A PUBLICATION DEDICATED TO MAXIMIZING YIELD POTENTIAL

Do You Find Yourself Frequently Stopping to Refill
the Fertilizer Tanks While Fertilizing Your Crops?

Have you ever considered how much more ground you could cover if you didn’t have to keep refilling. Well, stop wasting that valuable time! . . . And start covering more acres and generating more revenue with little or no down time. There are several options on the market that will help you to do just that! The most efficient and effective choices are high-capacity carts and fertilizer toolbars.


OPTION 1

The Yetter All Steer High Capacity Cart keeps your operation running longer is designed for multiple applications including pre-plant, planting, side-dressing and strip-till fertilizer.

The ability to carry large amounts of fertilizer herbicides and insecticides will stretch out the time between refills, eliminating nonproductive down time and the need for saddle tanks. Incorporating a high-capacity cart into your operation sets the stage to capitalize on maximum yield potential. Research indicates that timely application of fertilizer can dramatically increase yields, which in turn increases your bottom line, and high-capacity carts allow you to complete the fertilization process in an accurate, efficient manner. According to Bob Jodts of Geneseo, Illinois,

“The All Steer High Capacity Cart from Yetter greatly improved our planting productivity. Its capacity more than doubled what I was previously hauling in tanks mounted on the tractor. With less stops to refill, we were able to plant about 30% more acres in a day.”

OPTION 2

Toolbars for sprayers with fertilizer openers are another popular timesaving option. Such products feature a unique quick hitch system that allows fast, convenient change over from spray boom to fertilizer toolbar.

This allows the operator to spray on windy days injecting fertilizer versus sitting making the sprayer dual purpose. Most units do not sacrifice ground speed for this kind of adaptability. Rolling fertilizer openers create minimal draft, and growers who run 12-row 30” fertilizer applicators report being able to run at about 12 MPH. The ability to switch to the fertilizer toolbar combined with this kind of speed produces fast returns and higher yields.

 
High-capacity carts and fertilizer toolbars are investments to a larger return to bottom line. As with any such purchase, it is important to make sure that you are getting a highquality product that is built tough to last. When selecting a high-capacity cart, be sure that it has structured steel tubing as the foundation for the saddle tank. This feature provides a strong mounting platform, which evenly distributes stress loads on the tank.

It is also wise to choose a model that has rear tires that continually track the front tires. This feature results in less compaction and downed crops, provides a controlled traffic pattern, and allows a tighter turning radius.

When selecting a fertilizer toolbar, look for models that are constructed of steel tubing and heavy-duty hinges to hydraulically fold for narrow transport width. The toolbar should also have the ability to lock into a positive extended position with hydraulic activated locking mechanisms.
