New Furrow Closing System
 ✖  |
Here in the Southwest we have a lot of sandy soils. Conventional "V" closing wheels don't work well because they tend to form a hardpan over the seed that keeps it from breaking through. Our new furrow closing system replaces "V" closing wheels on Deere 7100 planters. It uses a press wheel attachment and drag closing system to pull loose soil back over the trench. Weights can be added onto the drag to pull more soil over the seed. A rod and spring provide down pressure. The drag is held by a chain and designed so that it won't interfere with the planter whenever it's raised or lowered. Also fits the Deere 7300 as well as Kinze and KMC planters. Sells for $145.
