Assembly – Inframe Press Wheels are most widely used where there is a need to put the press wheel right in behind the tyne. They are also a popular method of adding a rear mounted swivel press wheel capability to either a new or an existing bar where a seed boot capability is required in front of the press wheel. The popularity of these units is due to the fact that they give a cost effective means of either getting the press wheel in close behind the tyne without many of the unpleasant side affects normally associated with tyne mounts or parallelograms. They are also popular for sowing small seed where the ability to sow off the press wheel gives much better depth control. The adjustable nature of the wheel and optional seed tube also provides a great deal of flexibility to seed placement and where the pressure can be applied. The single swivel arm design ensures that the unit is capable of clearing most obstacles and that a very even pressure is maintained across the width of the machine. All units come standard configured as a swivel or following unit, if no swivel is desirable then a simple kit is applied to lock out the swivel. This ensures that the unit can be easily reconfigured as a swivel unit at a later date. The units can be configured for low pressure (15kg) or high pressure (40kg), however most units are run at an average pressure of between 20 and 25kg. A choice of 15, 16 or 18 inch wheel sizes is available with a large number of tyre options. A range of other accessories including seed boots are available to augment performance in some marginal conditions.

Tyre – 55mm wide narrow wedge semi-pneumatic tyre. This tyre is a high pressure tyre suited to wet and sticky conditions. Tyre will give good results across a range of soil and climatic conditions. Tyre is good for moisture seeking behind very narrow points in firm soil structures. Tyre has a tendency to leave paddocks rough, which is a necessity of the moisture channelling. Not recommended in rough or very abrasive soils (see solid variants of this tyre) as this is quite a soft tyre. Not recommended for use in sandy soils as too much soil may come back in over the seed.

This version is fitted with the zero maintenance agrihubs.
