Using Alternate Opener Pattern
NOTE:
Kit #AN281162 is required to change to an alternate opener pattern and can be purchased from your John Deere Dealer.
When experiencing poor seed placement in rows where gauge wheels ride on existing 76.2 cm (30 in.) rows, an alternate opener pattern may be used for 4.6 m (15 ft) and 6.1 m (20 ft) drills set for 19 cm (7.5 in.) row spacing.
To prevent gauge wheels from riding on existing 76.2 cm 30 in. rows, remove highlighted openers shown on Production side of illustrations. Once highlighted openers have been removed, place openers from rear rank on front rank and openers from front rank on rear rank as shown on Alternate Pattern side of illustrations. Leave 47.5 mm (1-7/8 in.) between opener brackets on rockshafts.
