Martin Row Cleaners provide a simple, cost-effective, way to eliminate the problems caused by excessive crop residue in the seed row area while maintaining the benefits of mulched row middles. Residue is not buried, just moved aside to improve planter performance.
The lightly-tilled residue free zone offers these distinct advantages for planter operation:
- Eliminates unit bounce
- Allows for fine tuning of seed depth placement
- Gives herbicides in the row area contact with soil
- Permits sunlight to warm soil and speed germination
- Does not scrape the soil surface and seal off pores
- Will not create a furrow, like discs
- Does not throw out soil under wetter conditions as in coulter or multiple coulter setups
- Clears ridges without reducing their height

The Martin Original Row Cleaner clears the widest path of any tooth wheel row cleaner on the market. The 15" diameter wheels are made left and right in order to shed the residue better. The axles are located to the rear of the adjustable stem in order to insure a simultaneous stretching and cutting of the residue. The teeth on the cleaning wheels actually reach past the edge of the planter gauge wheel rubber. This guarantees a clear path for planter operation even at reduced speeds.
The space between the teeth is wider than any competitors to enable soil to remain in place as residue is raked aside. The teeth intersect in order to reach the entire row middle and to aid in cleaning one another.
Available options include internal deflectors to wipe the teeth clean in certain soil or residue situations. (Order ITD 15" Sets). For extremely loose soil conditions, side treader wheels may be bolted to the other wheels to increase traction and flotation. (Order STW-01).
The WA1517 is also available with 13" hubs and wheels.
