6.6.5 - Closing Wheel Types

The DSX can be equipped with 3 differing types of closing wheel depending upon soil conditions.
As Standard the DSX is fitted with a Notched closing Wheel
The 'V' type closing wheel is for usage in heavy soils in no till or
shallow tillage conditions
To Adjust the closing wheel angle:
1. Loosen the retaining nut (1)
2. With the retaining nut loosened twist the spindle (2) using the
flats on the spindle and a 32mm Spanner to adjust the marks
(3) accordingly. Rotating the axle forward leads to a more
aggressive closing setting. Rotating the axle backwards leads to
a less aggressive closing setting.
3. Re torque the retaining nut (214Nm) – Holding the spindle in
place as you do so to prevent movement for the desired setting.
The 'Notchedl' type closing wheel is suitable for use on most
soils (Except very light soils). The profile of the wheel helps to
remove the localised compaction caused by the side gauge
wheel, by crumbling the edge of the slot, and the profile helps to
close and firm the slot.
The 'W' type closing wheel is suitable for usage on light to medium
soils in min till/ no till applications and is suited to most conditions
