Description
If your planter’s closing wheels aren’t keeping good contact with the soil or you’re getting uneven seed coverage, the problem might be a worn-out closing wheel lever. This little component controls the down pressure on your closing wheels—making sure they firm the soil properly over each seed for good soil-to-seed contact and even emergence. A bent or damaged lever leaves you with inconsistent closing action and spotty stands.
What You’re Getting
- Direct replacement lever that controls closing wheel down pressure for consistent soil firming
- Sturdy construction that handles the constant flexing and pressure changes during planting
- Fits a wide range of MaxEmerge planters plus DB models and newer drill units
- Precise fit that restores proper geometry and closing wheel performance
- Easy to install with basic tools—no modifications needed
Built for Real Farm Work
This lever works on MaxEmerge 2, MaxEmerge Plus, MaxEmerge Pro, Pro XP, and all the DB planters, plus it fits the 1530 and 1535 drills. Whether you’re planting corn in heavy clay or soybeans in no-till conditions, these are the machines doing the bulk of planting work across the Midwest and beyond.
Made to Last
Planter parts take a beating from rocks, roots, and constant soil contact at planting speeds. This lever is built to handle the stress of adjusting closing wheel pressure on the go, plus the vibration and impacts that come with covering thousands of acres each season.
Good to Know
Installation is straightforward—usually involves removing a pin or bolt, swapping the old lever for the new one, and putting everything back together. Take a minute to check your closing wheel springs and bushings while you’ve got things apart. A little grease on the pivot points keeps everything working smoothly.
