Why Discs + Press Wheels Make the Best No-Till Cropping System
- Minimal Soil Disturbance – Discs cut through residue cleanly, leaving soil structure intact.
- Improved Seed Placement – Discs create a consistent furrow, ensuring uniform depth.
- Enhanced Germination – Press wheels provide firm seed-to-soil contact, preventing drying out.
- Moisture Retention – No excessive soil disturbance means the soil holds moisture better.
- Better Crop Establishment – Uniform emergence leads to higher yields.
OUR NO TILL CROPPING GUARANTEE:
Your crops will ‘jump' out of the ground due to better seed placement and germination, leading to higher yields and more profit.

Retrofit RYAN NT Double Discs for exceptional Zero-Till Farming results
If you’re considering upgrading your tine machine, the RYAN NT (formerly RFM NT) Retrofit Double Discs are the perfect option.
Our discs are an alternative to buying a new machine, saving heaps of money in the process! And the good news, RYAN NT Double Discs work on just about any machine manufactured in the last 30 years!
Discs are now an integral and preferred part of the best cropping programs. These, coupled with changing cultivation practices, no-till equipment, heavier bars, interrow sowing and reduced livestock trampling all contribute to higher productivity and profitability.
The system includes disc coulters that make light work of stubble and trash in all soil types. This means you can plant early in dry conditions without making a mess; and you won’t get blocked up in the wet.
And farmers find they can plant up to 30% faster than average and are spending a lot less on fuel.
Another big advantage with the RYAN NT Double Disc opener system is soil moisture retention, far more than using a standard tyne point system.
You get superior penetration & cutting with our double discs
Standard disc systems often put the disc coulters side by side causing them to act as a wedge, making it harder to penetrate the soil.
But the RYAN NT Double disc coulters are offset, allowing extra penetration, easier cutting and no hairpinning. This unique system works brilliantly because the lead or driving disc is on the ground, an inch forward of the plain coulter disc.
The plain and serrated coulters mean you get good tilth with enough soil through for chemical incorporation.
The system includes a front seeding boot design, so you avoid blocking and get perfect seed or fertiliser placement directly at the bottom of the trench; also, the spring-loaded scrapers will help alleviate blocking…and the system can double chute.

