Abstract
The present invention relates generally to agricultural devices, and in particular, to a gauge wheel system for use in an agricultural device. In one aspect of the invention there is provided a gauge wheel for use on cultivation equipment comprising a hub member having a central bearing portion for mounting to the cultivation equipment; a peripheral flange portion displaced laterally with respect to the hub member; and a resilient coil member mounted to a surface of the hub member at a proximal end and comprising at least two windings that extend between the hub member and the peripheral flange portion to terminate at a free distal end adjacent the peripheral flange portion; wherein the free distal end of the resilient coil member is constrained to prevent contact of the resilient coil member with the peripheral flange portion.
