Adjusting Closing Wheel Down Force

NOTE: Closing-wheel down force can affect seed placement and depth. Do not use more force than necessary to close seed furrow, especially in light soils.

Angled closing wheels trail behind seed opener and close the seed trench created by openers. The closing wheels firm soil on each side of seed, not directly over seed. Adjustable spring-force permits proper closing of seed trench.

Place handle in slots (A), (B), (C) and (D) to adjust down force for varying ground conditions. Placing handle in middle slot (E) will allow closing wheels to "Float" with only the weight of closing wheel system on soil surface.

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