The Orthman 1tRIPr® Mole Shank Assembly can be used to place fertilizer at 2 different
depths simultaneously, and depending on your fertilizer setup could be used to apply 2
different rates of fertilizer in the strip at precisely 2 different depths.
The lowest setting is 1” above the deepest part of the mole point. The holes in the side
plate are arranged in 1” increments vertically. This will help you calculate at what depth
you are applying fertilizer. For example: If you have your shank set to till at a depth of 9”,
the fertilizer tubes shown in the image below would be applying fertilizer at depths of 8”
and 4”. The top holes are used to retain the liquid fertilizer tube or tubes. Use the inner-
most hole for retention if you are only utilizing one fertilizer tube, and use the outermost
hole for retention if you are utilizing dual fertilizer tubes.

The example shown is the current factory setting from Orthman Manufacturing, and is
only recommended as a starting point for the user. Your specific soil conditions, fertilizer
placement points and fertilizer amounts will vary due to your own agronomic require-
ments.
The tops of the fertilizer tubes may need to be bent or formed at the top for better fit up to
the end user’s fertilizer hose routing and hose clamps. Use caution when forming fertil-
izer tubes as to not kink the tube.
NOTE: The example shown is just one possible setting. Your specific soil conditions,
fertilizer placement points and fertilizer amounts will vary due to your own agronomic
requirements.
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.
