Galileo Partners With DFS Finance

Galileo Wheel, creator of TrakWheel airless tire technology, is partnering with DFS Finance, a division of First National Bank of Omaha.

The partnership will provide farmers with "a five-year full buy-out financing option on TrakWheel Architected Wheel Solutions," according to Galileo Wheel officials.

"The program is available through DFS Finance approved dealers, including all authorized Valley and Lindsay dealer networks, the two dominant pivot irrigation system manufacturers in North America. Notably, tires are wearable items typically excluded from equipment financing programs. This makes DFS Finance’s approval of TrakWheel a milestone in the industry, reflecting its recognition as a long-term component of the irrigation system rather than a consumable part.

"Now, TrakWheel Architected Wheel Solutions can be financed as an integral part of a farmer’s equipment investment - a manageable monthly commitment that starts paying back from day one.

"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 - eliminating tire-related downtime and maintenance costs entirely - without adding pressure to their cash flow."

“Galileo’s Architected Wheel Solutions represent exactly the kind of long-term infrastructure investment that financing is designed for,” says Chris Halbur, senior vice president of DFS Finance. “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.”
