INTRODUCTION The 2960 Series II Unit Mounted Conservation Coulter has been designed as a ‘universal’ fitment for several makes of planter units. By using two different arrangements of the same parts, the one boxed unit will fit several planters. One arrangement will fit the John Deere MaxEmerge 2 and plus type planters. Another arrangement of the same part will fit the old style 7000 John Deere units and Kinze units; and the coulter only will fit the 9000 Series New Idea and White 6100 units.
HEAVY DUTY COULTER INSTALLATION NOTE: Mounting hardware included in 2960-122 bolt bag. 1. Mount the universal unit coulter bracket to planter breast plate using three ½” x 1 ½” bolts, washers and locknuts. Use the ¼” thick washer on the lower large slot, do not tighten fully yet. NOTE: The 9/16” dia. round hole is not used on this application, disregard this hole. 2.

Our name Is getting known Just a few years ago, Yetter products were sold primarily to the Midwest only. Then we embarked on a program of expansion and moved into the East, the South, the West and now north into Canada. We’re even getting orders from as far away as Australia and Africa. So, when you buy Yetter products . . .you’re buying that’s recognized. A name that’s known and respected.
