The World’s First 1:1 Dual Knife Opener for Unmatched Depth Control!

Bourgault Industries is proud to announce the launch of the patented PLDX (ParaLink Dual eXtreme™), a groundbreaking advancement in seeding technology and the world’s first 1:1 Dual Knife Opener. Designed to deliver superior depth consistency and agronomic flexibility, PLDX sets a new standard for precision seeding in challenging terrain.

Building on the success of the PLDS (ParaLink Dual Shank™) opener, which revolutionized seed and fertilizer placement  in 2020, PLDX introduces a true 1:1 depth control ratio. This innovation ensures more consistent seed depth across severe contours, washouts, ruts, and rolling ground—conditions where traditional openers often struggle.

Key Advantages of PLDX:

  • Unmatched Depth Control: Maintains precise seed placement even in extreme terrain.
  • Precise Soil Coverage: Achieve precise control of the amount of soil over the seed for optimal emergence and crop
  • performance.
  • Agronomic Flexibility: Adjustable horizontal and vertical knife spacing for seed safety under high-nitrogen programs.
  • Convenient Adjustments: Fine-tune depth at the packer wheel without altering seed-to-fertilizer spacing; optional
    QDA (Quick Depth Adjust) and AccuSet allow rapid changes from the cab.
  • Durability Upgrades: Wider pivots, optimized geometry for stone clearance, and simplified maintenance with only one grease point.
