Abstract
A press wheel for use on cultivation equipment. The press wheel comprises a base plate configured to be mounted to an axle; a resilient coil member mounted to the base plate and configured to wind about the base plate to define an outer periphery of the press wheel; and at least one brace member mounted to the base plate to span at least partially across the press wheel. The at least one brace member comprises opposing ends configured to be located below the resilient coil member to prevent excessive deflection of the resilient coil member as the press wheel is in use.
Claims11
A press wheel for use on cultivation equipment comprising:
- a base plate configured to be mounted to an axle;
- a resilient coil member mounted to the base plate and configured to wind about the base plate to define an outer periphery of the press wheel;
- and
- at least one brace member removably mounted to the base plate to span at least partially across the press wheel, the at least one brace member having a planar body having a pair of opposing ends, with the opposing ends each being configured to be located below the resilient coil member to prevent excessive deflection of the resilient coil member as the press wheel is in use.
A press wheel according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the opposing ends of the at least one brace member have a width that spans the breadth of the resilient coil member.
