20 Inch Row Nitrogen Applicator

By Randy Darr, President

Soil-Right Consulting Services, Inc.

Many of our clients like to build their own equipment.  One of our clients built his own liquid nitrogen applicator utilizing the frame of an old John Deere row cultivator.  This client plants his corn in 20 inch rows and did not like the prospects of buying a complete system for $40,000.  So he built his own for about $3500.  He built it to apply nitrogen every 40 inches, therefore one knife will supply two rows.  Not really fancy but very effective.
