Apparatus for injecting manure into the ground

An apparatus for injecting liquid manure into the ground, comprising:

• a transverse beam having a mounting apparatus for connection thereof to a prime mover;
• a plurality of injector units laterally mounted along said transverse beam, each said injector unit having an opener disk mounted for insertion into the ground to form a trench by displacing soil from the formed trench onto the surface of the ground adjacent thereto, a distribution pipe for inserting liquid manure into the open trench, and a containment disk trailing the distribution pipe to displace the soil place onto the surface of the ground back into the open trench to entrap the liquid manure within the trench beneath the surface of the ground;
• and
• each said opener disk being mounted on a machined spindle that extends outwardly from a canted hub for selective positioning in variable slant angles to define a width dimension to the trench being formed thereby, said spindle having a support end mounted in a mounting hub secured to the corresponding said injector unit at a selected angle of repose, said spindle having a distal end on which the corresponding said opener disk is rotatably mounted, said distal end being machined at a bend angle relative to said support end.

• and
• each said discharge pipe terminating in an asymmetrically shaped boot having a longitudinally extending vertical side and a laterally opposing, longitudinally extending slanted side angled downwardly toward said vertical side to define a narrowed discharge opening that directs liquid manure into a laminar flow pattern laterally into the trench opened by the operation of the opener disk.
