Kinze Starter Fertilizer Placement Tube Part #TT-301 (Patented)

This simple yet effective design is totally protected by the disc blades, so rocks should not be an issue. The 1/8" wall 3/8" stainless tube will easily outlast the disc scraper. This provides a 1/4" inside opening that will accept a 1/4" fertilizer line inside or 3/8" hose outside with a hose clamp for a leak free connection. The optional seed bounce flap closes the opening between the disc openers assuring correct seed placement by eliminating seed bounce and ricochet.

Key Benefits

• Starter Fertilizer application deeper in the soil profile
• Instant root uptake for early plant health
• Maintenance free
