Abstract
A row unit of a seeder includes a frame configured to be coupled to a toolbar of the seeder. The row unit also includes a single opener pivotally or rotatably coupled to the frame. The row unit further includes a row cleaner assembly that has a row cleaner arm pivotally coupled to the frame or to the single opener and a row cleaner blade rotatably coupled to the row cleaner arm. The row cleaner arm positions a respective rotational axis of the row cleaner blade forward of the single opener relative to a direction of travel of the row unit. A row cleaner actuator is coupled to the row cleaner arm, and the row cleaner actuator is configured to control a first downforce applied by the row cleaner blade to soil.
