Maquinaria agrícola
Es parte de las características de una sembradora. El tren de siembra está compuesto por dos disco abresurcos y dos ruedas tapadoras en balancín (que regulan la presión). Lo que me genera dudas es "en balancín". Alguien me dijo que eso está relacionado con la estabilidad, ¿puede ser?

covering/plugging wheels on a rocker arm
"compuesto por dos disco abresurcos y dos ruedas tapadoras en balancín"
After opening the furrows ("abresurcos"), and I suppose sowing the seeds, two covering/plugging wheels cover the seeds with earth.

: The description you reference later mentions "seeder uPS tube covering system" which would equate to the "ruedas tapadoras". Also, it's a Belarussian website.

Hi María,
Sorry I don't follow you - what instrument? What doesn't refer to the instrument?

I think the rocker serves to exert the same amount of pressure on the "covering wheels" regardless of small deviations (lumps) in the ground.

I don't think it refers to the instrument. |
A farmer explained to me that it refers to the way in which the wheels are placed, so I expected some adverb, especially because it didn't have the definite article before the noun "balancín", but I understand now, you are right. |
