Utility Coulter
Refer to Figure 3
1. Set the tine applicator to run approximately 1”
- 1 1/2” below the surface of the soil. The tine
can be set to run deeper but will cause exces-
sive wear and increase plugging.
2. Set the tine approximately 1” - 1 1/2” behind
the coulter blade in a vertical or slightly back
swept position.
NOTE: The main objective is to position the tine
and nozzle in the pocket or void created by the soil
as it is leaving the back of the coulter blade while
running. This will allow the nozzle to shoot the fer-
tilizer to the bottom before the soil can fill back in
the trench.
Adjustments for Yetter Coulter

below the surface of the soil. The tine can be
set to run deeper but will cause excessive
wear and increase plugging.
2. Set the tine approximately 1" behind the
coulter blade in a vertical or slightly back
swept position.
NOTE: The main objective is to position the tine
and nozzle in the pocket or void in the soil created
by the coulter blade. This will allow the nozzle to
shoot the fertilizer to the bottom of the furrow be-
fore the soil can fill back in the trench.
