The axle supports a six-spoked wheel at one end and two four-spoked 'wheels' to the other. The pair of four-spoked wheels have a flattened v-shaped profile used to define and compact furrows. Two pairs of scrapers and positioned to front and rear on each side of the wheels to keep them clean of soil.
