- Combo units from Yetter do two jobs at once
An Illinois corn and popcorn grower used 2962 Row Unit Mounted Double Disc Fertilizer Openers and added optional Screw Adjust Floating Residue Managers to clear residue and place fertilizer off the side of the row. When I got there, it was raining a little, but the ground was just about perfect for planting. The grower had just finished up with a corn field, so I helped clean out his boxes and fill them with popcorn seed.
The 2962 design allows for both depth and distance adjustment . . . made it easy for the grower to get his desired placement. The units were mounted on his 16-row, 1770NT John Deere planter and the fertilizer coulters were set to place the product 2 inches deep and 2 inches off the row.
He was very pleased with the units and how they cleared the residue.
