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
- Variety of wheel profiles available
- Assist greatly with moving damp straw from rain or heavy dews, allowing less downtime from wet conditions
We trialled the Aricks Wheel in 2007 where we fitted one (row
cleaner) to a John Deere Disc Seeder. The following photo shows very
clearly the effect our residue manager had on the emerging crop.

Minimal soil disturbance and fantastic stubble
clearing makes a perfect environment for sowing. As you can see
pictured left and below, the Aricks wheel is a definite improvement
in stubble removal when compared to the adjacent rows with no row
cleaner fitted.
