Allow seed-slot seed slot sidewalls to flex 

upwards, to help closing the slot 

and reduce sidewall compaction.

Consider this. 

Each year, more and more farmers turn to the Martin-Till system to help widen their 

planting window. Being able to return to the field a day or two sooner after each rain 

allows more acres to be planted on time. Having the option of reducing or 

eliminating tillage lets them focus on planting, which creates opportunities for 

expansion without the need for additional costly equipment. 

Increased nitrate levels within streams and rivers will soon bring tighter regulations 

with regards to quantity and timing of nitrogen applications. This brings both 

challenges and opportunities, because research clearly illustrates that banding 

fertilizer close to the seed row can increase early plant health (especially in no-till 

conditions) plus boost the overall recovery % of fertilizer applications. Our UMO-100 

fertilizer opener mounts to the face plate of the planter unit and cleanly positions 

fertilizer consistently alongside the row. The UMO-100 can also be installed within 

our new 1360 floating row cleaners to achieve the benefits of residue clearing and 

fertilizer placement at the same time. 

Martin Industries remains committed to the task of discovering and developing more 

ways to help our customers achieve better stands, yields and profits.

WA 1360 Floating Row Cleaners 

Floating row cleaners allow residue to 

be consistently cleared from the seed 

zone across a wide range of different 

soil types, residue levels and 

topographies. The Image to the left 

illustrates a WA 1360 floating row 

cleaner helping to no-till corn into 

wheat stubble in Kentucky. 

The image to the left illustrates a set 

of WA 1360 floating row cleaners 

mounted on a John Deere 1770 in 

Kansas, no-tilling corn into soybean 

residue. Floating row cleaners excel in 

fields with topographic variations, different 

soil types or areas with wide 

ranging residue levels. 

The image to the left illustrates a WA 

1360 floating row cleaner mounted on 

a White 8000 series planter no-tilling 

corn into grain sorghum residue. A 

set of internal deflectors (scrapers) 

are strongly encouraged for damp 

residue conditions.

WA 1360 Floating Row Cleaners - Options 

STW-04 Side Treader Wheels. 

Aluminum Side Treader wheels are purchased on over 95% of 

WA 1360 floating row cleaners and are designed to prevent the 

row cleaner wheels trenching within soft soils. They also provide 

traction to help keep the row cleaners turning in heavy residue. 

CA Cam Adjust. 

Clearing Residue 

WA 1360 floating row cleaners are designed 

to follow the contours of the soil surface, 

consistently moving residue clear of the 

path of the gauge wheels. This allows the 

gauge wheels to run in the cleared zone to 

promote uniform depth control and facilitate 

quicker soil warming and rapid emergence. 

The image to the left shows a Kentucky 

grower no-tilling corn back into previous 200 

bu/ac corn residue. When no-tilling into Bt 

cornstalks (especially within high yielding 

and/or irrigated environments) we strongly 

suggest adding at least one pair of wheel 

weights (see below). 

Cam adjusters are available for all WA 1360 row cleaners and 

they speed up the process of changing the working depth of the 

row cleaner frames. They are especially beneficial for growers 

who frequently switch from no-till to conventional soils. 

WW-04 Wheel Weights (sold as a pair) 

Wheel weights are strongly recommended when no-tilling into 

heavy residue (such as heavy corn or wheat residue). Each pair 

adds 10lb of weight per row. Two pairs can be added per row 

for extremely heavy residue such as heavy Bt cornstalks.

Martin WA 1532 Fixed Row Cleaners 

The Martin original style row cleaner clears the 

widest path of any tooth wheel row cleaner on 

the market. 

The 15" diameter, 3/8” thick T-1 heat treated 

wheels are made left and right in order to shed 

the residue better. The axles are located to the 

rear of the adjustable stem in order to insure a 

simultaneous stretching and cutting of the 

residue. 

The teeth on the cleaning wheels actually reach 

past the edge of the planter gauge wheel rubber. 

This guarantees a clear path for planter operation 

even at reduced speeds. The space between the 

teeth is wider than any competitor’s to enable soil 

to remain in place as residue is raked aside. The 

teeth intersect in order to reach the entire row 

middle and to aid in cleaning one another. 

