Parallel Linkage Residue Managers from Yetter Manufacturing: A Smooth Move for Any Operation

Yetter Manufacturing Company first introduced its groundbreaking parallel linkage system on its fertilizer coulters. Now, that same state-of-the-art engineering has been applied to the company’s industry-leading residue managers.

The new parallel linkage system on residue managers from Yetter makes it possible for wheels to closely follow the surface of the soil. Its stability is outstanding—two parallel arms fix the position of the residue management wheels relative to the field surface. The linkage flexes when field contour changes, so the teeth stay in constant contact with the residue.

The Yetter parallel linkage residue managers are spring-loaded, which cushions the assembly to prevent damage from rocks and other obstructions. The springs also ensure that a constant downforce is maintained.

The boxed design of the parallel linkage mounting plates sandwiches each linkage system for extra strength.

The linkage pivot points utilize high-wear bushings for extended life. An adjustable stop permits fine-tuning of the linkage for finite depth control, and a handle is standard equipment to ease depth adjustment.

The residue management wheel component of the design offers all the benefits of traditional Yetter residue managers. The teeth on the wheel are wide at the base and tapered to a broad, slanted point to remove residue with clean strokes. Each wheel is heat treated for additional durability.

The residue manager hub uses four carriage bolts with smooth heads to eliminate residue snagging. Interior and exterior seals protect the double row of heavy-duty, greaseable bearings. The bolt-on hubcap stays in place and keeps dirt out.

The Yetter parallel linkage residue managers attach to the front of the planter row-unit so residue managers and row-unit move in tandem. The flexible design fits Case, Kinze, White 6000, and John Deere planters.
