ABSTRACT:
An opener assembly for forming a groove in soil in preparation for placement of substances in the soil broadly comprises an upright, elongated shank having a lower end and a lower mounting edge, a lowermost, groove-forming component, and fastening structure for fastening the component to the lower end of the shank. The component includes an upper mounting surface, and is configured to be seated against the lower mounting edge of the shank. The lower edge of the shank includes a pair of angularly disposed edge portions arranged to receive thrust loads in different directions from the component during groove-forming movement of the component through the soil. One of the edge portions lies at least partially in a normally horizontal plane for preventing upward movement of the component relative to the shank while the other of the edge portions lies at least partially in a normally vertical plane for preventing rearward movement of the component relative to the shank. The fastening structure is configured to permit pivotal and translational movement of the component with respect to the horizontal plane.
