NEW 2984 HIGH RESIDUE MAVERICK™

The new Yetter High Residue Maverick™ maximizes yields by placing fertilizer in the root zone, which allows for earlier planting by promoting mellower soil for early warm-up. The new High Residue Maverick™ is a one pass machine which places fertilizer in the root zone while clearing the path of residue and creating a perfect seed bed right in the planting zone. (See figure A).

Advantages of the New High Clearance Maverick
• Added clearance allows for more residue flow during field operation.
• Residue Manager leaves a clear path to allow soil to warm up quicker.
• Residue Manager placed behind coulter to cut and then remove both halves of
• Precision parallel linkage lowers horsepower requirements and helps lower
operating costs by reducing draft and allowing maximum speed and consistent
placement of fertilizer.

Features
• Optional Smooth or Notched Sealing discs that build a perfect berm or strip.
• Optional sealing wheels to reduce soil moisture loss.
• Optional wheels for Residue Manager (Notched Disc, Shark Tooth® Wheel, Residue

THE BEST RETURN ON YOUR EQUIPMENT INVESTMENT

MAXIMIZE YIELD POTENTIAL. Turn your fertilizer dollar into higher yields and increased profits. The 2984 High Residue Maverick™ places fertilizer in the root zone, where your crops need it most — all season long. Almost half of a corn plant’s roots are within 12” of the soil surface during the tasseling stage (see illustration). Broadcast fertilizer can stratify in dry conditions and run off or volatilize.

PLANT EARLIER. Study after study shows that early planting increases yield potential. That’s why progressive farmers are turning to fall or spring strip tillage with the Yetter 2984 High Residue Maverick™– it "opens up" your planting season, giving you an extra week or more when you need it most! The coulter and residue manager combination, along with the knife’s tillage action, promote mellow soil for early warm-up, while the sealing discs build a perfect strip right in the planting zone — 2 to 4 inches high with 25% to 50% residue coverage.

LESS EQUIPMENT WEAR AND TEAR. Strip-tilling with the 2984 High Residue Maverick™ combines tillage, fertilizer placement, residue management and sealing. That's four jobs in one pass, with the precision of parallel linkage. This saves you time, fuel and wear on tillage equipment and tractors, and it reduces soil compaction.

LOWER OPERATING COSTS. Look at the illustration at the bottom of the page. Parallel linkage on the 2984 High Residue Maverick™ keeps the knife at a consistent depth. You get precision placement, and the knife can’t flex into a nose-down position as a traditional "C" shank injector can. Nose-down causes excessive drafting, which requires more horsepower and more fuel and leads to fertilizer waste. You can count on maximum speed, reduced draft and efficient use of expensive fertilizer.

BUILD HEALTHIER SOIL. Soil health is what ultimately influences yield potential. Soils with good tilth (air, moisture, nutrient content and less compaction) require less energy from the plants to establish roots and allow more energy for plant yield. The 2984 High Residue Maverick™, with residue management and knife tillage, promotes better soil drainage. Air is allowed to infiltrate for early soil warm up. Seeds that emerge in an unhealthy seed environment will never regain their Ultimate yield potential, but seeds planted in a mellow, cleared and fertilized strip experience a growth explosion! So plant into a perfect seedbed prepared by the Yetter 2984 High Residue Maverick™ and get the best return on your equipment dollar.

"Very impressed with the job the Maverick did and believe this system will conserve time, moisture and fertilizer while improving the return on investment."
