4.8.6 Cornering
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
performance are all compromised.
4.8.7 Furrow Depth and Width
The knives are designed to place fertilizer
0.75 in (19 mm) below and 1.5 in (38 mm) to
the side of the seed.
To adjust the depth of the fertilizer
knife in relation to the seed knife:
1. Loosen hardware, #1 Figure 13.
2. Raise or lower fertilizer knife accordingly.
NOTE:
Figure 14
Factory setting for fertilizer knife is “Y”: 20.875
in (530 mm) from the carbide tip to the corner on the
trip plate as shown in
.
3. Tighten hardware.
