Planter Press Wheels For Grain Drills DRILLS Drills (42C) 7-3-25 SI Manufacturing, in Spencerville, Ohio, has also come up with a modification kit for press wheels on John Deere drills that converts the single, vertical wheel to a V-shaped, two-wheeled assembly. A special bracket mounts in place of the single-wheeled bracket and the old press wheel, along with a new one purchased from Deere, is mounted on it in the same V-shaped configuration used on Max Emerge planters.
"The V-shape increases the effectiveness of the press wheels in increasing soil-toseed contact but doesn't compact the soil above the seed like a single wheel," says SI Manufacturing representative Ron McCleery, noting that the press wheel assembly also has less adverse effect on seed depth than a single wheel that presses directly down on the seed.
The new press wheel bracket, available only for Deere drills, sells for $9.50. Additional press wheels sell for $25.89.
