But they aren't filling with mud in mine and what little bit that gets in is coming out the back. It is just literally a sticky mud that is building on the face of the disc that the rubber isn't scraping off. @Feldspar seems to have the same and he has got spoked wheels.
THAT is why you need the steel scraper ring on your gauge wheel
Run them up against the disc
Two basic styles. One is a fabricated ring that is pressed / glued onto the tyre
The other is like a pressed metal "dish" that bolts inside the gauge wheel, using the bolts that hold the 2 halves together.
They do work on closed gauge wheels, but obviously the spoked ones do allow more mud to fall out
