Press wheels

for a better embedding of the grains

Which press wheel is suitable for which use? Finger and spike press wheel

• The finger press wheel is ideal for heavy and medium soils
• Spike press wheel for medium to light sites
• There is one finger / spike wheel and one standard wheel per row to control the depth and to avoid moving the grains.
• However, the wheels are not suitable for shallow sowing.
• If the furrow wall gets compacted because of the DoubleDisc seed coulters, it is broken by the finger / spike wheel – the furrow is removed.
• Seed furrow is not opened after sowing under dry conditions, especially on heavy clayey sites
• Development of the maize root is encouraged

Rubber and profiled press wheel

• The rubber closing wheels are ideal for light sandy sites
• The profiled rolls are recommended for fine seeds
• The profile creates additional fine earth and can better prevent silting.
