The heart of every 5200 PRO Series Grain Drill is the opener. Uniform emergence and a strong plant stand begin with the precision seeding capabilities of the Krause line of grain drills featuring the exclusive Precision Residue Opener, or PRO Opener. |
|
| The integral leading gauge wheel simulates a "walking tandem" and follows uneven terrain while placing seeds at a consistent depth - especially important for small seeded crops such as alfalfa. The PRO Opener has proven to be 50% more accurate in depth control than a standard parallel link opener. |

 |
| PRO openers feature a ductile iron casting and 13-1/2” double disc blades with a 5/8” staggered leading edge for increased penetration and residue cutting, providing exceptional seeding performance. Spring loaded rotary scrapers are standard equipment with a choice of press wheel options to match your soil and residue conditions to optimize seed emergence. |
|
 |
| PRO Openers offer quick, simple, wrench-less depth adjustment by pulling back on the press wheel adjustment arm and moving to the desired depth. Increments of 1/4” are available ranging from 1/2” to 2-1/2” of seeding depth. |

 The High Residue Precision Opener, or HR PRO Opener, offers the precise seeding depth control of the PRO Opener with the added performance of superior operation in high residue situations.
The large 16” notched coulter blade slices through residue and provides necessary penetration for minimum-till to no-till conditions. The trailing 13-1/2” disc blade manages placement depth for the seed.
HR PRO openers feature a ductile iron casting and blades with a 2-1/2” staggered leading edge for exceptional performance. Spring loaded rotary scrapers are standard equipment to maintain operation in wet conditions. A choice of press wheel options are available to match your planting needs.
HR PRO Openers also offer quick, simple, wrench-less depth adjustment by squeezing the press wheel adjustment arms and moving the press wheel depth cam to the desired depth. Increments of 1/8” are available ranging from 1/2” to 2-1/2” of seeding depth. |
