ABSTRACT:
A wheel to support a pipe, or a tower carrying a pipe, of an agricultural irrigation system, especially of a rotary type, provides a polygonal metal web with feet pivotally mounted by foot supports at the vertices of the web. The feet have relatively wide base elements for support on unstable wet earth that define depending protuberances oriented perpendicularly to the direction of travel of the wheel to minimize rut creation of waterflow along ruts in the earth being traversed. Foot supports carried by the wheel provide two spaced radially extending pivot elements about which the supported foot pivots in sequence in moving over supporting earth to lessen the vertical component of motion of the wheel. A species provides a movably mounted cleat on the outer surface of each foot to enhance traction and cleaning action
