BPR Engineering is now manufacturing Residue Managers to suit John Deere disc seeders and box drills.

  • The "Aricks Wheel" is an enormous time saver and basically no-till!
  • Eliminating steps such as burning off, working-up
  • Minimal soil disturbance resulting in no new weed growth, less chemical application
  • More consistent and even seed placement
  • Greatly reduces the risk of 'hair pinning'
  • Easy to install to John Deere 60/90 series
  • Currently fit the John Deere 1590/1890 &1895 Series openers, can be adapted to suit other makes of disc openers
  • Very beneficial in the correct placement of small seed i.e. Canola, Clover, Lucerne and Fertilizers
  • Dramatic increase in the percentage of germination, therefore increasing soil carbon levels
  • Assist greatly with moving damp straw from rain or heavy dews, allowing less downtime from wet conditions
