The present invention provides a pull-out force compensating gearbox mount for an irrigation machine. According to an exemplary preferred embodiment, the present invention provides a system to counteract pull-out forces by inducing camber into the wheel gearbox and thus the tire. According to a further preferred embodiment, the tire of the present invention preferably begins to camber as a result of excessive pull-out force, with the bottom of the tire moving outwards relative to the top of the tire. This camber action is preferably applied to mitigate the pull-out forces. According to a further preferred embodiment, when excessive pull-out forces are reduced, the tire is then returned to its original position.
