COULTER MOUNTED RESIDUE WHEELS
Coulter mounted residue wheels are designed for use on row units.
Coulter Mounted Residue Wheels
Residue wheels attach to row unit mounted coulter with two cap screws and sleeves allowing unit to free-float. A
2-position spindle bolt mounting positions wheels interlocked or staggered. Depth adjustment is made with a spring-
loaded cam and pin with 11 positions in ¼" increments. A high point on the cam allows wheels to be locked up.
A weed guard on the inboard side of each wheel helps prevent weed wrap which can cause premature bearing failure.
NOTE: Opening in weed
guard must face down.
Weed guard
Move blade as it wears to one of the three lower hole to maintain coulter blade at or slightly above opener discs.
Adjust coulter below depth of double disc opener blades in very hard soil conditions such as compacted wheel tracks
to improve opener penetration and cutting of surface residue.
Check operating depth by setting planter down on a level concrete floor and checking relationship between coulter
blade and row unit opener blade. Make sure planter is level and coulter is square with planter frame and aligned with
row unit disc opener.
NOTE: Torque ⅝" spindle hardware to 120 ft-lb (162.7 N-m).
