Description
If you’ve noticed skips in your stands or uneven emergence, there’s a good chance your closing wheels aren’t doing their job. These metal wheels pack down the soil over freshly planted seeds, ensuring good seed-to-soil contact and proper germination. When closing wheels wear out or get bent, you’ll see it in your stands come emergence time—and that directly affects your bottom line.
What You’re Getting
- Durable metal construction that handles rocks and tough field conditions better than plastic
- Complete assembly with stem bearing and cross hole for proper mounting
- 12-inch diameter gives you good coverage and soil contact
- Direct replacement design—no modifications needed to your existing arms
- Built to the same specs as the original equipment for reliable performance
Built for Real Farm Work
This closing wheel fits the workhorses of many farms—John Deere 7000 and 7100 series planters that have been planting corn and soybeans for decades. It also works on International Harvester 5400 drills, so if you’re running mixed equipment, this part has you covered. These machines see everything from no-till fields to heavy clay, and this wheel is built to handle it all.
Made to Last
Metal wheels outlast plastic ones, especially in rocky or trashy conditions. The bearing assembly is designed to handle the side loads and impacts that come with field work, while the cross hole design ensures the wheel mounts securely and stays put even in rough conditions.
Installation Notes
This is a direct replacement for your worn closing wheels—just remove the old assembly and bolt on the new one. The stem bearing design means it’ll spin freely on your existing arms. If you’re replacing both wheels on a unit, it’s a good time to check your closing wheel arms for wear while you’ve got things apart.
