Clean and lightly till the seed
zone, without furrowing out.
Place fertilizer cleanly in the
furrow, not in residue.
Close the seed slot completely
across a wide range of
conditions, without
compacting the soil.
Allow seedseed-slot sidewalls to flex
upwards, to help closing the slot
and reduce sidewall compaction.
Level the row and seal air
pockets to allow uniform
emergence.
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.
6
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).

Side Treader Wheels.
Martin WA 1360 Floating Row Cleaners
Clearing Residue
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.
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 C-125 and Fixed Row Cleaners
Martin C-125
We still offer the proven C-125. The C-125 is a
floating row cleaner with 2 x 13” row cleaner
wheels, heavy duty hubs, double tapered
bearings and optional aluminum side treader
wheels.
C-125 was superseded by the WA 1360 but this
model can install on planter types not previously
included within this product guide. If in doubt,
please call us to help you configure the best row
cleaner configuration for your planting system.
WA 1532
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.

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
WA 1320N
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
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).
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.
UMO-100 Features

 5mm thick (0.197") blade
 Adjustable furrow control device

Martin Reduced Inner Diameter Gauge Wheel Tires
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.
16
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 Tire
RID-01 are not for use on John Deere XP series row units.
Martin Reduced Inner Diameter Gauge Wheel Tires
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.
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
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.

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.

arm with optional drop-down
brackets. Drop down brackets
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.
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.
Low Closing Wheel Arm Rear
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.
Negative Closing Action

Level Closing Wheel Arm
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.

Martin Spading Closing Wheels For Early Model White Planters
These closing wheels can be added
to the White 5000 or 6000 series
planters that have single closing
tires. The Martin Spading Closing
Wheels enhance closing of the seed
trench while the smooth wheel
gently tamps the surface.
Moist soil is moved toward the seed
at seeding depth, even in wet, hard
or sod conditions. In wet conditions,
the soil is prevented from forming a
continuous ribbon by the lifting
action of the teeth as they rotate up
out of the soil.

Martin Twisted Drag Chain
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.
By the way, some of our customers still feel
the need for some shallow tillage in the
spring and the spading closing wheels and
drag chain combination do an excellent job
in that situation.
Martin Twisted Drag Chains
are designed to follow a pair
of 13” spading closing wheels,
a pair of 20 point dimple
wheels and a
single 15”
spading closing wheel.

Martin Twisted Drag Chain
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

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.
