Description
Martin 15inch Single Spike Closing system for John Deere, Kinze, or any planter with 5/8 bolt mounting.
Standard smooth closing wheels close the seed trench by crushing the soil down from the top. In high moisture clay soils this usually results in poor emergence on account of the dense soil layer that the seeds need to penetrate to emerge from the soil. This condition is made worse when a number of drying days immediately follow planting, therefore, the addition of a single spiked wheel together with a smooth wheel will offer good seed trench closing and warming of the seed zone.
The smooth and spiked wheel combination works well in high moisture conditions because the smooth wheel presses soil around the seed, while maintaining depth control for the spiked wheel on the opposite side which spades the sidewall, leaving a crumbled soil covering above the seed for fast soil warming action.
