Each base container comes with a rain cover for use when a transfer container is not 

installed.

Universal Mounting Cradle:  The universal mounting cradle is designed to fit onto most 

major planter manufacturers’  existing insecticide brackets to hold the base container 

and meter securely on the row frame.  Mounting hardware is included.
If insecticide brackets are not available for your planter model, they can be 

purchased along with your SmartBox

Universal Mounting Cradle

In-furrow tube kits: In-furrow tubes that match your particular planter are included with 

your SmartBox

 System.

Attention should be given to planters using seed firmers to verify that the discharge tube 

does not hit the firmer while the planter is in the down position.
