BOURGAULT INTRODUCES
THE WORLD'S FIRST 1:1 DUAL KNIFE OPENER
FOR UNMATCHED DEPTH CONTROL

St. Brieux, SK – January 9, 2026 – 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.

The PLDX is ideal for growers running high nitrogen fertility programs or those seeking tighter separation in wet seasons. With its advanced design and operator-friendly features, the PLDX is more than an incremental improvement—it’s a complete rethink of what a dual knife opener can do.

This new opener will be on display at upcoming farm shows in 2026 so stop by to explore the design and learn why the PLDX is the next step in seeding performance.
