4.13 DROP TUBE EXTENSION with NH3
The delivery drop tube should extend 0.5 in (13 mm) past the stainless steel clips.
This usually prevents mud from freezing to the fertilizer knife.
IMPORTANT: Seed Hawk assumes no responsibility if seedling damage is caused
by anhydrous ammonia burn. The operator is responsible for checking and setting
the seeder in all field conditions.
4.14 PLACING PHOSPHATE FERTILIZER WITH SEED
IMPORTANT: Seed Hawk does not recommend placing phosphate fertilizer
directly with the seed.
The Seed Hawk Drill double-shoot system is designed to place seed away from
the complete blend of fertilizer. However, if anhydrous ammonia or liquid nitrogen
is applied, there may be a temptation to blend dry or granular fertilizer with the
seed. High levels of phosphate fertilizer placed in close proximity to the seed will
cause seedling damage. Oilseeds and pulse crops are the most sensitive to
phosphate burn.
