Abstract
A wheel track scraper is provided for use with a field irrigation system utilizing a support tower having at least a pair of wheels in trailing alignment wherein the support tower wheels displace dirt as they track a repetitive path across a field as the irrigation system moves. It includes a pair of scraper blades, each having two blade portions joined together at an angle with an apex in the central portion of said scraper blades, attached to an attachment bracket, attached at one end to the support tower, and configured at the other end to hold the pair of opposing scraper blades between said tower wheels and positioned to push field dirt displaced by wheel rotation into the track where the wheel has traveled.

A wheel track scraper, for use with a field irrigation system utilizing a wheeled support tower wherein said support tower wheel displaces dirt as it tracks a repetitive path across a field as it rotates, which comprises:
- a pair of generally V-shaped scraper blades;
- and
- an attachment bracket, attached at a first end to said support tower, and configured at a second end to hold said pair of scrapper blades adjacent to said tower wheel in a position to push field dirt displaced by wheel rotation into the track where the wheel has traveled.
A wheel track scraper, for use with a field irrigation system utilizing a wheeled support tower wherein said support tower wheel displaces dirt as it tracks a repetitive path across a field as it rotates, which comprises:
- a pair of scraper blades, each having two blade portions joined together at an angle with an apex in the central portion of said scraper blade;
- and
- an attachment bracket, attached at a first end to said support tower, and configured at a second end to hold said pair of scrapper blades adjacent to and behind said tower wheel in a position to push field dirt displaced by wheel rotation into the track where the wheel has traveled.

A wheel track scraper, for use with a field irrigation system utilizing a wheeled support tower wherein said support tower wheel displaces dirt as it tracks a repetitive path across a field as it rotates, which comprises:
- a pair of scraper blades, each scraper blade having two blade portions joined together at an angle with an apex in the central portion of said scraper blade, each scraper blade further having outer ends, said pair of scraper blades positioned in angled space apart relationship wherein the outer ends of each of said scraper blades extend out from opposite sides of the track of the path of travel of the support tower wheel, and said central apexes remain within the track of the path of the support tower wheel;
- and
- an attachment bracket, attached at a first end to said support tower, and configured at a second end to hold said pair of scrapper blades adjacent to and behind said tower wheel in a position to push field dirt displaced by wheel rotation into the track where the wheel has traveled.
