    摘要: A wheel adapted for use with a trench closing assembly. The wheel has a circumferential tread coaxial with a central axis of the wheel, the circumferential tread extending axially an axial width. A continuous wall member joined with the circumferential tread extends radially inward to a central opening and axially outward from an inner edge of the circumferential tread by an axial distance, the axial distance not extending beyond a vertical plane that is perpendicular to the central axis at a midpoint of the axial width, whereby the circumferential tread and the wall member together defining a shape in the form of an uppercase Greek letter sigma.

    摘要: A row unit for an agricultural planter has features for releasably operably coupling a seed meter of the row unit to a seed deposition apparatus of the row unit such as a seed conveyor, seed tube, or the like. Apparatus may be used for tipping a seed meter of the hopper for disengagement from the seed deposition apparatus, or for biasing the seed deposition apparatus into operative engagement with the seed meter. The row unit includes features such as latches for releasably operably coupling the row unit to crop input and vacuum supply lines. Apparatus may also be used for tipping a seed meter of the hopper for disengagement from the crop input and vacuum supply lines. Systems are used for supplying vacuum and crop inputs to the seed meter via the releasably engageable apparatus.
