        I thought someone said clockwise versus counter clockwise( or visa versa)around the obstacle makes a difference?
        Less seedrow " stacking"?

        Anyone?

          atom jet openers on a single edge on shank doesn't do that at least , but the high product rates make me nervous , all our canola is nh3'd in fall and floated , but have occaionally gone to 280 lbs product shot beside canola that was juiced with only a 3/4" separation, and no problems

            Hell we use blends with 60% ESN and put it all in the seed row, even 100# equivalent down with canola in 3.5in spread tips. There is usually enough moisture to pull this off.

            I can buy a lot of ESN before a $500k drill.

            We have a couple guys who have gone back to broadcasting ahead of the drill to save time.

              our drill wouldn't fetch $20k at RBA, we don't use agrotain our ESN , maybe should , but it is working
              3.5" opener spread is your arse saver , these atom jets are only 1.5" wide total , leaves field quite smooth
              rode quad across a JD conservapack field , lord jesus , talk about rough , but never misses on growing

                  Wore out and broke a lot of sideband atom jets. Not enough separation for dry clay soils.

                  As the fert knife wears on a seed master the fert gets closer to the seed. Something to watch

                    we have about 35000 ac on ours , sent them in last winter for re hard banding to atom jet . they were amazed at the minimal damage . whole bill only $1800, excellent service ! . i think our usually wet soils are a lot more forgiving than most

                      I would assume there are not many rocks in your area....
