SEEDBED PREPARATIONManaging the soil profile to

maximize water uptake and

prepping your seedbed are

critical. Regardless of your

farming practices, Great Plains

literally has every piece of

tillage equipment you need,

including our new Turbo-Max™.

Turbo-Max is tearing up the

competition with its innovative

design and features.

NUTRIENT APPLICATIONFor maximum plant benefit,

precise placement of High

Value Nutrients is a must. By

applying nutrients at the right

time, you can virtually eliminate

leaching and denitrification.

The Great Plains Nutri-Pro® and

sprayer lines are the perfect

solution to help you increase

utilization while reducing costs.

SEED PLACEMENTTo maximize yield, three things

must be done well: seed

spacing, seed depth, and

seed-to-soil contact without

sidewall compaction. Great

Plains Drills and Planters are

designed and built using these

principles. Again, no matter

what your farming practices,

we have the right seeding

configuration to achieve a

uniform stand in a variety of

crops. We are the seed place-

ment specialists!

years to come.

All applied N fertilizer sources eventually convert completely to the nitrate-N forms. It is in this form that it is taken up by the plant. It is also in this form that nitrate-N is at risk of leach-ing and denitrification. Application timing, temperature, and the amounts of rainfall influence the rates of both leaching and denitrification.

One strategy to manage the risk of nitrate-N loss is to make fertilizer applications in the spring just prior to planting (pre-plant), or side-dress N fertilizer after planting. The main reason that pre-plant and side-dress N applications will be more efficient is that there is a shorter “window” between applica-tion and plant needs. The shorter time period means there are fewer opportunities for heavy rainfall events and nitrate-N loss.

The other key component to a successful fertilization program is placement: positioning the fertilizer where the desired plant can easily get to it while preventing it from being wasted on weeds. Fertilizer that was applied in the fall at an angle to the spring-planted crop feeds the crop

inconsistantly and also fertilizes weeds that sprout between rows. Precision placement feeds each corn or soybean plant the same and also helps keep the nutrients from being stolen by weeds. QUICK SPECS

Nutri-Pro® Precision models offer a new approach to fertilizing challenges and is once again “Setting the Pace Through Innovation.” A totally new approach to fertilizer application is the 3-coulter option with a row cleaner. This option allows the producer to pre-apply liquid fertilizer (starter, high-rate, or both) prior to planting, do vertical tillage in the row, and clear the residue with a row cleaner. The result...precision-placed fertilizer in a clean, warm, fast-emerging seedbed for the planter to precisely plant the seed.

The Science Behind Nutri-Pro 4 | 5

16-Row Pre-Apply

Nutri-Pro® Precision lets farmers pre-apply liquid fertilizer while vertically tilling and cleaning a wide strip that creates a warm, clean, vertically-tilled seedbed your planter will love.

Nutri-Pro Precision is available semi-mounted with lift-assist wheels. Hydraulic weight transfer to the wings is standard equipment and helps Nutri-Pro follow the most challenging terrain.

A movable hitch and adjustable rear casters allow this machine to be easily converted for side-dress applications.

17-Row Side-Dress

By adding an odd row, shifting the tractor over 15", and pivoting the rear caster assemblies, a 12- or 16-row 3-coulter, pre-apply unit can easily be converted to a 13- or 17-row side-dress bar.

PrecisionApplication

PUMPS - Choose variable rate compatible with the Raven® Controller and hydraulically driven Ace® pump, or ground-driven John Blue® piston pump for set rate applications.

HYDRAULIC WEIGHT TRANSFER - Transfer valve applies weight from center to wings, providing even, constant down pres-sure to the full width.

LIQUID FERTILIZER - Applied with the field-proven Vantage 1-20, a heavy-duty 20" coulter with 480 lbs of preload.

VARIFLOW NOZZLES - Change orifice size based on pressure to produce a constant, even supply of chemicals no matter what the pressure.

NP30A/NP40A SEALERS

Nutri-Pro® NP30A, NP40A, NP30L, and NP40L models can be set up as pull-type units, 3-point mounted, or 2-point semi-mounted with lift-assist wheels in the back. Anhydrous models get the choice of single or double Raven® Super Coolers and can be set up for single-rate or variable-rate application. Sealing is also a concern that can be put to rest with one of three choices of sealers. Choose from double disk, basket, or the all new “Spider Wheel” closers.

NP30L and NP40L Liquid models feature a single row of our rugged Vantage 1 fertilizer coulters and an optional row cleaner to create a smooth, fertile path for your planting operation. Choice of variable-rate or ground-driven pumps deliver the fertilizer to the ground. A cushioned rear hitch is available for all models.

NH3 and Liquid Nutri-Pros

SUPER COOLER - Single or double super coolers are available depending on the rate of “N” required, the temperature, and ground speed (A models).

REAR HITCH - (Optional) A cushioned rear hitch is available to absorb shock loads when pulling large liquid or anhydrous tanks. It can also be released to allow for easier alignment and hookup.

FLOW CONTROL VALVES - Worm gear flow control valves on liquid models allow high volume flow and the ability to shut sections off. These state-of-the-art shutoff valves are faster and more reliable.

DISTRIBUTOR TOWERS - The stainless steel manifold ensures that the same amount of NH3 is given to each row. All hoses are the same length (A models).
