These blades offer a longer life, stay-sharp blade with a hub, bearing and rivets that hold up!
30 – 40% more wear life than competing openers.
This blade takes it to the next level with a unique steel and special heat-treat process with the same dimensions as OEM.
Using Peer double-row larger 205 bearings, whereas OEM and other aftermarket are double-row 204 bearings (smaller diameter).
Made with 5/16″ rivets instead of 1/4″.
Here at NxtGen we can source FDN opener blades for most models and brands of planters including Pre-XP, XP, Kinze, White and Case.
The stamped hub is finish-machined, unlike any other, creating an improved fit over all other brands. No more waisting time to find true blades.
The manifacture narrowed the tolerances to 50 thousandths axial runout and 1/16″ radial runout, whereas industry tolerances are 80 thousandths axial runout and 1/8″ radial runout.
The bearing is never loose in the hub, nor too tight (which shortens bearing life).
The order of the finish machining (rivet holes after the centerline is established), along with the powder coat painted blade, ensures everything is within tolerances and the bearing doesn’t fail prematurely from misalignment.
