New Way To Upgrade Press Wheel Springs
 ✖  |
Maury Kaiser found a better way to deal with worn castings on his Deere 7000 planter. His Easy-Spring is easier and less costly than replacing the casting, and it makes replacing broken closing springs in the future easier too. He has it patented and is currently selling it in sets of four.
“My castings were worn really bad, and I got lazy, not wanting to change out the casting,” recalls Kaiser. “I figured a bracket that bolted into the worn hole in the casting would be easier than replacing it.”
The Easy-Spring prevents additional wear and tear on the already worn casting. If the bracket wears out, it can be replaced in about 5 min. The closing wheel spring attaches to the Easy-Spring bracket instead of the casting.
“The spring on the closing wheel, when attached to the OEM casting, has four positions for adjusting pressure on the closing wheel,” says Kaiser. “Using the Easy-Spring bracket reduces adjustment options to three, but all four are seldom used.”
Easy-Spring also eliminates the need to pull the planter into the shop when a closing wheel spring breaks. “With Easy-Spring in place, I can replace springs in the field in 20 min.,” says Kaiser.
Although the bracket can be quickly replaced when it shows wear, it also offers another option. “Unlike the OEM casting, the Easy-Spring bracket can be welded shut and a new hole drilled through it,” adds Kaiser.
Kaiser sells Easy-Spring brackets (with bolts) in 4-packs from his website or by phone. They are priced at $95.00 and fit Deere 7000, 7200, 1760 and 1770 planters. They also fit Kinze 2300, 3000, 3005 and 3600 planters. He says installation takes only 20 min. per row.
