Abstract
An agricultural material applicator is disclosed herein. The applicator uses a coulter, a knife, and a dual sealer assembly to provide agricultural material such as liquid manure to the soil. Weight of the agricultural material applicator is supported by the sealer assembly to eliminate the need for additional gauge wheels. The sealer assembly is two sealers provided with independent suspension to allow one sealer to move out of the way of an obstruction, while the other sealer continues to operate.
