Abstract
An agricultural device with a wear resistant coating comprising a shank portion that may be attached to an agricultural implement. First and second rear wings connect to an intermediate portion that connects to the shank portion. First and second shoulders are formed at the points where the rear wings meet the intermediate portion, and a patch of wear resistant coating is applied at each of the first and second shoulders. A first edge tapers forwardly from the first rear wing to a point, and a second edge tapers forwardly from the second rear wing to the point. Wear resistant coating may also be applied to the first and second edges or the point. Wear resistant coating may be applied to the agricultural device in a pattern that is specific to soil type.
