Abstract: A row unit for a seeding implement features a coulter disc, an angularly variable link on which the disc is carried, a scraper body supported on the link, and a wing projecting laterally from an outer side of the scraper body. The scraper body is supported in an adjustable manner selectively repositionable into a plurality of differently pitched orientations, relative to the link, about a reference axis that transversely penetrates the disc plane. By adjusting the pitch angle of the scraper body in a local reference frame of the link, one can better achieve a proper effective working orientation of the wing for each of a plurality of differently angulated link positions, each of which corresponds to a different working depth of the row unit. Though this novel adjustability, winged scrapers previously limited to use on parallel link row units can now be effectively used on other row units.
