Walking Gauge Wheels

The walking gauge wheels attachment (A) should be used in rocky conditions or in fields with rough surface conditions due to soil clods or residue. In these conditions, the walking gauge wheel reduces the vertical movement of the opener when one gauge wheel rolls over a solid obstacle. The reduced opener movement increases seed depth control.

The walking action is reduced when planting very deep or very shallow.

Walking gauge wheels are not for light soil or well-tilled soil conditions. In these conditions, the gauge wheels can run at different heights relative to each other. The results are poor seed depth consistency and possible poor closing action which may affect emergence.
