Yetter Fertilizer Coulters Take You a Step Further
Adding a fertilizer knife or injection nozzle to your Yetter coulter
transforms it into a tough and efficient fertilizer placement system
with distinct advantages.
They’re built to last. All
components are heavy duty and include the long-lasting hub found
on all Yetter coulters. Fertilizer knives are hardened
to minimize wear, and the fertilizer tubing on a
standard rear knife, side profile knife, or injection
nozzle is made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel.
They’re fully adjustable. You’ll
get maximum downpressure with minimum soil disturbance as the
narrow-design coulter and adjustable spring work
in tandem to place fertilizer next to the seedbed.
The standard rear knife can be adjusted horizontally
against the blade, preventing residue build-up.
Parallel linkage allows for True Placement™.
The exclusive Yetter parallel linkage system offers the greatest stability in the industry. Two parallel
arms fix the position of the fertilizer knife relative
to the field surface. The linkage flexes when field
contour changes, so the knife stays in the soil. The
spring cushions the assembly to prevent damage
from rocks and other obstructions.

Randy Stabler has turned his 6332 Sunflower land finisher into a multi-functional tool with vertical tillage attachments (VTAs) from Yetter Manufacturing. “The beauty of these attachments is that I only had to remove the standard teeth from the finisher and they bolted right on. The simplicity of the process was wonderful,” he said.
“We were able to take piece of equipment we had and retrofit it rather than spending $30,000 on new equipment.”
Randy uses his finisher and VTAs each spring to chop 1,000 acres of corn stalks. The VTAs deal with the residue but leave enough ground cover for conservation purposes, an important factor in the Chesapeake Bay region. “They also provide disease control in corn-on-corn,” Randy said.
In the fall, Randy puts the VTAs to work again to break residue up just enough to get sufficient seed-to-soil contact for spinning his winter wheat seed. “The VTAs work beautifully—they tear things up just enough but don’t disturb too much ground.”
Randy was also pleased with the Yetter performance guarantee. “I knew if I wasn’t satisfied, I could send them back,” he said. “But these aren’t going back!”
