    Abstract: A press wheel may be configured for use on cultivation equipment and may include a base member configured to be mounted to an axle. The base member may comprise a plate portion and a rim portion; a resilient coil member mounted to the plate portion of the base member; and a guard member mounted to the base member. The resilient coil member may be configured to wind about the base member to define an outer periphery of the press wheel extending from the plate portion toward the rim portion of the base member. The guard member may at least partially extend between the plate portion and the rim portion of the base member. The guard member may be configured to extend under the resilient coil member.

    Abstract: A fluid control system for supplying fluid to multiple actuators associated with different implements disposed on an agricultural planter row unit. A first one of the multiple actuators is associated with a first implement disposed on the agricultural planter row unit. A second one of the multiple actuators is associated with a second implement disposed on the agricultural planter row unit. The fluid control system controls fluid flow from a fluid source to each of the first and second actuators. In one embodiment, the fluid control system includes an inlet valve, an outlet valve and a pressure sensor, wherein the inlet valve is in fluid communication with the fluid source and the pressure sensor is disposed to measure fluid pressure in a fluid line in fluid communication with the inlet valve and each of the first and second actuators.

    Abstract: A row unit closing wheel assembly includes a closing wheel, a closing wheel arm, and a closing wheel shaft having a first end and a second end. The closing wheel is coupled to the first end and the closing wheel arm is coupled to the second end via a pivot joint. The row unit closing wheel assembly includes an adjustable mechanical assembly disposed at the pivot joint. The adjustable mechanical assembly is configured to adjust an angle of the closing wheel shaft relative to the closing wheel arm along a horizontal plane via movement of the closing wheel shaft about the pivot joint, the horizontal plane being orthogonal to a rotational axis of the pivot joint. The adjustable mechanical assembly includes interlocking teeth and is configured to utilize the interlocking teeth to adjust the angle.

    Abstract: A soil opener includes a support and a soil opener unit. The soil opener unit comprises: first and second soil-cutting members; and a delivery tube with an exit aperture for releasing material to be deposited in the soil. The first soil-cutting member comprises a rotating disc having a first soil-engaging surface inclined: at a first angle to a perpendicular to the soil surface; and at a second angle to the direction of travel, whereby the rotating disc defines a leading upwardly inclined face defining a leading side of the rotating disc and a trailing downwardly-inclined face defining a trailing side of the rotating disc. The second soil-cutting member comprises a fixed blade defining a second soil-engaging surface. The second soil-engaging surface comprises a soil-lifting surface projecting laterally relative to the first soil-cutting member, and the exit aperture of the delivery tube is provided adjacent a rear part of the soil-lifting surface.

    Abstract: A singulating meter includes a seed disc with seed apertures rotates in a vertical plane through a seed reservoir. A horizontal seed tube has an inlet adjacent to the top of the seed disc and the seed apertures move along a seed aperture path toward the inlet. Pressurized air flows into the tube inlet, and through each seed aperture as it rotates upward out of the seed reservoir pushing a seed into each seed aperture which seed then moves along the seed aperture path through about 180 degrees of rotation to a release position at the top of the path where the seed is carried horizontally into the seed tube. An ejector pushes debris out of the seed apertures into the seed tube. An alignment guide moves the singulator element of the meter into the operating position where same is magnetically secured.
