NTB 12 and NTB 16: ideal for liquid nitrogen applications
The Hagie NTB 12 (12-row, .8 meter/30-inch) and NTB 16 (16-row, .8
meter/30-inch) units allow liquid nitrogen applications in corn ground, pre-
and post-emergence. When combined with a Hagie STS class sprayer tractor, the
NTB 12 or NTB 16 are capable of side-dressing liquid nitrogen into corn 1.8
meters (6 feet) tall at speeds up to 29 kilometers per hour (18 miles per hour)
without causing serious damage to the stock, helping to prevent contamination
to ground water and runoff. Heavy-duty liquid Injection coulters inject the
nitrogen directly into the ground rather than dribbling or spraying onto the
surface, helping reduce volatile loss. Injection depth is maintained with a
three-section, ground-contour floating toolbar that hugs uneven terrain. When
the STS sprayer tractor is equipped with the optional hydraulically driven
side-fill, the sprayer can load itself in under 5 minutes. Both NTB units fold
for transport to 3.6-meter (143-inch) and travel at road speeds up to 48
kilometers per hour (30 miles per hour).
