ROW CLEANER AND ROW CLOSER ASSEMBLIES FOR STRIP TILL PLANTERS
A row cleaner connected to a strip till machine and adapted to clear mulch and other debris encountered in strip or low till planting. A row cleaner frame assembly includes a pair of row cleaner arms and a pair of clearing wheels configured to have a toe-in alignment. The pair of row cleaner arms share a common plane and are pivotally connected at a pair of pivot points common or close to the rotational axis of a cutting disc. The cutting disc is disposed intermediate the pair of row cleaner arms. The row cleaner arms are configured to maintain the clearing wheels in a close-proximity to the cutting disc to provide stretch and cut row clearing operation. An actuator pivotally adjusts the row cleaner assembly relative to the cutting disc. A pivot limiter restricts pivotal travel of the row cleaner to avoid damage to the actuator. A row closing section is provided and includes a lever adapted to adjust toe and/or camber of a closing wheel.
