How long will Flo-Rite® seed firmers last?
The answer depends on soil type. In general, a coarser soil will cause more wear on the replaceable wear plate than a finer soil. A hard compact soil will wear the memory polymer arm quicker than a softer soil. Flo-Rite® seed firmers will last about twice as long as competitor firmers. However, it is recommended that you replace the wear plate every year for the best performance. Replace the firmer memory polymer arm when down pressure applied is no longer optimal.
