Product Features
Achieve Optimal Results with a True Vee Opener
The double disk opener blades feature a narrower angle compared to traditional planters, resulting in minimal soil disturbance. With the true Vee disk arrangement, you can expect consistent furrow creation and reduced drifting of the toolbar. Additionally, the opener blades are standard 15" blades, ensuring that replacement parts are easily accessible.
The DuoSeed is designed for narrow row spacing of just 7.5 inches, making it perfect for achieving optimal cover crop coverage and precise fertilizer placement close to existing crops. This innovative tool allows for accurate planting in tight spaces, ensuring that every inch of your field is utilized effectively. With the DuoSeed you can easily enhance crop health and maximize your yields.
Tighter Row Spacing for Denser Application Coverage
Consistent Depth and Improved Trash Flow with Offset Parallel Links
The DuoSeed is equipped with parallel links to maintain consistent depths for seed and fertilizer placement. By staggering both long and short parallel links next to each other, it optimizes the trash flow even in the narrow spacings, reducing downtimes due to plugging.
Reduce Soil Disturbance with Firming Arms
The firming arms help to stabilize the soil around the opener blades, significantly reducing soil blowout in softer conditions. They feature spring-loaded downforce pressure and provide two positions, allowing the firming arm force to be tailored for various soil conditions. Constructed from AR400 material, the firm arms ensure long-lasting durability.
Save Time with Screw Adjust Depth Control
The depth can be easily adjusted by lifting and rotating the handle, enabling tool-free changes from 1 to 3.25 inches with precision. The cap includes a hex head, which can be used with a wrench or impact tool to reduce user fatigue. Machined depth indication dots on the stem provide clear visual depth measurements, ensuring consistent settings across the toolbar without the need for a tape measure.
Compatible with Various Toolbar Tubing Sizes
The DuoSeed mount is designed for mounting on 7 inch tall tubing, and it can also accommodate 4 inch tall tubing with an optional bolt-on bracket, making it suitable for the most common toolbar tube sizes. With a minimum bar height of 27 inches, the possibilities for applying fertilizer or cover crops in established fields are virtually limitless.
Increase Versatility with Row Cleaners
The Duoseed features a built-in front mounting plate for optional accessories, with the most popular choice being the addition of a row cleaner.
