Nutri-Placer 940 Extends Fertilizer Applicator Family for Case IH

The Nutri-Placer 940 HSLD is Case IH’s newest addition to its fertilizer applicator family with the HSLD, or High-speed Low Disturbance row unit being a new option never offered before. Speed and efficiency are the name of the game here, with the Nutri-Placer 940 HSLD capable of minimal soil disturbance while still reaching speeds up to 11mph. That means that operators can cover up to 900 acres in a 12-hour day while still ensuring precise nutrient management.

“The size of the Nutri-Placer 940 combined with the efficiency of the HSLD row unit option means operators can be more productive than ever, lowering tractor hours and reducing fuel consumption. Not only are operators able to cover more ground faster than ever before, but they can also rest assured that they’re locking in each crop’s profit potential with better nutrient uptake.”
- Chris Lursen, Case IH tillage and pull-type fertilizer applicators marketing manager

In field testing, the HSLD row unit provided better residue cover and more level surface finish than other coulter-style applicators available, properly sealing nutrients. The Nutri-Placer 940 HSLD places nutrients up to six inches deep in the root zone — when and where crops need it most.

Expanding upon the Nutri-Placer family

Launched last year, the Nutri-Placer 930 HSLD features a 47.5-foot width that the Nutri-Placer 940 HSLD builds upon with sizes ranging from 50- to 65-foot widths, allowing even more productivity. Both models feature cast-iron components and reduced maintenance to keep operators in the field during fall, preplant and side-dress applications. They also feature the new 22.6-inch single-coulter-blade design that effectively cuts through residue with minimal disturbance, leading to improved soil and moisture retention that helps reduce runoff. A uniform surface finish means valuable ground cover is preserved in highly erodible land and heavy, no-till corn conditions.

The Nutri-Placer® 940 fertilizer applicator with new High-speed Low Disturbance (HSLD) row unit is made to address individual operator needs with a variety of agronomically designed coulter, shank and sealer options.

Additional new features to enhance productivity and effectiveness with the Nutri-Placer 940 HSLD include:

• 5-section flex for ground contouring
• Triple-fold transport modes
• 30-inch row spacing to meet a variety of row crop needs
• Easy leveling turnbuckles for wing wheel adjustments
• Larger wing fold cylinders: 4.5-inch fold cylinders on inner and middle wings, 3-inch cylinders on outer wing front fold (60- and 65-foot models)Larger standard radial tires for main transport and wing wheels
