Positioning Seed Boots

Seed Boots are attached at center hole (A) (as shown) for most planting conditions.

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

  • Compensate for disk opener wear.
  • Minimize boot wear when deep seeding.

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 disk opener.
  • Higher speed planting causes inconsistent seed depth.
