A row unit for an agricultural implement, comprising:
- a frame assembly comprising a front gauge wheel mounting location and a rear gauge wheel mounting location, wherein the front gauge wheel mounting location is forward of the rear gauge wheel mounting location, relative to a direction of travel of the row unit;
- and
- a first gauge wheel assembly configured to be mounted to a selected one of the front gauge wheel mounting location and the rear gauge wheel mounting location.
A row unit for an agricultural implement comprising a first gauge wheel mounting location and a second gauge wheel mounting location, wherein the second gauge wheel mounting location is positioned forward of the first gauge wheel mounting location relative to a direction of travel of the row unit.
A row unit for an agricultural implement, comprising:
- a frame assembly, comprising:
- a front gauge wheel mounting location configured to couple a first gauge wheel assembly having a pull-type gauge wheel to the frame assembly;
- and
- a rear gauge wheel mounting location configured to couple a second gauge wheel assembly having a push-type gauge wheel to the frame assembly;
- wherein each gauge wheel is configured to control a planting depth of the row unit.
