“ We have used the gauge wheel arms on our planters for years. They are, without a doubt, the best investment. The time savings is great! Our gauge wheels move like they should all day long. Before we were told about the gauge wheel arms, we were greasing every day, if not twice a day, in some different settings. We are now able to plant 80 acres more per day between our two planters.”— Dawson Welch, Coyote Machining Customer
