PartsClosing wheels
Planter closing wheels
The last thing to touch the seed. We carry more than one kind, so you get what fits your ground.
How they differ
Rubber press wheels
Standard on most planters. Press the furrow shut, and can pack it in wet ground.
Spiked wheels
Break up the sidewall so the furrow closes around the seed, especially in no-till.
Two-stage systems
FurrowForce closes from the bottom up with notched wheels, then firms with stitch wheels.
Pressure from the cab
DuraClose gives you a new closing tail and in-cab airbag pressure with your choice of wheels.
Set them right
- Too little pressure
- Furrow stays open or holds air pockets, and seed dries out or comes up late.
- Too much in loose soil
- Purdue warns true-V press wheels can squeeze kernels upward and hurt depth.
- Too much in wet soil
- Purdue warns it can compact the surface over the furrow and restrict emergence.

Common questions
What are the best closing wheels for no-till?
It depends on your soil and residue. Spiked wheels and two-stage systems are built to break up the sidewall where a rubber wheel can't. Tell us what you're planting into.
What closing wheels fit a John Deere or Kinze planter?
Most aftermarket wheels are built for both. Give us your model and we'll match it.
Can I keep my wheels and adjust pressure from the cab?
Yes. DuraClose gives you a new closing tail with in-cab airbag pressure, and you pick the wheels.
How much closing wheel pressure should I run?
Only enough to close and firm the furrow, and it changes with the soil. Too much in wet or loose ground causes its own problems. Check it when conditions change.
