Rubber pack wheels PLANTING EQUIPMENT Accessories 12-1-24 Amazonen-Werke uses deflated rubber tires mounted on specially constructed hubs to pack the ground before seeding.
The rubber tires, mounted in-line on a single steel cylinder hub, also drive the drill. "We get less slippage with rubber drive tires resulting in more accurate seeding. And they do a better job packing due to the unique design of the wheel," says company representative Reinhold Schirmbeck.
Two curved metal rims support the outer edges of each deflated tire. As the tire presses down into the soil, it leaves a hump of loose soil at center with two packed furrows on each side. The drill plants into the furrows and then the loose soil is pulled down over the seed.
