Sugar Beet, Sorghum and Sweet Corn Seed Knockout Wheel

The seed knockout wheel (A) is used to insure that certain seed types are fully released from the seed cell. The wheel projections engage the seed cell holes, forcing all seeds and foreign material to be ejected.

The seed knockout wheel is required when planting sorghum, mono-germ, sugar beet and sweet corn seed. Sugar beet and sweet corn seed can have sharp edges and is typically irregular in shape, creating the potential for the seeds to become lodged in the seed cell. Some sorghum seed contains large amounts of foreign material which can also become trapped in the cell or cell holes.
