The new Deep Banding High Speed Nutrient applicator by CrustBuster, Spearville, Kansas, provides minimum soil disturbance while applying fertilizer in either no-till or conventional fields. This applicator has the capability to deep band NH3, liquid fertilizer and dry nutrients all in one pass at speeds around 10 miles per hour.
The width options available range from 40-, 45-, 50- or 60-feet on CrustBuster’s heavy-duty frames, making it possible to cover large acreages in less time. The units are equipped with DMR Technologies’ Penetrator fertilizer coulter openers. One unit replaces two typical coulter openers and can run over 40,000 acres with minimum maintenance. Individual units are hydraulically raised and lowered and can apply active down pressure up to 1,000 pounds. The precise application is managed by SureFire Ag Systems. SureFire’s Torpedo NH3 systems are specifically configured for CrustBuster applicators and the application to fit the grower’s operation.
