Adjusting Closing Wheel Down Force

Angled closing wheels trail behind the seed opener and close the seed trench left by the opener. Adjustable spring force permits proper closing of the seed trench by firming soil on each side of the seed, not directly over the seed.

The closing wheel down force can be adjusted by placing the handle in slots (A), (B), (C) and (D) for varying ground conditions. Placing the handle in the middle slot (E) will allow the closing wheels to "FLOAT" with only the weight of the closing wheel system on the soil surface.

A-Slot A (Minimum)
B-Slot B
C-Slot C
D-Slot D (Maximum)
E-Slot E
