Coulter Openers feat. Jim Vannett

In this episode of EQUIPPED Agronomy, Curtis talks with Jim Vannett, U.S. Territory Sales Manager and Operations Leader for Bourgault Industries, to unpack the key differences between Bourgault’s two coulter‑drill opener systems—the PLW™ (ParaLink Walking) and PLR™ (ParaLink Row). From heavy clay to light sandy soils, they explore how opener design influences seed placement, power demand, residue handling, and furrow closure, and where each opener truly performs best.
