State-Of-The-Art Planter Disc Scrapers
“Our new scrapers bolt right onto the axle of the opening discs on any planter and offer a lot of advantages over standard frame-mounted scrapers,” says Eric Hesla, Pro Mags LLC, Tea, S. Dak.
  The universal scrapers are designed to replace the original frame-mounted scrapers on any planter. Using a wrench, you can adjust the mounting arm tension and set the blade to make contact anywhere along the opening disc.
  “The scraper’s design forces mud and stubble away from the opening disc and the internal side of the planter’s gauge wheels, preventing the soil buildup that you get with standard frame-mounted scrapers,” says Hesla. “The design also prevents soil and trash from plugging up between the opening discs.
  “The patented scrapers can be used on any planter with or without our patented Pro Mag gauge wheels. They’re compatible with the new 15 and 16-in. double roller bearing disc opener designs found on newer planters.”
  The scrapers sell for $39.99 apiece plus S&H. “The mounting body is a one-time purchase, and there is only the scraper blade to replace over time as it wears,” says Hesla. “We currently offer models for both single bearing and double bearing openers.”

      New For 2017
  For the ultimate performance in scrapers, Pro Mags scraper blades are now available with tungsten carbide. “We use revolutionary technology to make a uni-body blade for the ultimate cleaning and extended wear,” says Hesla. “The uni-body blade provides a smooth, contiguous surface without the need for bulky aluminum housings to hold a carbide strip which provides a clean ‘shaving’ of the opener disc rather than a squared ‘pushing’ action. Tungsten carbide scraper blades are available for both planter and Deere air seeder scraper kits.”
