The Orthman 1tRIPr® Mole Shank Assembly can also be used to place fertilizer at 2
different depths simultaneously with one of those options being dry fertilizer. The Adjust-
able Dry Fertilizer Boot and be used for applying dry fertilizer under the ground at various
depths, and can also be used in conjunction with one liquid fertilizer tube. The Adjustable
Dry Fertilizer Boot can by utilized in the lower settings on the shank side plate but the
user should be aware that running the Adjustable Dry Fertilizer Boot at deeper setting
may result in premature wear of the boot.
The setting shown is approximately 5” above the deepest part of the mole point. The
holes in the side plate are arranged in 1” increments vertically. This will help you calcu-
late at what depth you are applying fertilizer. For example: If you have your shank set to
till at a depth of 9”, the dry fertilizer boot shown in the image (below/to the right) would be
applying fertilizer at a depth of 4”. The top holes are used to retain the dry fertilizer boot
holder. This holder may be used in the orientation shown for applying at deeper settings,
and can be reversed or to angle upwards for more clearance from the narrow, flat part of
the boot when running at a more shallow setting.

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.
The Adjustable Dry Fertilizer Boot is designed to work with 1 ¼ inside diameter hose.
