Abstract

Agricultural implements, such as planting and seeding implements, often include depth setting and maintaining components. This may include gauge wheels, which are set to attempt to keep furrow openers situated to open a furrow of desired depth for placement of the seeds through a field. The gauge wheels can include spokes with serrations added along the spokes. The serrated spokes will interact with trash in the field and the serrated spokes will break down the trash as the gauge wheel rotate, thus reducing the likelihood of buildup and plugging of the gauge wheels of the implement. This will allow an operator to minimize stoppage due to trash buildup and plugging in the row units to aid in finishing planting within the desired timeframe.
