Keep Seeds in the Furrow

Exapta’s unique forward bend puts more seeds in the bottom of the furrow.

Close the Gap

Straight, stiff plastic seed flabs (‘tabs’) such as OEM and competitors leave a gap through which seeds can escape.

Ninja: Down, Forward, No Gap

Our Ninja flap has a 20-degree forward bend to help close the gap, thus keeping more seeds in the furrow. The flexibility of the Ninja prevents it from riding up (lifting) on the sidewall like a stiff flap would, which makes the gap bigger on those flaps.

The flap on the seed boot prevents seeds from bouncing out—especially important on-air drills where airflow can carry seeds away. Unlike brittle, straight OEM flaps that leave gaps and break easily, our flexible Ninja flap features a 20° forward bend to seal the gap, guide seeds to the furrow bottom, and avoid sidewall contact. It sheds mud better, improves seed placement, and lasts at least five times longer than competitors.

“The Ninja seed tabs have made a huge difference to our seed placement and accuracy—before, we had a lot of seed near and on top of the soil. Also finding we don’t need to run the discs as deep to achieve optimum seed depth and placement.”

“The Ninjas hardly wore at all. They fit down in the furrow so much better than other flaps on the market. I really appreciate what you guys are doing for the farmer.”
