I'm thinking of replacing them with the Bourgault tillage tools liquid/dry sideband openers. They have replaceable tips, and the liquid tube is just run down their existing dry fertilizer side band shoot. So if I decide to switch back to urea fertilizer I don't have to get new openers, I just pull out the liquid tubes and attach dry fertilizer hoses. I like like having that option.

Good luck with your search.

I went with the BTT sideband opener for next year. I used to have the the 3/4 inch bourgault opener with MRBs but decided on their advantage sideband because we can use liquid or dry with the same opener.
