FERTILIZER SOLUTIONS

Precision Nutrient Management

The Gladiator product line features one of the most complete fertilizer application offerings in the industry. These systems are easy to operate and provide precision nutrient placement options for growers with the desire to apply dry or liquid fertilizer with or without anhydrous ammonia.

Gladiator 1205M 3-point mounted models are available with either 1700-gallon or 9-ton (8- to 16-row models) and 1200-gallon or 6-ton (6- to 16-row models) tanks mounted on steerable carts and pulled behind the toolbar.

Trail Hitch for Anhydrous

Gladiator 1205M and 1205 pull-type models are available with a trail hitch, typically used for towing an anhydrous cart. All hitches feature an extendable tongue allowing the operator to position the Gladiator close to the cart and then maneuver the trail hitch to make the connection. A strap and winch is also fitted to assist with lifting the tongue of the anhydrous cart. Trail hitches are also available on Montag steerable carts for maximum fertilizer flexibility.

The Montag System

Montag dry fertilizer systems are designed so that the fertilizer for each row is metered separately. Only in this fashion can consistency across the machine be ensured. An air release is used close to the row unit to disperse air and prevent fertilizer from being blown forcefully down into the strip and bouncing out. Diffusing the air also prevents back-pressure building up in the hoses which would lead to blockages and inaccurate application rates.  

Any Gladiator which may be fitted with a 9-ton dry fertilizer hopper may be equipped with the Montag Gen II system. Two 4.5-ton tanks allows the operator to blend two different types of fertilizer together for placement in the strip. Although a different design compared to the single tank system, metering still takes place on a per row basis to ensure consistent application rate across the width of the machine. Rates of the two fertilizer products are controlled independently for total control. Also available as a Montag steerable cart on 1205M mounted models.

When trailing a tank behind a mounted strip-till toolbar it is imperative that the tires remain in the zones between strips. The Montag steerable cart uses a double ball linkage to ensure that not only do the tires remain between the strips in the field, but that they also line up following turns on end rows so that no part of the strip is driven on.

Variable Rate & Section Control

The Montag Gen II twin-tank system is compatible with GPS variable rate and section control*. Use your mapping system to automatically vary the rate of either fertilizer product as you work the field. Minimize over application and wastage at point rows by dividing the machine into sections and letting the GPS switch off either half of the machine automatically.

*Compatible control system required for full functionality.

Fertilizer Blockage Monitor

Fertilizer hose blockages waste expensive nutrients and jeopardize your crop. Wireless blockage monitors alert you the moment a blockage occurs. Discreet in cab monitor provides an audible alarm and tells you which row is blocked. Monitor offers wireless technology for quick and easy installation.

THE ANGLED HINGE ADVANTAGE

The Angled Hinge Advantage

Allows wing sections to fold forward, reducing transport height for machines equipped with spring reset row units.

When folded, the center of gravity is moved forward reducing need for additional tractor ballast and increasing stability. The hinge resists upward movement in the field working position, thereby helping to maintain target depth, reducing pivot pin wear.
