Furrow V Closer

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best way to store the FVC's?

Make sure that the planter does not rest on poly Furrow V Closer discs during storage! Furrow V Closer discs can warp!

When should I remove the FVC's?

Check the tail section’s full range of motion for adequate FVC clearance. If you have a field you don’t need to use the FVC on, just remove the bearing, hub, and disc assembly and not the shaft it runs on. This saves time in re-setting the FVC when you need it. More pitch and less depth move the same amount of soil.

How do I adjust the FVC's?

Reduce the down pressure on the press wheels! This helps prevent compaction which allows quicker emergence and at the same time saves press wheel bearings.

What exactly do the Furrow V Closer's do?

The FVC stitches the seed V shut so it doesn’t crack back open on a hot, windy day after planting.
