Since 1991, Martin Industries has designed, manufactured and sold leading agriculture equipment across North America and the world. Known for Martin-Till planter attachments, the company has expanded to include a five-step planting system including our floating, air and frame mounted row cleaners along with closing wheel systems, twisted drag chains, fertilizer openers, weight transfer systems and more in their lineup. Their durable and reliable planter attachments are making it possible for more and more farmers to plant into higher levels of residue & cover crops.
Let’s take a look at some different types of row cleaners and the benefits of each.
A Frame Row Cleaner
Our original “A Frame” style row cleaner is 1360 / 1345 Floating Row Cleaner, they can be either a 60 / 45-degree heavy-duty frame, with a choice of a spike or razor wheel that can be installed intersected or offset and the 60 degree comes with HA44270D heavy-duty greaseable tapered roller bearing hub with a 3 lip seal. The 45 degree heavy duty frame for narrow rows and high speed planting with CHU44C cast hubs and long life, maintenance free, 5205 double row bearing with 6 lip seal. Smart Clean and Cam adjust compatible with both the 1360 & 1345 row cleaners.
ACCR Row Cleaner
Our most popular row cleaner style is the ACCR. The ACCR1360 measures less than 14 inches from the face plate and uses HA44270D Heavy Duty Greaseable Tapered Roller Bearing Hub with a 3 lip seal. The ACCR1360 is to be used on 30 inch spacing.
For narrow row planters, the ACCR1345, measures less than 16 inches from the face plate and uses CHU44C cast hubs and long life, maintenance free, 5205 double row bearing with a 6 lip seal. Both row cleaners offer over 4 inches of vertical travel. This compact design allows for fitting on planters with front frame mounted nitrogen coulters or where full-size row cleaners can’t be used due to planter folding/unfolding issues. Their parallel linkage allows for easy floating action, especially when paired with Martin-Till® Smart Clean™ or Precision Planting® Clean Sweep® cylinders.
