Martin Spading Closing Wheels may be added to late I-H 800 (with factory offset arm) and all 900 series planters, while retaining the planter's smooth closing wheels. The Martin Spading Closing Wheels guarantee a closed seed trench, while the smooth wheel gently tamps the surface. These specially designed toothed wheels replace the regular closing disk.

Moist soil is moved toward the seed at seeding depth even in wet, hard or sod conditions. In wet conditions, the soil is prevented from forming a continuous ribbon by the lifting action of the teeth

 as they rotate up and out of the soil. Other benefits include:
  • Closing wheel arm pressure can be greatly reduced
  • Seed trench is closed in the most severe conditions
  • Seeding depth does not have to be raised to insure emergence
  • Soil above the seed is loose allowing quicker emergence in a compaction free environment
  • Sidewall compaction is eliminated
