John Deere Planter Closing Wheels
Good seed-to-soil contact is essential for rapid, uniform emergence. That’s why, at James River Equipment, you can tailor your planting system to your crop and field conditions with a full selection of closing systems:
Pneumatic Closing Wheels - Allow adjustments from the cab in just seconds and provide consistent trench closing in rough field conditions.
Standard Rubber-Tire Closing Wheels - Allow spacing and stagger adjustments to improve residue flow.
Cast-Iron Closing Wheels - Best for tough soils and heavier residue when more pressure is needed to close the furrow.
Disk Closing System - Ideal for shallow planting in lighter soils, these wheels push soil against and over the seed while the press wheel applies light pressure for good seed-to-soil contact.
