Side Depth Gauge Wheel Scrapers
Row unit side depth gauge wheel scrapers are optional
on the PD8070 Planter. When planting in moist or sticky
soils, these scrapers are useful in preventing build-up
that might otherwise result in shallow planting.
Order 8 (one per opener). The standard side gauge
wheel on the PD8070 Planter is 4 inch.
The scrapers mount on the bottom rear of the depth
wheel arm, using the existing bolt and lock washer. The
slot in the scraper is long enough to clear the lower
grease zerk, and allow adjustment as wheel and scraper
wear.
For operations, see “Adjusting Gauge Wheel
Scrapers” on page 51.
