Independent 1500 - Strip Till Fertilizer Applicator

The I-1500 Strip Till Applicator takes the best of strip till technology and spreads it out over a much deeper frame than conventional strip-till machines in order to prevent the tool from plugging with high volume residue.

Combined with Salford Commodity Carts, the I-1500 is an ideal tool for responsible nutrient management. The carts flexible metering system and multiple compartments allow you to apply the right products at the right rate.

The I-1500's high clearance design allows you to get into the field in almost any conditions, allowing you to apply pre-planting fertilizers at the right time. The multiple attachments for broadcast incorporation, banding behind coulters and deep placement with the shank kit allow you to put your pre-planting fertilizer in the right place.

Salford’s I-Series tools can be equipped with 500lb spring trip shanks, or 1,300lb hydraulically protected shanks that can till and apply fertilizer up to 8” deep. The I-1500 can be equipped with berming and/or rolling baskets to create the desired finish.

The I-1500 strips are on 30" centers and the standard layout tills a 20" row with 5 coulters per row and a 10" undisturbed strip between the rows. The Coil-Tech Coulter I blade mounts carry a 20" wavy coulter and features industry leading clearance and durability.
