hobbyfarmer: What row width are you using for planting? If 36" you could try setting the 246 at 28" for doing the N. If you try application with the seed shoes lifted on that 246, I doubt if you get enough traction on the press wheels to turn the fertilizer metering mechanism. If applying Urea you must drill it in soil, another reason to have planter down. If this were me I'd look for a tool bar and a couple of double disc openers. Maybe you allready have a 3 point row crop cultivator. If so devise a way to mount just the fertilizer hoppers from the planter, and using the double disc openers drill the fertilizer in. You could mount the entire press wheel axle on the back of tool bar or cultivator for driving the fertilizer, plus they would make ideal gauge wheels. Also look around a bit, you may find an entire parts planter that you could build this from. Hoppers on a parts planter will likely be toast, but that part is an easy change, and you don't have rearrange your planter.
