Schaffert Mohawk Wheel Inserts (Pair/2 Inserts)

Schaffert

  • $ 145.00
  • Save $ 5


The Mohawk is a 13″ angled spiked closing wheel designed to take the place of standard, rubber closing wheels. It works in all soil types, most notably in the toughest of no-till conditions.

CALL BEFORE ORDERING if you have a 7000, 7100, 7200, 7300 or if you have roll pin bearing or a stub shaft on closing wheel bracket.  These alone will not work on your planter. 

The non-aggressive, 1″ angled blunt spikes on the Mohawk feather the soil in the furrow while simultaneously applying light pressure to ensure the furrow is stitched shut.

As the spikes close they create indentations which allow moisture to sink in, increasing seed-to-soil contact.

Mohawk closing wheels are angled so that when they engage the soil at the 5, 6, and 7 o'clock positions, they are breaking the side wall down over the seed plus compacting the soil around the seed. Then, when they exit the soil at the 8 o'clock position, they are angled such that they release the soil, leaving it compacted around the seed. Because of this, you will not need to drag a chain behind them.
