Answer: “Right now, economics are driving the industry. Precise placement of products, and not over applying, is key to make sure spreading applications are efficient. The NL5000 G5 dry nutrient applicator is a high-performance, high-output precision spreader. We’ve added 16-section Swath Width Control to existing technologies and features from the G4 Series spreaders. The G5 shifting fan frame allows the operator to move left to right or right to left swath control on point rows. You can spread up to four products at one time, increasing productivity and return on investment.
