Description
When your planter’s gauge wheels start showing cracks, chunks missing from the edges, or uneven wear that’s affecting depth control, it’s time to swap in a fresh tire. This 4-1/2 inch by 16 inch offset gauge wheel tire keeps your MaxEmerge units running true, maintaining consistent seed placement whether you’re working in spring conditions or dealing with varying soil types across the field.
What You’re Getting
- Offset design that clears row unit components while maintaining proper depth control
- Durable rubber construction that handles rocks, stubble, and field debris without chunking
- Proper sidewall stiffness that resists deflection under load for accurate depth sensing
- Direct replacement for worn tires – mounts on your existing gauge wheel assembly
Built for Real Planting Work
This tire fits John Deere MaxEmerge, MaxEmerge 2, Plus, and Pro planter units – the workhorses that plant millions of acres of corn and soybeans every spring. Whether you’re planting no-till into heavy residue, working conventional tillage ground, or dealing with the variable conditions that come with covering hundreds of acres in a narrow window, these tires keep your row units tracking properly.
Made to Last
AgSmart builds these tires to handle the punishment that comes with planting season. The rubber compound resists ozone cracking and stays flexible through temperature swings, while the tread design sheds mud and debris that can throw off your depth control. You’ll get seasons of reliable service from a tire that’s built to OEM specifications.
Installation Notes
Swapping tires takes just a few minutes per wheel with basic shop tools. Check your gauge wheel bearings while you’ve got the wheels off – now’s a good time to repack them with fresh grease if they’re due. Set your gauge wheel height after installation to maintain proper planter depth across your field conditions.
