Mud Scraper for Corn Planters PLANTING EQUIPMENT Accessories 17-3-23 "It's a simple solution to a sticky problem," says Montezuma Welding of its patented new mud scraper for corn planter depth wheels. A 4.5-in. wide steel blade, shaped to fit the contour of the depth wheel's surface, keeps the wheel free of mud and other debris, ensuring uniform seed depth.
"We field tested 100 scraper attachments last year in a wide variety of mud conditions involving no-till, ridge-till and conventional planting. They worked great, enabling planters to maintain uniform seed depth in less than ideal ground conditions," says Lavem Schmidt, president.
The new mud scraper attachment, avail-able to fit all Kinze and all 7000-7300 series Deere Max-Emerge planters, sells for $72 per row. It bolts onto the hub of the depth wheel. The scraper blade is adjustable and doesn't interfere when backing up. "We anticipate that the steel blade will last up to five or more seasons. It's adjustable and can be moved up closer to the wheel at the start of each season," explains Schmidt.
