The Stealth™ opener, manufactured with tough Austempered Ductile Iron (ADI), is a modular system that adds versatility to your row seeding. A choice of tips or attachments can be mounted on the main body for a customized opener system. Stealth openers work with narrow row hoe and spread row seeding styles.

Replaceable tips let you choose the right opener for your application and help you manage wear. Knife tips are used for both single- and double-shoot and include the heavy-duty tip, the gumbo tip, and tips with carbide points. Spread tips are for single-shoot only.

Three components make up the Stealth opener system. The main body mounts on the shank. A replaceable tip is secured to the main body with a roll pin. If you decide to double-shoot, attachments bolt on to the rear of the main body.

The optional liquid fertilizer or NH₃ kit lets you use the Stealth opener to deep band fertilizer.
