Bourgault adds one-to-one contour to dual knife opener offering

"This is the only one to one opener out there right now. The design allows the opener to better follow field terrain and work through washouts compared to previous models, enabling improved contourability and performance in challenging field conditions."

"The PLDX features adjustable seed depth at the opener through a movable packer wheel, allowing operators to control both seed and fertilizer depth while achieving improved soil coverage over the seed. Paired with Bourgault's quick depth adjust system on the frame, growers can tilt the frame to place fertilizer deeper in the soil profile while maintaining consistent seed depth."

"Bourgault has increased durability by moving to larger one-inch pins and updated bushings, and added more distance between the fertilizer and seed knives to improve residue flow and reduce plugging. The goal is to combine improved functionality with longer wear life in the field."

Bourgault introduces the PLDX (ParaLink Dual Xtreme), a dual shank opener expanding its ParaLink lineup. The PLDX features a unique one-to-one contour ratio that allows the opener to follow field terrain and navigate washouts more effectively than previous models. The design includes an adjustable packer wheel for controlling seed depth at the opener while improving soil coverage. Combined with Bourgault's quick depth adjust system, operators can independently manage fertilizer and seed placement depths. Durability improvements include larger one-inch pins, updated bushings, and increased spacing between fertilizer and seed knives to enhance residue flow and reduce plugging.
