The renowned business offers the Germinator Steel closing wheel as a field-tested solution.
-- Farm Shop Mfg introduces the Germinator Steel closing wheel as a compatible solution for Kinze planter owners seeking consistent closing system performance. Designed with a standard 1.25-inch width and a 13-inch diameter, this wheel is built to match the specifications of many popular planter brands, including Kinze.
"Our goal was to provide a closing wheel that works effectively across a range of soil conditions without requiring constant maintenance or replacement," stated the spokesperson.
The Germinator Steel is a Farm Shop product, offered with or without bearings, and features a polymer coating for added resistance in the field. It fits not only Kinze but also John Deere, Case IH, White, Monosem, and several other planter systems, allowing for a broad application across different equipment types. The wheel's notched design facilitates seed trench closure and ensures effective contact between seeds and soil.
Tested over five years in various field conditions, including strip-till and no-till environments, the Germinator Steel has been evaluated for its performance in minimizing mud buildup and reducing plugging. Farm Shop Mfg notes that the design is intended to crumble trench sidewalls while maintaining sufficient pressure to assist in closing, thereby supporting the seed environment without trapping air pockets.
Growers using the Germinator Steel with Kinze planters are advised to install one Germinator Steel and one Germinator Cast wheel per row. This combination is intended to balance field durability and seed trench management under different soil and residue conditions.
"The Germinator Steel was developed with real field experience in mind, aiming to meet the practical needs of growers using Kinze and other major planter brands," added the spokesperson.
Farm Shop Mfg aims to continue developing equipment solutions that address common challenges in modern planting practices. Future efforts will focus on expanding compatibility and refining performance across a broader range of field conditions.
