The present invention involves a seed firmer with a pusher attachment that extends the life of the seed firmer and brackets for mounting the same to a planter. The disclosed invention additionally involves an adjustment mechanism for seed or grain drill planters which allows for the adjustment of the camber and/or toe of individual coulters on the planter.
An adjustment mechanism for seed or grain drill planters which allows for the adjustment of the camber and/or toe of individual coulters on the planter.
The present invention involves a seed firmer with a pusher attachment that extends the life of the seed firmer and improved brackets for mounting the same to a planter. The improved brackets allow for different mechanisms of mounting seed firmers to different locations on a planter. The brackets have portions for attaching and mounting to the planter, and a housing for accepting and securing the firmers. The brackets allow for better positioning of firmers on a planter, ease of mounting and/or replacement of firmers, and improved firmer functionality.

MOUNTING BRACKET AND DEVICE FOR ADJUSTING THE ANGLE OF ATTACHMENT OF DISK COLTERS
The present invention involves a seed firmer with a pusher attachment that extends the life of the seed firmer and brackets for mounting the same to a planter. The disclosed invention additionally involves an adjustment mechanism for seed or grain drill planters which allows for the adjustment of the camber and/or toe of individual coulters on the planter.

The present invention involves a manipulator tool for use with a seed firmer having an extender attachment capable of engagement with a groove of the seed firmer. The tool facilitates the engagement and removal of the extender attachment by rotation of a rod in a bracket, which may be manual or with a power tool. The manipulator tool may be used on seed firmers which have been removed from a planting machine or are still attached to a planting machine.

The present invention involves a seed firmer with a pusher attachment that extends the life of the seed firmer. The seed firmer construction provides a replaceable tip or end for extending the life of the firmer, generally having two components that degrade with use, the flexible arm and the embedding pusher. The flexible arm generally lasts much longer than the embedding pusher portion because the pusher wears against the ground and eventually wears away. Embodiments of the invention include an embedding pusher portion that has a stop and a guide for accepting a replaceable extender. Other embodiments include an embeddingpusher portion that engages the rest of the firmer arm. Thus, the portion of the firmer that wears down may be easily replaced which extends the life of the firmer, multiple times over the useful life of the flexible ann.
