Soucy Track Systems for Planters
Soucy S-TECH 012P track system can easily be fitted on John Deere 1770NT and 1775NT, Orthman DR24 and Case IH 1250, 1255 and 2150 planters from 12 to 24 rows without any modification. By using Soucy tracks, John Deere planters benefit from a better soil contact surface — a surface five times as large as that for tires. In addition, reduced ground pressure allows users to increase greatly their productivity while loading their equipment up to the maximum load capacity. Tracks for corn planters increase flotation, reduce soil compaction and preserve soil structure. As a result, with more aerated soil, crops benefit from better rooting and growing conditions.

Yetter Farm Equipment 6200 Twister Closing Wheels
Yetter Twister Poly Closing Wheels have been field proven to effectively close the seed trench by utilizing the twisted spike design to breakdown sidewall compaction. The twisted spike design crumbles soil, eliminating air pockets and increasing seed to soil contact, giving you closing performance when it counts the most.
The two newest members of the Twister family are the Twister Short Poly Closing Wheel and the Twister Cast Closing Wheel. The Twister Short Poly Closing Wheel is ideal for shallow planted crops like cotton and sugarbeets. The Twister Cast Closing wheel, weighing 16 pounds each is a great option for reduced tillage operations.

Closing Wheel Options from Schaffert Mfg.
Schaffert’s closing wheels eliminate side wall compaction and the furrow cracking back open. Add them to your planter or drill for better seed to soil contact and quicker emergence.
The Mohawk™ and Zipper™ break up compaction and eliminate air pockets as they close the furrow, without disturbing seeds. The Zipper is more aggressive, rototilling the soil and putting more over the furrow. The NEW all-cast Mohawk and Zipper are less likely to build up with mud and wrap in heavy cover crops.
The Chicken Tracker™ press wheel crumbles the top and side walls, mulching and mellowing the soil over the seed bed. It does not plug with root balls.

4 Link Closer™ Closing Systems by Schaffert Mfg.
Schaffert’s 4 Link Closer makes your planter high-tech by giving you a dual parallel linkage system. While standard swing arm tail sections have only 4” of travel up and down, the 4LC has 9” of vertical travel.
The 4LC eliminates planter bounce in the field, lets you run less down pressure, enables faster planting speeds, and keeps the closing wheels parallel to the seed trench at all times. It gives more even depth control and better seed-to-soil contact for even emergence.
The 4LC fits most double disc opener planters and comes with ground attachments for Mohawk™/Zipper™ closing wheels and the G2™/G3™ walking beam arm.

Martin Industries Weight Transfer System (WTS)
Excess weight in the center of a planter or improper weight distribution often leads to yield-robbing compaction, shallow or inconsistent planting, and reduced plant vigor. In addition, the natural reduction in weight that occurs during planting contributes to the problem of down force fluctuations that can negatively impact the accuracy of seed and fertilizer placement.
Martin Industries’ innovative new Martin-Till Weight Transfer System (WTS) addresses this weight problem by redistributing excess weight from the center of the planter to the wings. The kit includes:
- In-cab control box which allows for easy adjustment as you plant
- Patented bolt-on bracket design requires no welding and is easy to install
- The hydraulic control kit provides durable and quick adjustment
- Mounting bracket allows for frame-mount nitrogen coulter installation

One wheel is enough for up to 6 rows with seed and fertilizer. May need a hose kit for vacuum planters. Certain planters may need a wheel floater kit.

PPS Parallel Linkage Flange Bushing Rebuild Kits are Better Than New
In the past, worn parallel linkage arms and bushings have always had to be replaced with new and expensive ones. The design of the Precision Planter Solutions’ flanged bushing kit keeps the bushings and arms tight so that the wear now takes place on the bushings instead of the parallel linkage arms.
Parts include a hardened flanged bushing with a small built-in “dowel” that fits into a hole drilled into one side of the arm, and a threaded hex bushing that fits into the flange bushing. A special shoulder bolt holds the 2 bushings together.
The dowel locks itself into the arm to keep the flanged bushing from turning.

Soy-Protein DUST is a Healthier, Safer and Cleaner Replacement for Graphite and Talc
This patented seed lubricant is the perfect seed-box treatment for your current planter or drill technology to use with any seed. DUST provides the needed lubricity for proper seed flow.
Cleaner: no more having to clean your hands, face or clothing from talc/graphite grime.
DUST is created entirely from U.S.-sourced soybeans. Since it is made wholly from soy protein, it will disappear within 28 days from the furrow and provide more green-up and early plant viability.
DUST is a low use rate product. Generally, the starting rate should be no greater than ¼ cup per unit of seed. PLEASE COMPARE COST PER UNIT.

The Exapta Ninja Seed Bounce Flap Closes the Gap and Keeps More Seeds in the Furrow
The unique 20-degree forward bend of the Exapta Ninja Seed Bounce Flap closes the gap left by OEM flaps, keeping more seeds in the furrow. Since it is flexible and less likely to break in the field, it is proven to outlast other flaps by five times.
The flap on the seed boot is what keeps seeds from bouncing out of the furrow, and this is even more critical on air drills, since the air stream is also trying to escape and may carry seeds along with it. JD & aftermarket flap suppliers use a straight flap, made from materials that are too brittle – often snapping off in the field.

UniForce Hydraulic Down-Pressure System Gets Your JD 50/60/90/Pro-series Drill to Work the Way it Should
The biggest downfall of the JD 50/60/90/Pro-series drills is how down-force is applied—the rockshaft twists to compress a big coil spring on each opener. Because the spring is nearly parallel to the arm, the opener has almost no downstroke—i.e., the spring is applying the correct amount of down-force for only about 1/4” of its range.
The Exapta UniForce Hydraulic Down-Pressure System offers:
- Uniform pressure on all openers
- Reduce/eliminate hairpinning
- Less sidewall compaction
- Get consistent depth!
- Better use of frame weight
- Greater up/down travel on openers
- 3-year warranty on cylinders (some restrictions apply)
