It comes equipped with 120 and 180 cu ft. capacity tanks and uses Salford’s Valmar metering technology.
“Both metering systems deliver product to a single funnel that drops in to a common venturi air stream for the highest possible blending accuracy and efficienty,” Salford said on its website. “There is no need to run two sets of air lines to the application knife as all the blending happens right at the metering system.”
Dennis Rice, lead engineer at Valmar, said the metering system is designed to work with seed so it doesn’t crush fertilizer.
Jack Huerkamp, a farmer from Macon, Mississippi currently uses the PathFinder on his 1,800 acres of corn and cotton.
He said it made his days in the field a little bit easier.
“With the PathFinder we were able to speed up and increase our fertilizer output compared to our previous cart,” he said in a release. “We’d stop every now and again to get out a little chunk of fertilizer that might stop the rollers, but otherwise I could run our 12 rows with up to 600 pounds per acre at about 6 miles per hour.”
