ABOUT

   STARR TRAK was designed and built as a logical answer to irrigation rutting problems. The system is simple, affordable, and most importantly, effective. Not only will it solve your rutting issues, it will do so without creating other problems.

   The patented STARR TRAK system has proven to tremendously increase flotation allowing the machine to roll more freely resulting in much shallower tracks. For instance, in one field test, high-float tires were creating ruts anywhere from 12” to 24”. When the STARR TRAK system was used, the ruts were only two to four inches deep. One to two feet versus two to four inches, that’s roughly a 600% improvement in track depth. With this improvement, difficult soil types that have previously prevented automated irrigation systems from being installed may now be manageable using STARR TRAK.

   Not only does this system increase flotation, it also helps minimize rutting from soil erosion through its horizontal traction pattern which allows water to move to the outside of the track rather than centralizing water flow as do existing tire patterns. In addition, STARR TRAK is designed to keep the tires in their factory-designed angle (something that can’t be done with solid metal or bolt on wheels) so as to not put any added stress on the axels and support tubes. Also, STARR TRAK may be used on the entire system or simply on problem towers.


   Imagine no shut down calls at midnight, no missed water timing, no digging or pulling machines out, no more filling in ruts. Then imagine, smooth field preparation and harvest operations under your pivot or linear system without damage to equipment. Imagine solving the cause of the problem rather than just fighting the symptoms. This is what STARR TRAK delivers.

    The market is in need of a solution and we are ready to help solve your problems.
