Configurations to Suit Your Operation

OPENERS
Get Accurate Placement and Higher Yields
Flex Hoe openers are designed to optimize input placement by providing effective ground penetration and maintaining consistent depth.

The parallel link opener, available on the Flex Hoe 900 features a shorter distance from bar to opener offers precise depth control with less up and down movement. Parallel links maintain opener depth and orientation.
Easy Depth Adjusment
The Quick-Lock™ depth adjuster is positioned at waist height with presets for easy, one-handed, tool-free depth adjustments on each row opener.
