Unit Mounted Coulter

The unit mounted coulter can be used to assist the TRU-VEE ™ opener to penetrate in tough soil conditions and to cut or displace residue commonly found in reduced tillage conditions.

This penetration depth of the coulter blade is controlled by the opener gauge wheels and weight adjustment.

Planting unit down force springs are recommended with this attachment.

IMPORTANT: The bottom edge of the coulter blade should be approximately 10 mm (3/8 in.) above the bottom edge of the seed openers. (Check this dimension with planter in planting position on any level surface.) This dimension will minimize the force required for penetration and help maintain a constant seed depth. In heavy straw, penetration and cutting action may be improved by running the bottom edge of the coulter blade slightly below the bottom edge of the seed openers.

As blade wears occurs, loosen nut (A) and lower arm to the next notch and tighten nut.

NOTE: Do not operate coulter deeper than the seed opener when soil penetration is the limiting factor.
