Designed to Perform...Built to Last

J&M's 5000 Series NitroGro™ Nitrogen Applicators get nitrogen to your plants consistently and efficiently to help maximize your yields. Customize your 5000 Series NitroGro with models available in either 1,000 gallon (5010) or 1,600 gallon (5016) tank capacities, 25' to 40'-4" working widths, and 20", 22" or 30" row spacing. Choose from injectors or knives to consistently deliver nitrogen next to the root to minimize the risk of denitrification. The nitrogen applicator's high‐tensile grade steel coulter shafts have a true 34" of crop clearance for a longer application window. The heavy‐duty 7"×7" toolbar uses a unique pivot design to raise and lower the center bar on a gradual arc for consistent and perpendicular ground contact. This single pivot design eliminates six pivot points compared to a dual linkage toolbar, reducing wear and maintenance. The toolbar flex and hydraulic down force ensures nitrogen is being placed at your desired depth, no matter the soil conditions. The toolbar can also be used as a rigid bar to suit your application needs. Pivoting points on the 5000 Series applicators use poly bushings for increased durability. Available options include closers, flow monitors, depth control spools, 3" fill valve, Raven 450 controller, ground drive pump and wavy coulters.

Toolbar Pivot Design

Less Pivot Points, Less Wear

The unique toolbar pivot design on the 5000 Series NitroGro Nitrogen Applicators raises and lowers the center bar through a designed arc so that knives insert into the ground at a 90° angle. However, the pivot arm of the toolbar linkage is designed so the arc is more gradual and more consistent when applying the coulter perpendicularly to the ground. This unique arm design eliminates complex pivot points and incurs less wear.

5000 Series Applicators are built with 7"×7" toolbar frame that flexes for consistent application while withstanding the high stress demands placed on the toolbar when the coulters are in the ground.

Short hitch-to-axle length (12' on 5010 and 14' on 5016 models) allows the applicator to follow directly behind the tractor, which reduces crop damage and eliminates the need for a steerable hitch option.

Unique locking bar allows you to unfold and lock the bar without leaving the cab of the tractor (no locking pins).

NitroGro 5000 Series Nitrogen Applicator Options

Para-Linkage Coulters

J&M's Para-Linkage coulter design keeps the applicator knives consistently in the ground while going over rocks and hard soil. As the Para-Linkage coulter rises, the knives rise at the same rate as the disc to ensure consistent fertilizer application at the desired depth. On traditional coulters, as the disc moves over an obstacle the knives swing up at an arc. This causes the knife depth and the fertilizer application to be inconsistent.

Para-Linkage coulters feature greaseless poly-bushings at all pivot locations to reduce maintenance and fatigue.

Row Closers

Adding row closers to your NitroGro seals the nitrogen in place, ensuring more is absorbed by the plant and less is wasted.

Raven Controller

The Raven SCS 450 automatically maintains the rate regardless of speed changes. The SCS 450 consoles include a 10-year non-volatile memory to maintain settings even with an extended loss of power.

Flow Monitors

Flow monitors allow the operator to see the rate of flow to each coulter using a floating ball located inside the transparent inspection tube. Each coulter is connected to the flow monitors with a separate supply hose.

Depth Control Spool

Ensure a consistent coulter depth with these optional 4" depth control spools.

Miscellaneous Options

Choice of knife or injection delivery
Larger 3" tank fill tube in place of standard 2" tube
