Galileo Wheel, creator of the patented TrakWheel airless tire technology, partnered with DFS Finance, a division of First National Bank of Omaha, offering farmers a five-year full buy-out financing option on TrakWheel Architected Wheel Solutions. The program is available through DFS Finance approved dealers, including all authorized Valley and Lindsay dealer networks, two pivot irrigation system manufacturers in North America.
With terms of up to five years, and the option to finance replacement tires, the program lets farmers and irrigation operators upgrade to TrakWheel airless tire technology.
“Farmers today are under real pressure, and we take that seriously,” Chris Rice, executive vice president of sales at Galileo Wheel, said. “We spent a long time working to make this financing happen to give any farmer access to the best technology available. Now they can eliminate pivot downtime from day one, spread the investment over five years and get a first-in-the-industry 10-year warranty. The ROI is immediate — the cash outlay no longer has to be.”
The program is structured as a full buy-out option, with all financing subject to DFS underwriting and credit approval. Collateral may be required.
“Galileo’s Architected Wheel Solutions represent exactly the kind of long-term infrastructure investment that financing is designed for,” Chris Halbur, senior vice president of DFS Finance, said. “This program gives dealers a powerful tool to close sales on high-value upgrades while giving farmers the flexibility to manage capital expenditure across multiple seasons.”
