The NH3 knives may also be used in combination with the included dry-delivery tube for those wanting to apply NH3 and dry fertilizers simultaneously in the same fertilizer trench.Īdditional information for code 1235: the mud-proof combination: dry-fertilizer tube and tip, code 1235, is available for those applying dry fertilizers only. This is recommended for running in sticky, heavy clay-type soils. However, it works well in all soil types to prevent mud from plugging the fertilizer tube opening. This opener is included as base equipment. On the left, the anhydrous high top has a thicker tube wall (1.3-cm outer diameter) than the aqua anhydrous tip, though the inner diameter of both tips are equal. This picture shows the difference between the anhydrous high top and aqua anhydrous tips pictured in the chart above. Thickness increase from 4 to 8 mm (0.16 to 0.3 in.).Įxtra 12.7-mm (1/2-in.) weld added close to heavy wear area.

Wear-resistant, hard-faced welds increased by 75 percent. This form of ammonia is produced by dissolving ammonia gas in water.ĪA69272 hose guide is required if dry fertilizer tube is not installed.Īnhydrous ammonia is compressed into a clear, colorless liquid. Carbide plates are 4-mm (0.16-in.) thick along the point edge and 6-mm (0.24-in.) thick on the tip. What does this mean for you? You can achieve accurate and consistent seed placement with less horsepower, less soil disturbance and more moisture retention - all for a quicker, more even emergence, plus the potential for bigger yields at harvest.Austempered 10B38 boron steel point with hard-faced areas and induction fused carbide inserts to prevent wear. And since the press wheel is on a separate hydraulically charged accumulator, it will immediately bring the seedboot back into place after being tripped. Hydraulics keep the openers engaged, even in rocky and rolling or uneven field conditions.

The 1870 Drill Opener provides excellent depth control in paired-row and single-row settings. When seeding small grains and oil seeds, consistent seed and fertilizer depth are critical for even emergence. “Refined depth control for uniform emergence”
