Seed Tube Protector For Deere & Kinze Planters PLANTERS Planters 24-1-37 The latest new add-on for row-crop planters is a Seed Tube Protector from R K Products, an Illinois company well-known for its repair and improvement kits for planters and no-till drills.
Designed for Deere and Kinze planters, it consists of a 5/16-in. thick steel holder bracket that's held rigidly to the shank just ahead of the seed tube with 5/16-in. dia. solid steel rivets. The rivets eliminate problems with roll pins breaking or working their way out.
The bracket is fitted with a "floating wear block". It floats in the holder bracket, maintaining a constant space between the opener discs under variable load conditions from the ground. It's made from a resin-based fiberglass and graphite-filled material. The graphite provides a low co-efficient of friction resulting in a wear life at least twice that of the original equipment. The block can be inverted for additional life. It's easily replaced by removing one opener disc.
