Heavy duty Cover Plates & ‘T’ handles

Wear rates on cover plates and T handles on John Deere seeders has become a concern to many farmers in recent years. In response to this we have developed new replacements for the OEM featuring;

- Heavy-duty cover plates and T handles
- Robust straight slotting rather than diagonal slotting
- A simpler heavier system that will withstand the rough conditions better than the OEM.

Robert Stevenson

Kenton, Manitoba, Canada (Aricks row cleaners on both seed ranks of 43-ft JD 1895)

I’ve had them on my 1895 for 7 or 8 years, covering 40,000 – 50,000 acres. They work. I couldn’t imagine not having them. They extend the number of days we can work — we can get on soft fields sooner [when cutting would be a problem]. The sort of days we can pick up are after a light shower that dampens the straw but not the soil. We can also start earlier each morning and go later in the evening…. I’m impressed the condition they are in after so many acre…. No problems in soybean, canola, field pea, faba bean, or flax stubble. No problems in cereals harvested with a stripper head. But in corn stalks, we had to lock them up.

Mark Dugan

(Maroondah farm) Trangie, NSW, Australia, (10” row spacing)

I bought my 40-ft JD 1890 in 2010, and in 2016 I bought Aricks residue managers. The results I had sowing into dry heavy stubble were amazing — I could see the difference the residue managers made immediately — it was a great result. They should come standard on all JD disc machines — it’s a no brainer. I wish I had put them on 7 years ago.

Eddie Hallam

Beulah Vic (Eddie runs 2 x 60ft JD1890’s)

I’ve been using just one of these 20-point closing wheels for 2 years now and I can see the difference it has made to the crop emergence in this row, especially when I had heavy wet stubble. I have now ordered 2 full sets and regret not doing it sooner

Will Van Roessel

Bow Island, AB, Canada; (Aricks row cleaners on both ranks of a 30-ft JD 1850 on 7.5" spacing)

We've had them 4 years, and had only one bearing go out - on the outside end of the drill. Other than that, they've been trouble-free. No plugging in irrigated stubble. Sometimes a little wrapping in hemp stubble, so we watch them close, but have never stopped a wheel…. They move about 70 - 95% of the residue that we'd like them to move. A lot better than nothing.
