Rising fuel costs eat into producer’s wallets at every turn. By reducing knife draft, horsepower requirements can be considerably reduced. Dutch Industries Ltd. Low DraftTM knives use significantly less power than our conventional knives and there are huge reductions compared to competitors. These knives use AT LEAST one third less power than conventional paired row openers of the same width!!!
Reduced horsepower requirements also translates into reduced wear and tear on valuable equipment. This can lead to increased serviceability, reduced down time and potentially increased trade in value.
Dutch Industries Ltd. Low DraftTM knives offer carbide hardened wear surfaces. Having carbide on the tips and both wings greatly increases the wearability. Consistent “like new” edges increase the uniformity of planting depth, allowing you to get more of your crop in under ideal conditions. The increased life of these knives reduces maintenance, allowing you to continue accurate seeding when time is at a premium.
Dutch Industries Ltd Low Draft knives are currently in a 3.5 inch paired row version, and can be equipped to apply either liquid or dry fertilizer. A 1.5 inch side band version is available for producers choosing the single row planting option.