Change fast from Tynes to Retrofit Double Discs... and back
Quickly turn your conventional tyne planter into a highly versatile disc planter with the revolutionary RYAN NT multipurpose disc system.
Then just as easily convert it back if conditions require it.
The RYAN NT Retrofit Double Disc system easily attaches to existing tine trip assemblies.
It’s as easy as removing the current shank from the tine trip assembly and replacing it with our matching shank…a simple process involving a couple of bolts or a pin.
The bottom line: You don’t need to buy a new machine, rather convert your existing planting tyne trip for dual purpose with the RYAN NT Double Discs.
For even better results, invest in RYAN NT Press Wheels that work in tandem with the revolutionary Double Discs.
Revolutionary Coil Press Wheels
Imagine the benefits for your operation using self-cleaning & self-closing seeder press wheels! You can use the RYAN NT Spring Coil Press Wheels in all broadacre soil types and in all conditions..
Here's how to overcome your biggest seeding challenge - getting the best possible germination...
The RYAN NT Press Wheels use a unique, squeezing action as the coil self-cleans sticky soil and trash, won’t pick up seed and closes off the furrows better than any other wheel.
And there's more…
1. The coils press air out from the soil around the seed, producing great seed-soil contact…allowing seeds to germinate so much easier than other systems.
2. The coil press wheels squeeze naturally, reducing pressure directly on the surface… eliminating crusting problems and the formation of air pockets.
3. The coil press wheels work in any ground – heavy stubble, trash, sticky, sandy and light soils, without picking up seed from the furrow.
4. The coils are so robust they can handle stony conditions.
5. Excellent loose tilth is created above the seed and a hard press, with potential for much better yields.
Your productivity and profitability will benefit greatly using our Coil Press Wheels
First, they can significantly increase emergence and improve seedling durability.
Second, they will improve seed to soil contact.
Third, they help maximise moisture retention in the soil.
What this means for you…
👉 Better soil compaction restricts insect movement that can seriously damage seed & seedlings.
👉 Improved emergence depth with decreased distance between seed and soil surface.
👉 Uniform soil coverage across the width of your planting machine.
👉 Closes furrows preventing surface light penetration, reducing the risk of premature sub-surface leaf emergence.
👉 Concentrates rain in the seed furrow, promoting faster secondary root development.
Options to suit your machine
The Ryan NT Coil Press Wheels are 16″ in diameter with 2 or 3 coil options to match the closing action needed on your machine.
You have 3 options…
1. A standalone retrofit coil wheel that fits onto your current assembly.
2. A rear mount press wheel assembly which can fit onto a lazy bar.
3. A tyne mounted model, which has a seeding boot option.
Beats rubber systems hands down
The Spring Coil Press Wheel eliminates the hassles of conventional rubber systems, and also saves you time and money! How? By eliminating the usual problem of having to replace splitting or deteriorating rubber wheels!
RYAN NT is a leader in developing and manufacturing press wheels and no-till farming equipment. We offer coil wheels, including gauge wheels and closing wheels, for precision planting and seeding. You can achieve even greater success using RYAN NT Press Wheels with the RYAN NT Double Discs.
Seeder Bar Tynes for the roughest and toughest planting conditions
You can rely with RYAN NT Tynes on your air seeder bar because, after helping farmers plant crops for more than four decades we know, and can promise, they WILL do the job, no matter how harsh the planting conditions you face.
Having proudly invested so much into the industry, RYAN NT (formerly RFM NT) is now Australia’s leading No-Till seeder bar tine manufacturer and supplier. Not only here, but around the world, farmers are recognizing the RYAN NT Tyne as a ‘must-have’ air seeder bar tine for direct drill farming.
You benefit from these special RYAN Seeder Bar Tyne design features
Whatever your soil type or planting conditions, the RYAN NT agricultural seeder bar tyne will do the job brilliantly because of our industry-leading design features…
1. A HEAVY-DUTY hardened cast steel frame on our cultivator tine assembly for strength & versatility.
2. A GREASEABLE PIVOT point system means less time needed on maintenance.
3. A SPRING RELEASE system that is way more efficient than a spring curly tyne.
4. A MULTI-PURPOSE mount that fits most common RHS and diamond frames.
5. A TAPERED BOLT & nut means you avoid wear-and-tear in the mount housing.
6. The PIVOTING HEADSTOCK has a rubber dampener & holes so you can adjust the height.
👉 The tyne trip assembly easily fits the RYAN NT self-cleaning tyne shank or RYAN NT Double Disc System. This also makes it easier to replace worn tynes.
Further improve the efficiency and productivity of your no-till farm machinery operation:
1. Better seed to soil contact is guaranteed using the RYAN Tynes in conjunction with our contour-following RYAN NT Coil Press Wheel system
2. Fitting the contour-following coil press wheel with our seed boot onto your seeder bar, which is independent from the tyne, allows for greater depth control when either single or double chuting.
3. The combination of the self-cleaning tyne and coil press wheel consistently delivers accurate seed placement in dry or sticky conditions.

– Phil Giancono of Donnybrook (WA)
Commonly asked questions about our No Till Cropping System
Yes, they are greaseable Timkin tapered bearing. There are two bearings to each hub with a rubber seal on the inside. The bearings have the grease nipple positioned between them.
Disc hubs come pre-greased. We recommend giving them their first service in the first 100-2oo hours or after the first rain after the first 100 hours. It's as simple as giving them a quick nip up (and making sure not to over-grease).
Then once a year after that.
On average, you use 50% less horsepower than you would with a tyne machine. However, many factors influence this requirement, such as soil type, machine configuration, application and what you are trying to achieve.
Deep banding tubes are an option. We have achieved separation with them. It all comes down to soil types and speed.
Very minimal. We recommend that you check disc bearing in the first 100 hours and then grease every 100 hours from thereon.
Yes, they can. It comes down to soil types, speed, and conditions.
The lead disc at the front is always the notched disc.
We regularly plant into hard pastures. The results depend on soil types, speed and conditions.
We recommended starting with 3 spaces on each side. We recommend aiming for a 3-6mm gap at the leading edge of the discs for loam to heavy soils and no more than 1mm for sandy soils. The loam to heavy soils will close the gap between the disc coulters.
Yes, you can. We also stock adapters to suit other tyne models.
Yes, they can. It depends on underframe clearance.
Yes, we do. Our mounted assembly fits all common frame sizes.
