[QUOTE="matttargett4, post: 6582645, member: 2556"] probably should update this on closer and nspection the seed firming wheel was doing lots of damage in some soils by lifting the sidewalls of the trench and throwing them into the air, the resulting crater was where the closing wheel runs meaning variable slot closure, also inconsistent seed depth. so to stop that we tied the firming wheel arm up to the closing wheel arm and removed all the spring tension. this helped but we found the jd spiked closing wheels were running too far away from the slot so there would tipbup the side of the slot as the closed it, leaving a hollow area where the seed was in some instances. the following harrow would the rip off this piece of sidewall which was sticking up. on inspection the jd wheels have spacing washers so we moved the closing wheels in toward the seed trench in the one but closest position, this closed the slot nicely and left the surface flat, we also reduced the pressure on the closing wheels at this point as i was worried the surface was closed too tight and didnt like the idea of pounding on wet dirt unecisarily. we then tried to space the following harrow tines so that they didnt do harm, which was hard and i think they will spend a good bit of time not ot work, they help in some areas but not in others and we couldnt seem to find a good compromise.
