    Abstract: An agricultural implement includes a toolbar, a plurality of stationary brackets fixed to the toolbar, a plurality of row units, and a plurality of locking mechanisms. Each stationary bracket has at least one lateral member oriented parallel to the toolbar. Each row unit is coupled to a sliding bracket, and each sliding bracket is carried by and configured to slide along the at least one lateral member of a corresponding stationary bracket. Each locking mechanism is configured to fix a position of a corresponding one of the sliding brackets relative to the corresponding stationary bracket. Methods of adjusting a spacing between row units are also disclosed.

    Abstract: In one aspect, a planter row unit is provided an includes a frame, a first opener disc configured to open a seed trench, and a second opener disc configured to open a second trench different than the seed trench. The second opener disc is rotatable relative to the frame and is vertically moveable relative to the frame. In one aspect, an opener assembly is provided and includes a bracket, an opener disc coupled to the bracket and rotatable relative to the bracket and vertically moveable relative to the bracket, and a biasing member coupled to and between the bracket and the opener disc. The biasing member biases the opener disc vertically downward. In one aspect, a planter row unit is provided and includes an applicator support member made of a resilient material to allow movement of the applicator support member and inhibit deformation of the applicator support member.

    Abstract: A closing wheel assembly for a seed row planter unit resides behind the gauge wheel assembly and furrow disks of the planter unit. The closing wheel assembly includes a coupler with a pair of closing wheels mounted thereon. A single pin removably extends through the coupler and through the gauge wheel assembly to detachably mount the closing wheel assembly to the gauge wheel assembly. Different closing wheel assemblies can be quickly mounted on the row unit, depending upon the type of seed being planted. The closing wheels are laterally adjustable via a rotatable threaded bushing so as to be centered behind the furrow disks.
