Row Closers
J&M's row closers use a damping spring to absorb the bounce of the closing wheel. This allows the closing wheel to keep constant and consistent contact with the ground to fill the gap created by the coulter and knife. Closing wheels help prevent nitrogen from dissipating into the atmosphere and ensure more nitrogen stays in the ground, close to the plant's roots.
1Damping Spring
Spring down pressure force applies up to 125 pounds of down force to absorb the bounce of the closing wheel.
2Cast Hub
Durable, powder-coated 6-bolt cast hub is fully sealed to keep the grease in and the dirt out.
3Radial Ball Bearings
Radial ball bearings allow the closing wheels to rotate smoothly.
4Adjustable Angle
Row closer angle can be set at 3°, 6°, 9°, or 12°. A steeper angle lessens the distance between the closer and the knife and is useful for no-till ground. A shallower angle moves the closer farther away from the knife and is useful for conventional-till ground.
5Adjustable Height
Use either ⅝“ or ¾“ height adjustments to set the height of the closers to a maximum depth of 1¾“. Ideal depth is ¾“.
6Adjustable Distance from Knife
Closer wheel can be set 1½“ to 5½“ behind the knife. The further the wheel is moved back, the closer it is to the knife gap.
Seal Your Nitrogen in Place
J&M's NitroGro applicators precisely place nitrogen where and when it is needed most. Adding row closers to your NitroGro seals the nitrogen in place, ensuring more is absorbed by the plant and less is wasted.
