A high-yielding corn crop starts with perfect and even emergence. Achieve seed trench closure and break up sidewall compaction with the 6200 Poly Spike Closing Wheel. A twisted-spike with a rounded center-ring design maintains the depth of the spikes and makes it effective in a wide range of soil conditions. The Poly Spike Closing Wheel works in wide range of tillage practices: minimum till, conventional, strip-till, vertical tillage, and no-till.
Features:
Wheel utilizes twisted poly spike and a rounded center
Closes the disc opening in both wet and ideal conditions
Ring design maintains wheel depth
Is available with full wheel assembly or as ring-only insert option for installation on factory wheels
Is made with ultra-high molecular weight
(UHMW
) plastic material
Enhances seed-to-soil contact and helps prevent yield-robbing air pockets
Eliminates potential for sidewall compaction
The new model actually lifts and twists the soil toward the center of the seed trench while packing the seed the seed trench.
We put these on our planter last year and I can honestly say it was one of the best additions we made. The Yetter Poly Spkied closing wheels will provide some of the most consistent stands among other brands of closing wheels. In 2017 independent research showed a 13 bushel increase over standard rubber wheels. Using this figure these closing wheels will pay for themselves in a hurry.
Figure it costs $1840 to outfit a 16 row planter with Yetter Twister closing wheels. Lets also assume a conservative 3 bushel per acre yield increase at $3.50 corn
(even though side by side studies have shown a larger yield gain
)
175 acres x 3 bpa x $3.50 = $1837.50
This shows the closing wheels will fully pay for themselves in the first 175 acres! There's very few things you can buy these days with such a quick payback.
