Adjusting Unit Mounted Fertilizer Opener

Double-Disk unit mounted openers will perform in conventional, reduced and moderate no-till conditions but are not recommended for double-crop conditions. The double disk design limits penetration in tough no-till or double-crop conditions.

NOTE: Openers will be set even with seed depth when assembled at the factory.

1. Opener is at setting of 25 mm (1 in.) below seed depth. To set opener even with seed depth, remove nuts (A) and place cap screws in holes (B).
