All About Depth Adjustment Plate & Handle

This newly engineered kit has a handle that now accommodates a thin-walled socket, significantly simplifying installation and removal. Exapta’s innovative design creates a quick and easy process to adjust the spring tension if your handle doesn’t stay in the notch—simply pop off the dust cap, adjust the tension with the socket, and away you go! The Depth Adjustment plate is adjustable in 0.25″ increments and is twice as thick as the OEM version, preventing wear in the depth slots and helping maintain
consistent seeding depth.
