Granular Applicators Ferti-GO Applicator
A simple, accurate, solution for planter-mounted high-capacity dry fertilizer application.
Features
Ferti-GO 4S – Fertilizer Granular On-board, 4 sections. The Salford Ferti-GO 4S provides a simple, effective solution to increase dry fertilizer capacity on planters. The Ferti-GO 4S offers accurate, high-capacity dry fertilizer application for mounting on select planters. This unit features the same metering as on the ST-Series and other Salford Valmar products, known for its accuracy, ease-of-use, simple-cleaning, and range of application rate abilities. An implement mounted granular fertilizer applicator means ease-of-maneuverability because it’s not a tow-behind. Salford’s Ferti-GO 4S offers growers a simple, accurate, high-capacity fertilizer solution.
Planter Mounting Options
Mounting legs are available for popular planter models that are designed to carry on-board fertilizer systems such as the John Deere 1770/1775 NT, John Deere DB Series, Case 1255, and White 9800 along with a generic mount option. The mounting legs allow for the addition of optional weight scales which can be connected to a Digi-Star in-cab display.
Hopper Design
The Ferti-GO 4S features a 409 stainless steel single compartment hopper, with a standard capacity of 4 tons. Optional extensions can raise capacity to 6 tons. Standard hopper screens allow product to filter through, while keeping rocks and other materials out of the metering system. Bin level sensors are also standard. A roll tarp acts as the hopper’s lid, and is easily rolled open and unrolled for closure, using the standard crank arm. When the roll tarp is rolled open, the top of the hopper offers a large area of access for filling, and makes it easier for tender trucks to reach. A platform and ladder are also standard, for simple and safe hopper access.
Accurate Metering System
In order to make the Ferti-GO 4S easy to unload and clean, it utilizes many of the same features of the ST Series, including: snap-in meter rollers, spring loaded hopper gates, and a full width meter box clean-out door below the air manifold. The meter rollers are the same, accurate, peg style rollers used in the ST Series, available in both standard and low-rate peg sizes. Meter drive is hydraulic and variable rate ready, with a factory installed PWM valve.
The 4-section metering system is the same reliable metering used in the ST Series, with the capability of turning up to 4 sections on or off based on field requirements. The Ferti-GO 4S comes standard as rate control ready, which allows producers to install a third-party rate controller of their choice. An optional ISOBUS control system allows connectivity to any ISOBUS compliant cab console. Mechanical engagement of the meters is achieved with valve controlled hydraulic motors; a proven approach that has already seen extensive use on other Salford products.
Fan & Outlet Options
A 20-inch fan, driven by a 12cc hydraulic motor, spins at up to 5900 rpm to provide plenty of air at high rates (Allows for up to 200 lbs/acre @ 6 mph on 24 rows) Optional dual fans are available, to provide adequate airflow to high speed or wide swath planters (Allows for up to 400 lbs/acre @ 6 mph on 24 rows). By maintaining a set pressure in the air plenum behind the Venturi manifold, a constant, reliable airflow can be achieved – regardless of the number of outlets.
Available outlet options include 6, 8, 12, 16, 18, 20 and 24 outlets to match the number of rows on your planter. Optional airline splitters are also available to be fitted on 36+ row planters.
