such as a gearbox going out (and those wheels are hard on gearboxes) it will raise a lot of hell before the aluminum knuckles finally twist off. Does anybody have any experience with some kind of a shearbolt or slip clutch protected driveshaft? I think something like that would minimize the damage when something happened but maybe it would cause more problems than solve
