Seed Placement: The seed is placed 3/4” (19mm) above and to the side of the fertilizer row, the tip’s wing seals the fertilizer trench. GP & LP openers deliver the liquid phos on top of the seed.
Fertilizer Placement: Fertilizer is placed in the center 3/4” (19mm) below the seedbed. In less than ideal conditions, mixing between seed and fertilizer may occur. For more information please refer to precautions & risk factors.
Tip Options: Replaceable cast chrome tip (614-TIP-2711 & 614-TIP-2712) with extra-long carbide inserts on the nose of the tip for excellent penetration and wear resistance. Top face of the wing is covered with two carbide inserts and heel of fertilizer trench has a u-shaped carbide wafer, providing a longer wear life. Assemblies include the tip.
Packer Recommendations: 4-1/2” (114mm) Semi-pneumatic packer recommended. V-Packer is not recommended with these openers.
Overview: Hard facing is placed on critical wear points to ensure a long-lasting holder and proper seed placement. The streamlined holder design reduces plugging and allows for better trash clearance.
Notes: Installation bolts sold separately. Use 3/8″ x 2-1/4″ Grade 8 carriage bolts.
All wings on Side Band openers must be pointing inward to the center of the seeding unit to prevent plugging when turning. Customers should order half left and half right wing openers.
When installing use bolt holes pictured below.
