Knock-On™ Openers
The Knock-On™ system offers maximum versatility and quick-change convenience. From the Knock-On Opener Adapter to the 12-inch sweep, this system can be adjusted to suit three single-shoot seeding styles: narrow row hoe, spread row and spread row sweep seeding.
The Knock-On system is adaptable because you can quickly change from a narrow opener to a wide one. Use a hammer to add or remove sweeps.
Choose sweeps in a range of sizes to match the row width you want. Sweeps are available in 2-, 3-, 4-, 5 ½-, 9-, 11- and 12-inch sizes.
The Knock-On opener adapter lets you use Stealth™ tips with Knock-On convenience. Use a knife tip for narrow row hoe applications, or a spread tip for spread row seeding.
The adjustable spread boot lets you fine-tune the product spread to match your choice of sweeps and packing. A deflector set farther into the product stream, yields a wider product spread.
Spread Row Options
The Knock-On system offers a range of spread row choices.
2- to 3-inch Spread
- Spreads seed and fertilizer in a band behind a narrow 2- to 3-inch sweep.
- Keeps soil disturbance to a minimum.
- Spread pattern covers more soil area so that more fertilizer can be placed with the seed than with narrow openers.
- For use with all press wheels.
3- to 5 ½-inch Spread
- Seed and fertilizer in a moderate band behind a 3- to 5 ½-inch sweep.
- Keeps soil disturbance to a minimum.
- Spread pattern allows more fertilizer to be placed with the seed than with narrow openers.
- For use with 3- to 5-½ inch press wheels.
