360 WAVE gently surrounds seeds with moist soil by peeling a band of moist soil from the lower half of the seed trench and rolling it over the seed. That reduces the risk of slotting and air pockets in dry, wet and ideal seedbed conditions.
The 360 WAVE mounts to the rear of the planter row-unit shank. This simplifies installation and ensures alignment with the double-disk openers. The 360 WAVE blade swivels to follow the seed trench on curves but includes a stop to limit travel so the blade never places starter in the seed trench. The blade is spring loaded so that it can react to rocks and obstructions without becoming bent or misaligned.
KEY FEATURES
The 360 WAVE creates a “wave” of moist soil that rolls over the seed to simplify the job of the closing wheels.
The 360 WAVE blade pivots – self aligning in the trench. That means it follows the trench on curves. A stop prevents the blade from pivoting over the seed trench on tight left turns.
The spring-loaded 360 WAVE blade moves up and over obstacles to prevent damage, lower down force demands and maintain depth.
The liquid tube positions starter fertilizer 3/4″ to the right of the seed trench and below the seed. The hardened knife edge increases wear life.
