About Walking Wheel Assemblies
Walking Wheels are a very popular means of adding press wheels to any type of airseeder or combine. Walking Wheels are a dual wheel assembly that run on one single frame. A single wheel version is also available for the “odd” tyne. The press wheels are positioned on a rocking walking beam at the same spacing as the tynes. All Manutec Walking Wheels are fitted with Integral Hub Press Wheels with the tapered roller bearings and marine seal.
Available in: Fixed and swivel models
Tyre: Can be fitted with any tyre profile from Manutec’s 15″, 16″ or 18″ tyre range