GWS-01 Optional Gauge Wheel Shield 

Attaches to the side of the gauge wheel to 

smooth out the flow of residue between unit 

and transport wheels. Two required per row.

Martin WA 1320N Row Cleaners 

The Martin Narrow Row Cleaner Model WA1320N is 

designed to clean residue from the vital seed trench 

area with less total disturbance than regular models. 

Two wheels are used to insure that residue is 

removed from the row center and not just dragged 

across the row which may occur with single wheel 

models. 

This model is recommended for 20" planters that 

have all units on one bar operating in moderate 

residue. Because the cleaning teeth reach their 

maximum depth nearer the row than other models, 

the seed trench is more easily opened and the trench 

walls are more likely to crumble. The planter path will 

retain more moisture where this model is used than 

where the regular width cleaners are operated.

Martin Unit Mounted Fertilizer Openers 

14 

The Martin UMO-100 fertilizer opener mounts 

directly to the planting unit and is compact 

enough to be mounted within our 1360 floating 

row cleaners. 

Because the opener mounts directly to the 

planter unit, the fertilizer is always precisely the 

same distance from the seed, even when 

planting on the contour. The lateral spacing 

from the seed can be 1", 2", or 3", and there 

are also three vertical settings that allow 

fertilizer to be placed 3/4" above, even with, or 

3/4" below seed depth. We like the way it 

consistently places the fertilizer in the ground 

without splattering it on the planter. 

Image above shows the UMO-100 

placing fertilizer in a band alongside 

the row for maximum uptake. 

Many no-till producers are placing 

1/3 to 1/2 of their nitrogen down 

in a band alongside the row at 

planting time. Research shows 

banded placement of the nutrient 

allows for increased uptake, more 

consistent early growth and an 

increased rate of total nitrogen 

recovery (compared to broadcast 

nitrogen applications). 

UMO-100 Features 

Sturdy compact design 

Double tapered bearing hub 

5mm thick (0.197") blade 

Adjustable furrow control device

Martin Reduced Inner Diameter Gauge Wheel Tires 

16 

Left side shows where the 

standard gauge wheel tire 

was used. Notice the 

compacted soil and sidewall. 

Right side shows how the 

RID-01 tire allows the 

sidewall to flex upwards 

and fracture, reducing 

sidewall compaction and 

helping with row closure.

Reduced Inner Diameter Gauge Wheel Tires are an important 

addition to a no-till planting system, especially if the soils are 

wet at planting time. The benefits of reduced inner diameter 

gauge wheel tires can be seen in the images to the left 

where both a standard gauge wheel tire and a reduced inner 

diameter tire are both installed on the same row unit. Notice 

how the standard tire (left) compressed the sidewall, 

increasing the risk of sidewall compaction and reduced yields. 

The reduced inner diameter gauge wheel tire (right) allows 

the sidewall to flex upwards, reducing soil compression within 

the seed zone. 

A second and perhaps more significant benefit of the reduced 

inner diameter gauge wheel tires is their ability to leave the 

soil either side of the row looser and this helps improve the 

closing action of both factory and Martin-Till closing systems. 

RID-01 are not for use on John Deere XP series row units. 

RID - 01 Tire 

Many different reduced inner diameter gauge wheel tires are available on the 

market, however, our research has concluded that the most effective tire is one 

which includes a softer, more flexible compound. Softer compounds enable tires 

to better shed wet soil plus offer greater terrain following ability by absorbing 

more shock through the softer tire. Our tire is the one illustrated at the top of the 

two tires (with a weight of 7.4lb). Other tires on the market have a harder and 

less flexible compound and they can be identified by their increased weight. 




Martin Closing Systems 

18 

Martin Paired 13” Spading Closing Wheels 

Martin Spading Closing wheels move soil toward the seed at planting depth, while 

lifting and fracturing the surface layer to achieve compaction free closing of the 

seed trench in wet, hard, or sod conditions. With soil firmed around the seed 

from each side and the surface layer loosened, crops emerge sooner and planting 

can be done at the proper depth, even in wetter conditions, without fear of 

crushed soil above the seed preventing emergence. 

