4.7.6 Cornering
4.8.1 Standard Knife Configuration
4.7.5 Knife Lateral Separation
Ideally, the most effective seeding, fertilizer banding and soil packing occurs
when the implement is pulled in a straight line. Some field conditions will not
allow all of the seeding to occur in a straight line. It is important to remember
that as the packer tire is following a curved path, it will tend to ride up on one
side of the furrow. Seed and fertilizer placement, as well as, packing perfor-
mance are all compromised.
Confirm knife lateral separation,
1 in. (25.4mm) between blades, espe-
cially after replacing knives, to avoid
seed damage when applying high rates
of fertilizer.
