Seedmaster issues

[Robertbarlage]

So the other thread got me thinking about opening rounds or going around sloughs, we always go clockwise so the openers don't over lap because of the three row set up it just does on our 60 foot. But going clockwise around anything the right side of drill seeds perfect because the fertilizer knife gets further away from the seed. Now on the left side the seed knife goes through the fertilizer row because the fertizer knife is switched to left side of seed opener. Has anyone tried changing all the fertilizer knive setup to the other side of opener on left side of machine? Do the other machines manufactures do the same? As in left and rights? It's supposed to be for skewing why they do that but **** it's so shity anyway would it be okay to make them all the same across machine? Ya I know I should buy a bourgault!

We have some fertilizer burn we think because of this. Or is machine maybe coming out of ground on left side?

If you don’t like going clockwise you could buy it’s twin and go counter clockwise.

Having left and right setup for seed shank was an option. If you have lots of curves and circles I don't think I'd want it.

If it was kinda dry for a while after seeding fertilizer burn can happen especially on hills. Anhydrous? Might look at a stabilizer

A lot of seed establishment issues and slow growth can be partly attributed to Fertilizer. Especially with higher rates most guys use . Seen it lots over the past few years . Especially under drier conditions.
Machinery companies and agronomists won’t admit it much though

Over the years it seems wheat has been the most sensitive.
Although canola is thought to be sensitive to high fert it seems to come up just fine

The liquid wings on my 3320, no i didn't drink the mrb koolaid, are half left, half right, to prevent seed in fert, not saying it's perfect but does help for plugging compared to 5710 where everything was same side. Depends on how tight you are turning.

Yes NH3 . was dry to long. This year was straight up and down but most years constant turning.

You want to see interesting stuff on fert placement? Follow this guy, he's a great salesman of his consulting, but he's seen enough to know. I don't use him but the pics he posts are startling

If I could only get a decent rain.......
