2959/2967 Combination Injection System/Residue

The new 2959/2967 combination injection system/residue manager allows farmers to make the most of reduced tillage operations, according to the Yetter Manufacturing Company. It does this by combining residue clearance, planting and fertilizer injection into one operation. Labor, fuel and equipment costs are proportionately smaller.

According to Don Bunnell, Research and Development Specialist for Yetter, the 2967’s precise residue clearance operation allows for consistent seed placement while reducing the hairpinning that can cut into yields. Its wide pivot bearing surfaces deliver strength and durability, he says, and he notes that the arm is constructed of formed square steel tubing with replaceable pivot bushings. The standard Yetter QuikAdjust allows the residue manager to either float on the surface or maintain a specific depth setting via a pin-locking mechanism.

“Each wheel is heat treated for durability,” says Bunnell, “and its tapered, laser-cut fingers move residue efficiently. Double rows of bearings are sealed inside and out, and smooth-headed hub bolts eliminate snagging.”

Pointing to the 2959 injection system part of the combination, Bunnell explains how it further increases efficiency. “Even as the 2967 clears the residue,” he notes, “the injection system’s 16” blade cuts a slot two inches off the row and injects liquid fertilizer, giving crops a faster start. So you’re not only saving time and money, you’re maximizing your yield potential.”

Established in 1930 and based in Colchester, Illinois, Yetter Manufacturing Company is the industry leader in planter attachments that boost productivity and profitability. Yetter makes a variety of coulters, residue managers, precision fertilizer placement products, markers and bulk seed handling devices.

The 2959/2967 combination injection system/residue manager by Yetter allows you to do three jobs in one pass: residue clearance, planting and fertilizer injection. As the durable 2967 residue manager clears the row, the 2959 injection system cuts a slot 2” off to the side and injects liquid fertilizer. The one-pass operation cuts costs on labor, fuel and equipment, while the fertilization gets crops off to a better start, increasing potential yields.
