Abstract: A depth control system for an agricultural implement includes a single pivot lever. Additionally, the depth control system is mounted to the single pivot lever. Further, the depth control system includes a gauge wheel pivotally coupled to a frame of the agricultural implement. The control system controls a height of the gauge wheel relative to the frame via movement of the single pivot lever while the gauge wheel is coupled to a front pivot gauge wheel assembly. Furthermore, the depth control system is configured to control the height of the gauge wheel relative to the frame via movement of the single pivot lever while the gauge wheel is coupled to a rear pivot gauge wheel assembly.

Abstract: A system for positioning a gauge wheel of an agricultural row unit includes the gauge wheel coupled to a frame of the agricultural row unit via a position assembly. The position assembly is configured to enable the gauge wheel to rotate between an engagement position and a home position. The system also includes a blocking member of the position assembly. Also, the system includes a protrusion integrally formed on the frame of the agricultural row unit. The protrusion is configured to engage the blocking member to block rotation of the position assembly away from the engagement position while in the home position.

Abstract: A gauge wheel for an agricultural implement includes a tire. The tire includes a first circumferential section forming an axially inward portion of the tire. The first circumferential section comprises a lip extending radially outward from the tire and having an axially inward end configured to contact an opener disc. The lip also includes an axially outward end. Also, at least one cutout extends axially between the axially inward end and the axially outward end of the lip. Moreover, the at least one cutout is configured to enable displaced soil to move from the axially inward end to the axially outward end of the lip. The tire also includes a second circumferential section extending from the first circumferential section at the axially outward end of the lip and forming an axially outward portion of the tire.

Abstract: A row unit for an agricultural implement includes a closing disc configured to move soil into a trench. The row unit includes a first arm having a first end coupled to a center portion of a coupling and a second end configured to rotatably couple to a support structure of the row unit. A second arm includes a first end coupled to an outer portion of the coupling and a second end configured to rotatably couple to the support structure. The outer portion of the coupling is rotatable relative to the center portion, and rotation of the outer portion relative to the center portion drives a rotational axis of the closing disc to revolve about a longitudinal axis of the center portion to enable the closing disc to maintain a desired toe angle relative or a desired camber angle as the row unit travels across a field.

Abstract: A row unit for an agricultural implement includes a closing disc configured to move soil into a trench. The closing disc is rotatably coupled to a first portion of a support structure via a first arm to facilitate vertical movement of the closing disc relative to the support structure. The row unit also includes a packer wheel positioned aft of the closing disc and configured to pack soil over the trench. The packer wheel is rotatably coupled to a second portion of the support structure via a second arm. The closing disc and the packer wheel are independently movable relative to one another.
