Frame Mounted Single-Disk Fertilizer Openers

IMPORTANT: Avoid crop injury. Inspect fertilizer opener depth and offset from seed furrow before operation.

IMPORTANT: Fertilizer openers MUST NOT be locked in a raised position on 1770NT planters. Frame and fertilizer opener damage occurs if machine is folded with the openers locked in a raised position.

Frame mounted single-disk fertilizer openers perform in conventional, reduced, no-till, and double crop conditions. They are designed specifically for band application of liquid fertilizer. The single blade and gauge wheel configuration minimizes disturbance of the seed zone in these conditions and helps preserve seedbed moisture. The gauge wheel helps to maintain a consistent fertilizer depth.

Operating the opener in soils containing many large rocks is not recommended. The upper limit stop on an opener is incapable of supporting the machine frame weight as the opener rides up over large rocks.
