Rain makes grain. But too much winter or spring moisture can rob plants of the nutrients they need to grow and mature. Whether side dress is part of your planned fertility program or a new consideration driven by this year’s weather, choose the best equipment to get the job done right.
Ensuring your corn crop has the nitrogen it needs is among the most important factors that will help your crop reach its full yield potential. But when adding inputs, be sure to pencil it out. This year, your pencil needs to be sharper than ever. Fertilizer application equipment from Case IH features technology to help you realize the greatest returns from your fertilizer investment.
Proper placement. Root-zone banding technology from Case IH places nutrients deep in the root zone, where they are more readily available to plants during the growing season. Our toolbars feature flexible wings that follow the ground contour for even greater accuracy. The hydraulic system on the Case IH Nutri-Placer 2800 model provides active down pressure and single-point depth control.
Durability. Our rugged, heavy-duty frame — with its engineered, rounded gussets placed according to detailed stress analysis — is designed for increased toolbar strength. Other features make it convenient to operate:
Root-zone banding technology makes your fertilizer investment count.
Tank options. Choose a tank that meets your individual needs. Capacities range from 850 to 2,050 gallons. We mount our tanks lengthwise for excellent operator visibility and center them over the frame for greater stability. Our tanks are balanced to provide a constant tongue weight whether full or empty. And a 2- or 3-inch tank fill — depending on the model — makes for quick loading.