Our Spading-Closing Wheels do not attempt to close the seed trench by a 

crushing action from the top down. The soil is wedged toward the seed from 

either side at seeding depth by a pair of Martin Row Cleaner wheels. The ends of 

the teeth have full bevels cut on them. The beveled sides of the teeth on each 

wheel are placed toward the row and the narrow edge enters the soil first 

producing a wedging action. As the teeth on the wheels rotate up out of the soil, 

a slight lifting and crumbling occurs in the surface layer. The area on either side 

of the seed and immediately above it is not fractured, and because of the shape 

and spacing of the teeth on these wheels, wet soil does not bind to them.

Spading Wheels - Specific Advantages 

Speeds up warming of the row area 

Closing wheel arm pressure can be greatly reduced 

Seed trench is closed in the most severe conditions 

Seed depth does not have to be raised to insure emergence 

Soil above the seed is loose and slightly mounded allowing quicker emergence 

in a compaction-free environment 

Sidewall compaction is greatly reduced 

In the past we thought the only way to grow no-till crops successfully was to 

wait until the soil was dry enough for the planter’s smooth closing wheels to 

crumble the soil over the seed. Our long-standing struggle with the problem 

prompted us to find a solution that we have since patented. 

Customers around the country are praising it.

are designed for paired 13” 

wheels and they help maintain a 

level closing wheel arm 

assembly in loose soils. See the 

following page for more 

information.

Maximizing The Performance Of A 

Pair Of 13” Spading Closing Wheels. 

Most producers are good at centering their 

closing wheel arm assembly above the 

seed slot, however, its surprising to see 

how many producers don't adjust their 

closing wheel arm to run level when 

planting, especially with a pair of 13” 

spading closing wheels. 

A 13” spading closing wheel is 1” greater 

in diameter than a standard smooth 

closing wheel, this is by design to allow 

the wheels to engage the soil and 

effectively close the seed slot as previously 

discussed. 

When working in looser soils, they 

frequently engage the soil deeper than 

within firmer soils, so to help reduce this 

excessive soil engagement, down pressure 

may need to be reduced (sometimes to a 

minimum setting). 

Greater down pressure settings tend to 

lower the rear of the closing wheel arm 

assembly, which reduces the gathering 

action of the two spading wheels. 

The images to the right illustrate the 

problem. Look closely at how the angle of 

the closing wheel arm assembly influences 

the gathering action of the spading closing 

wheels. 

A closing wheel arm assembly can be 

leveled slightly on a 3000 series Kinze by 

adjusting the eccentric bolts which attach 

the arm to the planter, but John Deere and 

White cannot be adjusted this way.

Following behind the Spading Closing 

Wheels our Twisted Drag Chain helps to 

further crumble and level the soil. This helps 

even out the rate of drying and insures the 

soil does not dry past seed depth. 

This is a low cost, low maintenance way to 

help increase uniform emergence in the drier 

parts of the field and is a must when using 

the spading closing wheels in minimum till.

The Martin Twisted Drag Chain Kit can be seen following a pair of 

13” Spading Closing Wheels on a John Deere 1770 planter. Notice in 

the above photo how the drag chain pulls a handful of soil along 

which helps smooth and fill in any unclosed areas of the seed slot. 

In combination with a pair RID-01 gauge wheel tires, the seed zone 

is left slightly elevated to reduced ponding and crusting.

Martin Spring Spacers For John Deere Drills and Air-Seeders 

Air Seeders 

30 

Key Benefits: 

Martin Spring Spacers are available for John Deere 50 series and 60/90 

series openers installed on No-Till Grain Drills and Air-Seeders. 

These 3/8” spacers are easily installed within the spring assembly and 

increase the opener down pressure by approximately 75 lb. 

Designed to be installed behind air-cart wheels or tractor wheels, where 

additional down pressure is frequently required. 

Can be paired up. When a pair of spring spacers are added in tandem, they 

can provide an additional 150 lb of down force per opener. This 

configuration is especially suitable for heavy air-carts which leave 

compacted and lowered wheel tracks, which present penetration difficulties. 

SS-50 Designed to install within all 

50 series John Deere openers. 

SS-60 Designed to install within all 

60 and 90 series openers.
