ABSTRACT:
A trench wheel has a relatively thicker wheel center and gradually tapering side walls that produce a thinner wheel as distance from the hub increases. The wheel center is preferably fabricated from stamped metal into a hat or thimble shape, and has a skirt or brim attached thereto which assists with the retention of an elastomeric outer wheel to the wheel center. Special adapter plates are illustrated which, in combination with the wheel center, permits mounting to both front and rear axles of all popular all-terrain vehicles. A method of controlling water in a field using the trench wheels on a vehicle includes cultivating, planting, and traversing the field to displace earthen matter and thereby channel the field.
