Adjusting Unit Mounted Fertilizer Opener

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

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

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

2. Opener can be installed on either side of mounting tube.
