Setting Outer Trailing Wheels (Casters & Struts) Normally, wheels are set to track in the row centers, between the raised seed beds. Tire position will deter- mine flail height, but depth of furrow is also a factor in setting flail height. In some conditions the furrow between the seed beds is deeper on the ends, where irrigation waters enter the field.
