Abstract
The object of the invention is a groove depth-leveling wheel used in planting groups to ensure that all the seeds stand at the same depth. The wheel has blades on its outer side to prevent reeds, stubble, straws etc. from sticking between this wheel and the planting disc and, therefore, affecting planting efficiency. Such elements may block the wheel or the planting disc itself and consequently, prevent planting. In addition, its design features minimize downtime for not only maintenance and greasing of the bearings but also for tyre and bearing replacement, due to wear, as it is not necessary to remove the wheel from its mounting arm.

A detachable depth gauge leveling wheel with stubble sweeper applicable in planting units mounted to the structure of an agricultural seeder machine and used to define the depth of the furrow opened by the planting disc to achieve uniform planting, with one or two wheels per unit, the detachable depth gauge leveling wheel with stubble sweeper comprising:
- a rim with multiple curved blades, projecting from one of its sides towards the outer vertical plane of the wheel and extending between the center of the wheel and its periphery and spaced equidistant from each other, leaving multiple curved, open and equal spaces and linked through multiple screws or bolts to a quick-change ring that links the rim with a tire and its eyelets and different lateral profiles, since on one side it rests on the rim and, on the other, it is related to the ring of a quick-change ring, which in turn has a bushing that relates the wheel to the shaft of the mounting arm, with multiple lubrication channels on its inner side while on its outer side it has a slightly conical shape, which can be rotated 90° counterclockwise, showing wedges or ramps on one of its ends that interact with similar wedges or ramps on the rim and, at the other end, it has four grooves that can be related to the four upper ribs engraved on the cap, which, in turn, has multiple lateral ribs and one of them is linked to the bolt mounted in the housing.
