Kurt Type Seed Drill Springs
Press wheel and rear press wheel springs for Kurt type seed drills — short and long versions, made to original dimensions.
Kurt items in our catalogue
The Kurt type items in our catalogue sit in the seed drill group: the press wheel spring and the short and long versions of the rear press wheel spring. Both versions of the rear spring are shared with Gaspardo type machines and are listed that way in the catalogue.
On a seed drill the job of the press wheel spring is to hold a steady force on the part that closes soil over the seed. When that force drops, closing becomes uneven; the seed is left exposed in places and pressed too deep in others. Uneven emergence is often blamed on the drill setting when the cause is a fatigued spring.
The distinguishing difficulty in this group is the environment. The parts work in constant contact with soil and moisture, and corrosion lowers spring force through loss of cross-section. Galvanised coating is therefore standard in our production.
The short-versus-long distinction is decisive at assembly. Confirming which one you need before ordering prevents surprises; where you cannot take measurements, a photograph of the old part next to a ruler is enough for most items.

How it is made
Every step after coiling happens in our own plant; nothing is outsourced. This shortens lead times and keeps quality responsibility in one pair of hands.
CNC coiling
Formed across the 0.20–40 mm wire range.
Tempering
Stress is relieved; elasticity becomes permanent.
End grinding
Seating faces are flattened on compression springs.
Galvanising
Surface protection against corrosion.
Packing
Domestic and export logistics included.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the short and long Kurt type rear press wheel springs?
They differ in body length and are chosen to suit the installation gap in the mechanism. Both are separate items in our catalogue.
Is the same spring used on Gaspardo type seed drills?
The short and long rear press wheel springs are listed in our catalogue as shared items for Gaspardo and Kurt type machines.
Emergence is uneven — could a spring be the cause?
It could. When the press wheel spring loses force, closing becomes uneven and emergence suffers. Comparing free length against the original is a quick check.
What coating is used on seed drill springs?
Galvanised coating, because of constant contact with soil and moisture; corrosion lowers spring force through loss of cross-section.
Can you make a Kurt type spring that is not in the list?
Yes. We produce from a sample or from dimensions; you can send them through the quote form.
