Iowa | If you are having continious problems of drag chains catching spike wheels I would make sure that drag chain brackets are as low as they can run without dragging trash or soil. Most of the time the brackets are 3-4" off the ground which results in the chain doing a lot of dancing and not holding two hand fulls of soil in front of it. You need to have them low as possible so they do their job. If you are running corn on corn no-till or soybeans into standing cornstalks then I would make a simple chain deflector out of 5/16" round rod 26-28" and put a piece of 2" pipe in a vise and holding both ends of the round rod fold it around pipe giving you a pyramid shaped deflector to weld to the upper rear corners of chain brackets. With this chain deflector chain catching will be non-existant.
