The G2 fertilizer disc is an 8″ or 9″ single disc opener that is mounted on the press wheel brackets of John Deere, Kinze, White, Great Plains, Monosem, and Yetter planters.

For Case IH planters, use in conjunction with the 4 Link Closer or install our stainless steel single or dual side placement fertilizer tubes.

The G2 liquid disc is designed on a walking beam axle with 3 points of contact in the soil at all times. This patented walking beam design gives stability and balanced pressure to both press wheels in closing the seed V.

The G2 places fertilizer behind the planter. It provides even fertilizer depth in uneven terrains.

The G2 adds only 11 pounds per row added weight. It is easy to mount and easy to walk around the planter. The compact design eliminates having to find room in front or behind the planter for much larger, heavier, and more expensive fertilizer solutions.

The disc can be set to run 1/2″ to 2″ deep in the soil, and the G2 mounting bracket allows it at least 2″ more clearance under the tail section of the planter.

Right and left hand row units are available.

Close Coupled Design

Planter depth is controlled by the gauge wheels on a planter or drill. Most fertilizer attachments are 30″ to 36″ away from the seed drop thus making it hard to control depth of the planter unit in uneven ground. Our G2 fertilizer disc is placed between the gauge wheel and the press wheel. This makes it less than 12″ from the seed drop, keeping the planting unit running at a constant depth.
