New Yetter Manufacturing Fertilizer Opener a Perfect Fit

Yetter Manufacturing has added one of the most flexible fertilizer openers on the market today to its extensive lineup of fertilizer application tools. The new, 2968 Row Unit Mount In Between Fertilizer Opener solves the placement problem for producers who need to achieve off-the-row placement of starter or nitrogen fertilizer.

The 2968 attachment is uniquely designed to be installed behind the gauge wheel. “The purpose of this location is to fit different models of planters in the same manner while eliminating the possibility of fertilizer build-up on the row unit gauge wheels,” explained Yetter Marketing Manager Derek Allensworth.

The 2968 Row Unit Mount In Between Fertilizer Opener from Yetter achieves consistent fertilizer
placement at all times because it is mounted to the row unit, in direct correlation to seed
placement. Producers can set the units to apply fertilizer from 11⁄2 to 2 inches off the seed row.
The depth is adjustable in 1/4-inch increments up to 1/2" of seed depth.

The 2968 fertilizer opener utilizes a 10-inch disc for easier penetration. The attachment also
helps break up side-wall compaction so the press wheel can more effectively close the seed
trench.

“The 2968 fertilizer opener is designed to mount on either side of the seed trench just behind
the gauge wheels, allowing the use of face-plate mounted, row unit attachments like residue
managers,” added Allensworth.

Mounting this tool requires no drilling of holes for producers with newer-style John Deere and
Kinze planters.

The compact design of the Row Unit Mount In Between Fertilizer Opener means it is easy to add
to a variety of mounted and pull-type planter setups. “Larger fertilizer units often cause growers
frustration because finding room to mount them in front of or behind their planter unit is
difficult. Mounting the 2968 fertilizer opener is a much easier task!”
