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 1210 pull-type models are all available with either 6-ton or 9-ton dry fertilizer tanks or a 1000-gallon liquid tank mounted on the chassis.

Trail Hitch for Anhydrous

Gladiator 1210 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 are 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 allow 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 1210M mounted models.

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 Transport Advantage

Transport Advantage

Changing from field operation to transport is quick and easy. The durable, fixed frame design with flip and fold toolbar, provides balanced, safe transport.

Equipment

Articulating Ball Hitch

Gladiator pull-type models feature CAT III or CAT IV articulating ball Power Pin hitches to reduce wear on the tractor clevis.

Wing Gauge Wheel

The front gauge wheel provides stabilization of the row unit. New metric tires with improved rubber compound offer increased stubble resistance.

Mainframe and Wheels

The mainframe features 445 metric tires on 10-bolt hubs in addition to ½” wall thickness on the tongue box section to support the 9-ton fertilizer tank.

Rear Hitch

The rear hitch option allows customers to pull nurse carts for liquid or anhydrous fertilizer. The rear hitch features an extendable tongue and attached winch to enable one person to easily connect nurse carts.
