The leveler pictured above is 56" wide X 6'. This leveler was custom-built for Quail Valley Sod Farms of Arkansas, specifically to pull the rigid shoulders of a center-pivot irrigation system's tire ruts back into the rut, while the rear blade levels the dirt into the rut.
In some cases, a Purdy Sand Wagon was used to fill the balance of the rut with sand. The leveler then ran over the rigid sand to make a smooth bed.
This machine allows you, over time, to develop cuttable sod in the pivot system's tracks.
Another use for this product is for leveling baseball running lanes.
Like other Purdy products, the Center-Pivot Rut Leveler is custom-built to each customer's specifications.
Leveler moldboards, levee squeezer blades, combine headers, etc. can be protected by the addition of polysheeting/polyplating, cut to fit and bolted on. This plastic sheet is inexpensive and greatly increases the life of equipment moldboards. The plating allows dirt and trash to move down the moldboards with less drag, which means easier pulling and less wear and tear on equipment. Headers are protected from wear. In the case of landlevelers, depending on the type of soil, farmers are getting into the fields 1 1/2 to 3 days earlier. Another benefit is that it eliminates winter maintenance of having to paint moldboards.
The plating comes in various thicknesses; some color options are available. Give us your blade dimensions and we will cut and ship your polysheeting, for you to bolt onto your equipment. A cost-effective and money-saving addition to any product with blades or headers.
The Purdy Sand Wagon Click on the Photos for a Full Picture The Purdy Sand Wagon (available and built upon demand) was developed to work in conjunction with the (Center-Pivot) Rut Leveler.
After leveling the ruts, there is generally the need for additional fill-sand. The hydraulically-controlled bottom door allows the driver to center the ruts and control the amount of sand being placed in the rut.
The wide wheel-base gives the cart stability when loaded. The steep sides allow for easy flow.
