Features

00 SERIES OPENER
00 Series openers provide accurate and consistent seed placement. 00 Openers have 7" of stagger, allowing residue to easily flow through the unit. Inside the opener, the full-length seed tube gently guides the seed all the way to the bottom of the trench while the seed flap ensures the seed stays in place, eliminating the “seed bounce” experienced with competitive drills. The trailing press wheels maintain proper opener depth, close the seed trench, and firm the seed into the soil.

4-SPEED GEARBOX
Changing seed rates is quick and effortless with these permanently lubricated, sealed gearboxes.

CATEGORY I & II HITCH
Offers easy 3-point mounting on various types of tractors.

CENTER-MOUNTED DRIVE WHEEL
Eight settings allow the height of the ground drive wheel to be repositioned as needed.

FLUTED SEED CUPS
With powdered metal flutes, these 1¾" seed cups deliver outstanding accuracy.

HEAVY-DUTY COIL SPRINGS
Offer a range of 90 to 180 lbs. of consistent down pressure on openers.

PRESS WHEEL CHOICES
Choose either 3"x13" center rib, or 2"x13" smooth press wheels.

T-HANDLE OPENER DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
Provides 18 different positions for accurate depth control.

OPTIONAL SEED PLUGS
Redirects seed flow to desired rows; easy to install and remove.

OPTIONAL SEED FIRMER
Keeps the seed in the bottom of the trench as it firms it into the soil.

OPTIONAL SMALL SEEDS BOX ATTACHMENT
Mounts directly to the back of the main seed box. Utilizes a smaller version of the fluted feed cup to accurately meter tiny seeds like alfalfa and wildflowers.

OPTIONAL SEED BOX AGITATOR
Eliminates bridging and provides consistent seed flow to the seed cups.
