Maximizing Yield: Your Practical Guide to Optimal Seed Trench Coverage
Each planting season, the challenge for us farmers is to cover the seed trench perfectly.
If you’re still sticking with factory rubber closing wheels or leaving it to the weather, there’s a chance you’re missing out on maximizing your yield. Regardless of your tillage approach or soil composition, the Yetter Twister will seal the seed trench, guaranteeing an ideal seed-to-soil contact for optimal germination.
Read more to learn why the Yetter Twister is your cost-effective, high-performing alternative, bringing a solid return on investment.
How the Yetter Closing Wheel Works
1. CRUMBLES & FIRMS SIMULTANEOUSLY
The circular 12-inch center ring maintains consistent depth. RangeLine suggests spacing your Twister Closing Wheels at 1-1/4″.
2. WORKS IN DIVERSE FIELD CONDITIONS
Optimize performance for minimum-till, conventional, strip-till, vertical tillage, or no-till by adjusting down pressure on the tail wheel closing arm.
3. FRACTURES THE SIDEWALL
In wet, unfavorable planting conditions, the Twister fractures the sidewall. This reduces the potential for crusting and the seed trench drying out and cracking open.
4. PREVENTS MUD BUILD UP
A smooth surface and a rounded center design help prevent problematic mud buildup, which can interfere with seed trench closure.
5. COST-EFFECTIVE AND EASY TO INSTALL
It takes as little as five minutes to install.
HOW TO INSTALL & TOOLS YOU NEED
The Twister is so easy to install! The only tools you’re going to need are 15/16 impact socket and a wrench. So, let’s get started.
Take the old closing wheels off
Save the original hardware
Find the narrowest point at the bottom
Measure the inside distance between the bottom teeth
Start with 1 ¼” spacing
