Unverferth Manufacturing is introducing the Model 1400 to its NutriMax liquid fertilizer applicator line.

With its 1400-gallon capacity, it can help farmers evenly distribute fertilizer when the plants need it most.

The Model 1400’s toolbar is constructed with 7”x7” tubing on the mainframe and wings. Producers can opt for a 40-foot toolbar that can fold to 30-feet for dual-width application and a variety of row spacings from 22” to 36”.

A 36” toolbar clearance allows farmers to apply fertilizer at later stages, when the plant may need it most.

Its 13’4” transport width can help farmers transport the equipment safely. It also comes with standard support chains and LED red and amber lights.

The tank is made of thick-walled polyethylene for long life. It includes a containment tank that acts like a sump within a sump for holding the last 20-30 gallons of liquids on sidehills and inclines, maintaining a primped pump.

Farmers can choose between various single wheel and tires sizes and an adjustable axle from 88” to 132” to accommodate a variety of row crop spacings.
