Abstract: A press wheel for use on cultivation equipment. The press wheel comprises a base plate configured to be mounted to an axle; a resilient coil member mounted to the base plate and configured to wind about the base plate to define an outer periphery of the press wheel; and at least one brace member mounted to the base plate to span at least partially across the press wheel. The at least one brace member comprises opposing ends configured to be located below the resilient coil member to prevent excessive deflection of the resilient coil member as the press wheel is in use.

Abstract: A closing wheel system for a seeder unit comprising a pair of closing wheels, each closing wheel comprising a coil member having a first end and a second end and a plurality of coil windings extending therebetween. The system comprising a base plate having a first surface and a second surface to which the second end of the coil member may extend around a periphery of the base plate. The system comprising an axle member extending through the base plate and having a free end extending from the base plate for engagement with the support arm, and a pair of wedge washer members mounted on the free end. The wedge washer members may engage with the support arm such that the wedge washers members engage with the support arm such that the axle member is caused to extend downward to orientate the closing wheels with respect to the support arm.
