New style press wheel tires help boost seed germination PLANTING EQUIPMENT Accessories 17-3-32 "They provide a tighter pack of soil around the seed to help boost seed germination, providing better, faster and more uniform plant emergence," says Drill Disc Supply of its new-style replacement tires for grain drill press wheels.
The company offers replacement tires in two different design configurations. One is a flat tire with a raised center rib measuring 1/2 in. high and 1/2 in. wide. The other is an inverted V-shape with a pointed center crown. "We offer both styles so customers can choose whichever one they prefer. There doesn't appear to be any significant difference between the two from the standpoint of improving seed germination," says Tom Laubach, manufacturer.
The raised rib replacement tires, made of the same material as factory originals, sell for $7 each in the 2 by 13 size, and $9.50 for the 2 by 16 size. V-shaped press wheel tires, available only in the 2 by 13 size, sell for $7. Complete press wheel assemblies, equipped with your choice of standard, high-center rib or "V" shaped tires, sell for $22.50.
