Press Wheel Bearing. The press wheel firms the soil back onto the seed after it's sown, building the seed-to-soil contact that drives good germination and even emergence.

How to check for wear
Grab the press wheel with one hand and steady the arm with the other, checking for any left-right play or a knocking noise — either means the bearing is starting to collapse and should be replaced promptly. Spin the wheel and listen: a dry rumble means the bearing internals are worn, and a wheel that spins too freely with no resistance points the same way. Check the tyre for wear, warping or brittleness, and make sure no dirt is getting between rim and tyre and walking the tyre off the rim. Worn bearings or tyres give inconsistent firming and poor seed-to-soil contact.
