Closing Wheel Zips Up Seed Furrow
The Zipper Closing Wheel from Schaffert Manufacturing closes up the seed furrow without compacting the soil. Zipper-like prongs on a ring at the wheel's edge feather soil into the furrow for ideal seed-to-soil contact.
"Our Zipper Closing Wheel is designed to work in tough soils," says Paul Schaffert. "It's like no other closing wheel on the market."
The closing wheel is fabricated from heavy-duty cast metal with a rim for the "zipper" ring. A wheel with ring and bearing is available from Schaffert for $70 or $140 per row (two wheels).
Replacement rings for the Schaffert wheel or for use on existing rubber closing wheels are available for $45 each. The angled bars on the ring prevent the wheel from plugging.
