1 TRACKING SOLUTIONS SUPERIOR TRACTION. BETTER PERFORMANCE. HIGHER YIELDS.

2 UNMATCHED TRACKING PERFORMANCE NFTrax s unique structure starts at the core with a steel rim center. A heavy-duty vulcanized rubber belt with steel cable core is tensioned over 10 drive points for ideal weight distribution, flexibility and traction. Pneumatic tires lose air and are subject to punctures and failures. Solid alternatives lack the flexibility to adapt to terrain reducing traction and increasing track depth. However, NFTrax adapts to terrain without creating deep ruts and moves right over field obstructions without getting stuck. Plus the load of the tower is spread across the full footprint of the track maximizing flotation. Unlike standard tire sidewalls, mud and soil are not deposited outside the track. THE BEST SOLUTION TO ELIMINATE FLATS AND WHEEL TRACKING Proven through advanced design and on-farm testing, NFTrax can help growers who have problems with flat tires and rutting, minimizing downtime in the field. Specially designed tread pattern provides superior traction with minimal soil disturbance Airless design no punctures or bad sidewalls Tensioned rubber belt with steel core Open design less soil buildup and improved cleanout Improved track maintenance due to horizontal tread and high/ low pressure soil interaction Flexible track adapts to obstructions and rough terrain

3 TRACKING SOLUTIONS IT TAKES STRENGTH AND TRACTION TO KEEP YOUR IRRIGATION SYSTEMS RUNNING SMOOTHLY. ZIMMATIC BY LINDSAY OFFERS A COMPREHENSIVE LINE OF TRACKING SOLUTIONS TO HANDLE THE MOST DIFFICULT TERRAINS SO YOU CAN DELIVER WATER AND CHEMICALS TO EVERY AREA OF YOUR FIELD, ELIMINATING IDLE ACRES AND INCREASING YIELDS. NFTrax Revolutionary design reduces costly downtime and excessive rutting The patented NFTrax is an airless wheel design that will never go flat and keeps wheel ruts to a minimum saving time, labor and replacement costs. 5-YEAR WARRANTY Compared to pneumatic and solid tires, NFTrax helps growers avoid tread damage, punctures and air pressure checks. In addition, it reduces wheel rut depth, allowing trouble-free operation throughout the season. NFTrax s unique design controls water runoff and reduces track erosion for faster field drying time. Decreased rutting NFTrax applies even pressure across the entire belt surface, forming a large surface area for even distribution of the machine s weight. In contrast, standard pneumatic and solid tires apply greater pressure to the middle of the track base as they roll, generating a vertical channel for runoff. NFTrax s horizontal imprint forms small pools of water which dry quickly and do not create runoff channels. Without large ruts, growers will spend less time repairing fields, and experience less wear and tear on all types of farm equipment. Eliminates flat tires Flexible design adapts to terrain Increases traction Reduces wheel track depth Eliminates downtime Traditional NFTrax TRADITIONAL TIRES VS. NFTrax Through extensive field testing, NFTrax s wheel track depth can be as much as 30 to 50% less than that of standard 11.2"x 38" tires in similar operating conditions. When compared to solid tire alternatives, improvement to the track depth is even greater.

4 Three-Wheel Solution Three-Wheel Tower Structure Ideal for marshy areas and problem soils Add power to increase traction and prevent rutting with Zimmatic s three-wheel tower structure. Spend less time dealing with stuck machines Increase tire life Reduce drivetrain wear and tear Irrigate acres currently left idle 4x4 Corner Improve the performance of a new or existing corner system by adding a Corner 4x4 drive system four wheels that work together to provide better traction and more even weight distribution of the swing tower. Works with both new and old Zimmatic machines, as well as non-zimmatic or other systems Better performance in ruts and on ridged crops Improves track management Greatly reduces chance of getting stuck Works with all corner tire options Utilizes Genuine Lindsay Parts Reduced rutting and improved traction Wider weight distribution creates better flotation and lower ground pressure which reduces ruts and keeps your irrigation system running smoothly.

5 Radial Tires Radial tires offered by Zimmatic provide a new high-performance alternative to bias tire options. Radial tire construction lessens severe wheel tracking and compaction beneath sprinklers while reducing overall drivetrain wear and tear. Plus, the rugged radial tire design cuts maintenance costs by reducing flats in the field. Benefits 60% larger footprint than 11.2"x 38" bias tires Low air pressure for less compaction and rutting (~15 psi) Wider, stronger tread face and durable side wall Heavy load rating, even at lower pressures Fits standard 10 "x 38" wheel, no tube needed 8-year pro-rated warranty Wide, flat profile for improved flotation and footprint Low air pressure for less compaction and rutting Heavy load rating, even at lower pressures Stronger tread face and sidewall
