Slideshow: NH3 Application Equipment Offers Productivity, Flexibility

The Case IH Nutri-Placer 930 and 940 applicators are designed to maximize productivity, uptime and agronomics. Offered in working widths from 27½ to 65 feet, the 900 series Nutri-Placers feature robust, flexible-frame assemblies. Pivot points feature non-greaseable poly bushings for long life and less maintenance. The constant level rear hitch swings and extends on poly-wear pads to allow the hitch to easily move side-to-side and front-to-back when hooking up to nurse tanks. Learn more >>

This 23-row unit provides good clearance around the wheels and frame for unimpeded operation/low soil disturbance, and features a five-section flex-fold frame that allows the implement to hug field contours. The 2510H has a working width of 57.5 feet and a working speed of up to 10 mph to cover more ground in a shorter time — up to 59 acres an hour. It is larger than the high-speed nutrient applicator John Deere introduced in 2008, yet is compact for easier transport. It can be used in three seasons: For fall anhydrous work, for spring preplant fertilizer applications and for summer sidedress products. Learn more >>

The DW Series Toolbar is built to meet individual needs. The units feature industry-leading down flex in the wings, which allows for travel over the roughest terrain, optimizing fertilizer placement, and 60 inches of “rank” front-to-back in the frame allows for excellent trash flow. Heavy-duty construction with 6X4 or 6X6 tubing gives users the strength needed in today’s environment. The DW Series comes in various row spacings and up to a 58-inch working width. Hydraulic folding wings maximize road transport clearance by folding 45 degrees. Learn more >>

The DS1600A-DP Duo Steer Wagon is a dual purpose four-wheel steer wagon that features Duo Lift’s patent-pending design which allows the rig to carry a 1,600-gallon drainable liquid tank or two 1,000- or 1,465-gallon anhydrous ammonia tanks. The quick change tank mounting system allows operators to easily switch between the liquid tank skid and the anhydrous ammonia tanks’ skid settings. The wagon is available in a 120-inch fixed track width or the optional 120-inch to 140-inch adjustable track width. Also available is an optional provision for side-mounting an electronic scale utilizing a four-point weighing system. Learn more >>

Kongskilde’s Model 7200 is a heavy-duty, front-folding, toolbar. The front-folding feature allows for a narrower transport width vs. the standard vertical fold toolbars. The 7200 is available in working widths of 30 feet (12-row), 40 feet (16-row) and 60 feet (24-row) based on 30-inch centers. The 7200 can be used as an anhydrous toolbar, liquid fertilizer applicator or as a dry fertilizer applicator. It is available with a rear hitch for pulling nurse tanks, liquid carts, or a dry box cart. Learn more >>

BLU-JET’s wheel seal press wheel sealer was recently upgraded with a new spring design to reduce indentations behind the knife track while still securely sealing in NH3. This configuration minimizes surface disturbance, reducing the potential for erosion on side hills by pressing the soil firmly back in place. Operators report that using this attachment with EdgeBent shanks and minimum disturbance knives result in placement of NH3 at a proper depth and a finish that makes it hard to tell an applicator has been in the field.
