Seed Knockout Wheel Operation

A51650-UN-04FEB03
A - Seed Knockout Wheel
The seed knockout wheel (A) is used to ensure that certain
seed types are fully released from seed cell. Wheel projections engage
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 seed planted with flat type seed disks. Sugar beet
and sweet corn seed can have sharp edges and is typically irregular
in shape, creating a potential for seeds to become lodged in the seed
cell. Some sorghum seed contains large amounts of foreign material
which can also become trapped in cell or cell holes.
