| apbeery - 12/24/2012 09:57I put two rows on my 8 row Kinze this year. I am all no-till with some corn planted behind double crop small grain, some into covers. My other 6 rows were cast iron and spike wheel. Overall I was impressed, saw a bit of mud build up but not bad enough to inhibit their closing function. I would say they performed a little better in damp clay loam conditions than the spokes. Trying to decide whether to try the Thompson wheel or just go with the CT. A number of guys are using the double spoke with drags around here and say they work well. Thanks for the interest in our Thompson wheel. I will just quickly point out that the T-whls never break any teeth, and have a 5-yr warranty on the bearings. The bearings last so long that farmers say they forget there are even bearings in our T-whls. As for closing action, sidewall breakage, and accomplishing these without overpacking, the Thompson wheel compares quite favorably.best regards, |
