Salvage Dry Fertiliser Spreaders in New Zealand

Fertiliser applicators for sale come in a variety of forms depending on the type of fertiliser being applied, including liquid, dry, and anhydrous.

In agricultural and farm settings, fertiliser is most often applied in liquid or dry form before, during, or after the growing season. The task requires fertiliser applicators pulled by a tractor (some self-propelled models are available) to spray, inject, spread, or otherwise distribute the solid, liquid, or anhydrous either directly into the ground or right next to the plant (sometimes referred to as side-dress) or on top of the ground (top-dress). Fertiliser applicators for sale come in a variety of forms depending on the type of fertiliser being applied.

Anhydrous and some types of liquid applicators, for example, need a knife or coulter to cut through the soil to inject the anhydrous or liquid. You’ll find new and used liquid fertiliser applicators for sale from manufacturers such as Ag Spray Equipment, Blu-Jet, FAST Manufacturing, John Deere, Schaben, and Unverferth. The most popular manufacturers offering anhydrous fertiliser applicators include Blu-Jet, Case IH, Dalton Ag Products, Great Plains, and John Deere.

Dry fertiliser applicators typically have a hopper or wagon and use a boom or spinning disks to spread the fertiliser across the ground. Manufacturers of dry fertiliser applicators include Adams, Amazone, John Deere, Kuhn, New Leader, Valmar, and Vicon.

Fertiliser application relies on getting the right kind of fertiliser to crops at the correct time using the best method, whether that’s side-dress or top-dress, so many of the advancements you see in fertiliser application are geared toward those aspects. Use of technology has allowed for variable fertiliser application rates. A twin tank option from MonTag and Kuhn Krause allows for two different types of fertiliser to be applied at the same time, with metering designed to ensure consistent application rates. Other manufacturers, including Case IH, are equipping fertiliser applicators with flexible wings that help follow the ground contour to ensure better and more accurate fertiliser application, with a range of tank capacities to fit almost any need.
