Driftless SW Wisconsin

Thanks for the photo.

I would agree with you that the preferred row cleaner for the second crop into wheat (or similar as you show) is our Screw adjust face plate mounted 14" wheels set in the intersecting (both hubs in the middle holes of three on each side of the stem base) position.

The problem with this is that you do not want to run them like this in worked cornstalks or behind a super coulter!

Ideally the poster could purchase our screw adjust 14" Trashwheels: (1130A- 14" stem assembly and appropriate 1140-1 Mount for the Kinze planter) Run them offset in the spring then screw the stems out of the mounts (with a driver drill and 20 mm socket) and change them to intersecting for double crop....but nit many people are willing to do that.

Or set the above in the offset position for spring and just try them in your double crop as is. You can always change them over if necessary. It may not be neceessary.

I would still NOT use a coulter in your double crop.

Or you could purchase our 1572 coulter combo and remove the coulter and set the TW intersecting for the double crop. Quite a few folks take our coulter off when planting corn into bean stubble then put it back on for beans into corn or corn on corn.

Here is a picture of double crop 15" beans planted into wheat stubble near Pittsburg KS - our standard 14" wheels set intersecting on a Black Machine with JD7200 row units and HD DP springs. And NO coulter!

Hard to keep it generic and get to the heart of the matter. Not intended as a sales pitch.
