[QUOTE="Farmer Roy, post: 6577926, member: 71668"] the little in furrow presswheel is brilliant in dry or marginal conditions, at ensuring the seed is pushed into the moisture at the bottom of the slot & getting good seed / soil contact However - in anything even remotely resembling “sticky” soil conditions ( even if dry in the surface ) we tend to just remove them completely as they cause all sorts of grief with mud sticking to them, picking up seeds out of the trench, or physically blocking up or reducing trash flow etc . . . Would be keen to try some of the yellow polyurethane ( I think ? ) wheels from Exapta in the US which are claimed to not stick to soil But yeah, wet sticky conditions, even having no pressure on the presswheel it can still be problematic. In those high moisture conditions, better to remove it altogether & run a spiked style closing wheel which is much better at closing the slot if conditions are a bit tight or cheesy PS - heavy black alluvial clay soils, full zero till [IMG alt="No photo description available."]https://scontent.fsyd8-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/13221578_619613474852806_349014082510934918_n.jpg?_nc_cat=104&_nc_oc=AQk1EbFOaOJ-VLQYb3abN-K6Lzd2oG9Xk_R79241g_RaL0Qy6GaeZmnxWft5b4fw1f8&_nc_ht=scontent.fsyd8-1.fna&oh=fea7c7dc447458fd9f6e28f82c946d0e&oe=5E2F248D[/IMG] [IMG alt="No photo description available."]https://scontent.fsyd8-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/13230148_619613471519473_4985560667596843066_n.jpg?_nc_cat=103&_nc_oc=AQmnq2GHO26V-4FAIvHllC4ec_AFueVQn6djuyEtzo1gIBA-d7W6zj4LepooJ2HAW9k&_nc_ht=scontent.fsyd8-1.fna&oh=da3a91f6f66e09abbb3d4174ddb27f9b&oe=5E3802DB[/IMG] not a JD750a, but a very similar row unit design planting canola [/QUOTE]
