OPERATION
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.
