PRECISION HOE OPENER ASSEMBLY WITH ADJUSTABLE PACKER WHEEL LOCATION

摘要

A precision hoe opener assembly is provided with improved accuracy of seeding as well as improved control over the opener and packer wheel assemblies. The opener assembly features a hydraulically-driven parallel linkage assembly, a ground engaging tool, and an adjustable packer wheel assembly. The design provides improved seeding accuracy by providing a variable distance between the ground engagin g tool and the packer wheel. Specifically, embodiments of the present invention allow f or adjustment of the distance between the ground engaging tool and wheel elements.
