Side Gauge Wheel Adjustment

Refer to Figure 81 and Figure 82

Disc-to-wheel angle and clearance ideally has the wheel

just touching the disc when the wheel is raised to

planting depth (is up against the stop set by the “T”

handle. The goal is to have both discs and wheels turn

freely, but keep soil and trash from getting between

them.
These two adjustments interact with each other.

Changing one requires at least checking the other.
In addition to changing the disc angle due to changing

depth or new field conditions, these two settings may

need attention over time as the disc and wheels wear

from normal use. This adjustment will also need to be

made if any opener components are replaced.

Refer to Figure 82

For 2 inch (5.1 cm) planting depth, adjust side gauge

wheel angle so wheels contact row unit discs at the

bottom of wheel. Check with row units in soil so wheels

are held up.
At the same time, keep side gauge wheels close to

opener discs so openers do not plug with soil or trash.

Wheels should be out far enough so discs and wheels

turn freely.

Refer to Figure 83

To adjust side gauge wheels:
1. Raise the planter and install lift cylinder locks.
2. Loosen hex-head bolt

. Move wheel and arm out

on O-ring bushing.

3. Loosen pivot bolt

. Turn hex adjuster

 so

indicator notch

 is at 5 o’clock to 7 o’clock.

Use this as the starting point for adjustment.

4. Move wheel arm in so side gauge wheel contacts

row unit disc. Tighten hex-head bolt

 to clamp arm

around bushing and shank.

•

Tighten hex-head bolt
