The furrow opener is very narrow, has low working resistance, good soil penetration ability, less soil turning during high-speed operation, and the seeds can be covered with soil and fixed in time after furrowing to ensure uniform plant spacing. It can be used in soft sandy land, and can also be directly attached to the back of the rotary tiller to become a rotary tillage and sowing compound operation machine.

Disc type furrow openers are used for both seed drilling as well as straw cutting during no tillage sowing. The main advantage is that double disk drills part the soil more gently, place the seed and then the soil falls back over on top of the seed even at faster speeds.
