Subject: RE: Best Dual Purpose Closing Wheels for Corn Planter


General comment: if you're using 2 spoked closing wheels, you really need a Keeton to do the seed-to-soil contact.

Since they haven't been mentioned yet, I will throw our Thompson wheel into the ring.  I agree with the statement that you should try some different wheel styles on your soil types.  I think you will find that our Thompson wheel performs among the best in true no-till across all soil types for closing action, although it does essentially no seed firming.

-- scroll down on this page for a diagram of how the various styles of closing wheels function.

For durability, and staying free of mud and stalks, our T-whl is among the very best.

best regards,
