- Quick Pin depth setting with gear and sprocket assist
- Heavier 5/8 inch by 3 1/2 inch side beams
- Spindle and hub packer bearings

Accurate Shallow Seeding
Quick, even emergence delivers a crop that can compete with weeds, makes easy crop staging for spraying, and promotes even maturity across the field. The 'furrow effect' places the seed in the optimum position for access to fertilizer and moisture.

Precise Fertilizer Placement
Fertilizer is placed close enough to the seed to help with 'pop-up', but far enough away to avoid seeding damage.
Precision nutrient placement means being available to the plant all through the growing season and less available to weeds.

Faster Soil Warming
4 inch packer wheels leave a blackened furrow, an ideal environment for seeding establishment.
This furrow means faster soil warming and quicker emergence, even in cool, wet soil.

Options

	Single Sideband Seed Knife The original Seed Hawk single sideband seed knife delivers precise, accurate seed and fertilizer placement. The single sideband opener system is unparalleled for seedling safety and emergence. The dual knife system cuts a separate trench for the seed as well as the fertilizer, protecting the seedling and ensuring the seed is placed on undisturbed soil, resulting in quicker germination and ultimately delivering more even emergence. The original Seed Hawk single sideband setup accurately places fertilizer ¾-inch deeper and 1½ inches to the side of the single seed row.

	Twin Wing™ Seed Knife The Twin Wing™ seed knife allows higher seedbed utilization on wider row spacings, improved trash clearance, more primary heads in cereals and increased crop competition for weeds. The Twin Wing seed knife follows directly behind the fertilizer knife, it cuts a shelf placing seed on undisturbed ground in two rows ¾-inch above and 1½ inches to the sides of the fertilizer band. A separate fertilizer knife runs 12 inches in front of the seed shank.

	Mud Scrapers Hardox steel mud scrapers are optional equipment to aid in seeding in wet or high trash conditions.

	Steel Drop Tube Steel drop tubes are optional equipment for growers who don't want the maintenance on standard mud shedding rubber drop tubes.

	Semi Pneumatic Packer Tires Semi pneumatic packer tires are optional equipment for growers looking for a tire which is virtually puncture proof.
