FastTrac vs. "V" closing wheels V-shaped closing wheels pinch dry, crusty topsoil back into the trench. That leaves a compacted sidewall and a hard crust. That result is a poor start for your seeds and stunted harvest. Want more sugarbeets? Talk to your equipment dealer today, visit AgFocus.com or call 309-365-2771. Each FastTrac wheel has its own independent suspension, keeping the wheel where it belongs and eliminating free wheel spin. To fertilize as you plant, just order your FastTrac with optional tubes. FastTrac bolts directly on to John Deere planters. It's simple and durable. The tread leaves a line that makes it easy for emerging plants to poke through crusty soil to reach the sunlight and grow and grow and grow. FastTrac gives seeds the best possible opportunity to reach their full yield potential. In our proven two-stage closing process, we bring the zero-pressure press wheel over the top and seal out all the air pockets, getting the seeds off to a fast, uniform start: 1 FastTrac's double inverted closing disks provide consistent soil replacement and coverage, placing high-moisture soil where it's needed most, directly around the seed. 2 A chevron pattern creates a stress crack relief in crusting soils and channels water to the roots. Your result, with FastTrac, is faster seed germination and earlier, more even emergence. And that leads to bigger, more uniform beets for more tonnage and more consistent sugar content.
