Press Wheel Assembly with Cast Wheels
Tight soil may require the need to drag/plow the trench
closed. The factory setting on press wheel assemblies
with cast wheels is 4
° (maximum plow). If the conditions
in your region appear to require less plow, there are two
additional settings: 2
° (less plow) and 0° (no plow). To
change the plow setting:
Refer to Figure 78

Raise planter and install lift assist cylinder locks. See
“Lift-Assist Locks (Option)” on page 23.

for the press wheel .
3. Remove bolt , flat washer and hex nut for
casting .
4. Place a
3 ⁄
4
inch (19 mm) open end wrench on tab
of casting. Rotate casting until the desired angle
setting (4
°, 2° or 0°) hole lines up with a hole on the
press wheel mount weldment (only one set of
holes will line up for each setting).

If press wheel adjustments do not provide satisfactory
