The next generation design of the C2 Contour IP Opener System (patent pending) improves opener wear and durability. |
Injected Polymer Opener System
The next generation design of the C2 Contour IP Opener System (patent pending) improves opener wear and durability.
|
Wear Life
32% increase in the tungsten carbide applied to the highest wear regions of the opener.
|
Improved Soil Flow
The low friction properties and narrow profile of the polymer boot minimizes the opener width travelling through the soil. |
Reduced Opener Length
Smaller surface area for soil build-up and reduce force requirements for penetration. |
Reduced Build-Up Inside
The polymer boot reduces build-up of fertilizer and seed treatment dust inside openers in high humidity weather. |
No Hose Clamps
A special hose holder is used with the polymer boots to secure secondary hoses. |
Granular, Liquid, or Gas
Polymer boot is designed to apply all three forms of fertilizer. |
Paired Row Double-Shoot
The patented paired row double-shoot opener places two distinct rows of seeds 4 inches apart with fertilizer placed centrally and 3/4 inches below the seed rows. The 12 inch shank spacing, paired row opener combination provides an 8 inch seed row spacing. Narrow row spacing closes the crop canopy more rapidly setting the stage for improved sunlight capture, water use efficiency and crop competition.. Angled carbide faces on the opener minimizes soil fracturing for excellent seed bed consistency and outstanding seed to fertilizer separation. Available only on 12 inch spacing
|
Side Band Double-Shoot
This opener places a distinct seed row 2 inches to the side of the knife followed by a fertilizer band, which is placed directly behind the knife and ¾ inch below the seedbed. This patented design results in outstanding fertilizer separation and improved seedbed consistency by minimizing soil fracturing. |
Cast Opener System |
Narrow Knife Single-Shoot
This opener places a narrow ½ inch ribbon of seed in each seed row. This opener cuts a smooth narrow channel for seed placement and has the lowest soil disturbance of the openers available on the C2 Contour. This opener has proven to be popular for sticky soils having high clay content. |
Side Band Double-Shoot
This opener places a distinct seed row 2 inches to the side of the knife followed by a fertilizer band, which is placed directly behind the knife and ¾ inch below the seedbed. This patented design results in outstanding fertilizer separation and improved seedbed consistency by minimizing soil fracturing. |
Spread Tip Single-Shoot
This opener places a 3-inch wide ribbon of seed in each seed row. The opener cuts a smooth, level seed bed that results in consistent seed placement designed to minimize soil disturbance. The spread tip opener, with its high seed bed utilization, is an excellent choice for applying low to moderate fertilizer rates with seed. |
Paired Row Double-Shoot
The patented paired row double shoot opener places two distinct rows of seeds 4 inches apart with fertilizer placed centrally and 3/4 inches below the seed rows. The 12 inch shank spacing, paired row opener combination provides an 8 inch seed row spacing. Narrow row spacing closes the crop canopy more rapidly setting the stage for improved sunlight capture, water use efficiency and crop competition.. Angled carbide faces on the opener minimizes soil fracturing for excellent seed bed consistency and outstanding seed to fertilizer separation. Available only on 12 inch spacing |
Mudguards
Mudguards reduce soil build-up on the double-shoot paired row and side band openers, which in turn reduces soil throw and disturbance. |
Air Hose Grommets
Grommets prevent straw and debris from falling into the top of the seed and fertilizer ports on the openers. This option is available for the double shoot paired row and side band openers with regular outlet distribution hose. |
