Positioning Seed Boots

Seed boots are attached at center hole (A) for most planting conditions.

Boot can be attached at top hole (B) to:

  • Compensate for opener wear.
  • Minimize boot wear when deep seeding.
  • Reduce residue build-up between boot and opener.

Boot can be attached to bottom hole (C) when:

  • Shallow seeding at 25 mm (1 in.) or less.
  • Planting in heavy-residue conditions.
  • Worn boot is used with new condition opener.
  • Higher speed planting causes inconsistent seed depth.
