From what I recall from previous discussions about this in the past is spiked closing wheels are not recommended for shallow seeded crops like beans, grain sorghum, etc. Perhaps if used with one spiked wheel and one rubber wheel, maybe. Spiked is more for corn, as the spikes can and often do go in the ground much deeper than one would plant soys and likely tear them out. Just my two pesos.
