Adjustable Dry Fertilizer Boot on
Dry Mole Shank
DANGER
!
Avoid direct exposure to anhydrous ammonia (NH3)
and liquid fertilizer. Failure to follow this information will
result in death or serious injury.
If NH3 or liquid fertilizer is used, it is advisable to
consult documented information regarding safe
handling and application of NH3 or liquid fertilizer. Refer
recognized sources. See “Anhydrous Ammonia (NH3)
and Liquid Fertilizer” on page 2-9.
The Orthman 1tRIPr® II Mole Shank Assembly can be
used to place fertilizer at two different depths
simultaneously, one of those options being dry fertilizer.
The adjustable dry fertilizer boot (8) can be used for
applying dry fertilizer under the ground at various depths,
and can also be used in conjunction with one liquid
fertilizer tube. The adjustable dry fertilizer boot can be
utilized in the lower settings on the shank side plate (5).
NOTE:
Running the adjustable dry fertilizer boot at a
deeper setting may result in premature wear of the
boot.
The setting shown is approximately 5 in (12.7 cm) above
the deepest part of the mole point. See Figure 5-14 on
page 5-19. The holes in the side plate (5) are arranged
vertically in 1 in (2.54 cm) increments. This will help
calculate at what depth the user is applying fertilizer.
NOTE:
For example, if you have the shank set to till at a
depth of 9 in
(22.86 cm)
, the dry fertilizer boot
would be applying the fertilizer at a depth of 4 in
(10.16 cm)
.
The top holes are used to retain the dry fertilizer boot
adjustment (7). This holder may be used in the
orientation shown for applying at deeper settings, and
can be reversed to angle upwards for more clearance
from the narrow, flat part of the boot when running at a
more shallow setting.
NOTE:
The example shown is just one possible setting.
The specific soil conditions, fertilizer placement
points, and fertilizer amounts will vary due to each
user’s agronomic requirements.

Figure 5-14: Adjustable Dry Fertilizer Boot on Mole
Shank (wear plate removed for clarity)
The adjustable dry fertilizer boot is designed to work with
a 1-1/4 in (3.18 cm) inside diameter hose. For more
information, see “Dry Mole Shank Assembly Fertilizer
Tube and Dry Boot Installation” on page 4-15.
NOTE:
If applying two different types of fertilizer, like NH3
through one tube and liquid fertilizer through the
other tube, it is the responsibility of the user to
adequately insulate or add additional space
between the tubes in order that the NH3 does not
freeze the liquid fertilizer tube.
