2023 Dawn Coulter / Trashwheels™ Combinations 1572 Ripple Coulter

Patented design shears away trash and soil even in heavy residue conditions for self-cleaning action that resists plugging and buildup.

The patented Dawn 1572 Coulter Combination Unit cuts residue first, then clears the sized residue out the full width path of the planter units gauge wheels. You won't plug with residue, and as the coulter exits the ground, downward traveling Trashwheels remove any buildup on the blade.

It is important to carefully consider what the most appropriate type of coulters and Trashwheels are for your planter. The image to the left is a line drawing of the different types of coulters we offer. In general, we recommend only as much "tilling" as is absolutely necessary. Most 1572's are equipped with ripple blades. The ripple is the best blade for cleanly cutting residue, without hairpinning.

The 12.75" Trashwheel Row Cleaner has a swept-back tooth. It works very well in a wide variety of tillage conditions. This wheel allows residue and clods to slough off as the teeth exit the ground. It also prevents wrapping when running no-till into wheat stubble. The John Deere 1770NT, 1780, 1790, DeereBauer, White 8000 series planters have limited clearance for planter attachments, you will have to use the 12.75" wheels for those planters. The majority of 1572's are equipped with the 12.75" Trashwheels.
