CLOSING WHEELS for V-shaped mounting

Difficulties closing furrows?

The discs and opener tines create the furrow... but depending on the soil or moisture, it may remain open (see photo below). The result: uneven emergence and lost yield potential.

The solution: FARMFLEX closing wheels that make all the difference.

Our closing wheels bring fine soil back over the seed, close the furrow and ensure uniform compaction. Clear planting for optimal germination.

Your sowing gains in precision. Your crops gain in vigour.

A perfectly closed furrow, whatever the conditions.

The specific design of the profiles developed for these applications by Otico allows us to offer solutions adapted to all types of soils, crops and agronomic practices. Choose one of the solutions from the range of different profile families: smooth (L), studded (C), oblique (LO), notched (LOC).  

Closing the furrow is crucial for optimising emergence!
