Don’t Play Chicken With Your Yields
Let’s be honest, the standard Case IH closing wheel has a hard time closing the furrow in no-till fields. In wetter conditions, it can smear the top
of the soil. When the soil dries out, the furrow cracks back open and you will lose your seed to soil contact.
Schaffert Mfg.’s Chicken Tracker press wheel eliminates this by crumbling the side walls, mellowing the soil, and removing the air pockets. It does not build up with mud or plug with trash. This leads to easier planting, better emergence, and higher yields.

The Chicken Tracker is a direct bolt-on replacement for your old closing wheels and mounts with the same hardware.

For Case IH planters and drills we have the standard 6" or 4" wide Chicken Tracker. Both work well in no-till or minimum till fields. We also have a 2" wide Chicken Tracker to fit many other makes and models of planters and drills.
