) or both. It has
a working width (swath) of 36 or 40 feet (11 or 12.2 m).
The applicator has single or triple coulters with tines for
sub-soil application from optional on-board or
user-provisioned tanks.The NP2540 has a lift-assisted
2-point hitch.
When configured for conventional liquid fertilizer, the
NP2540 model is designed for use with
an optional ground-drive CDS-John Blue

an optional variable-rate Ace hydraulic drive pump, or
a user-provisioned pump.
When configured for anhydrous ammonia the NP2540
model relies on NH

provisioned trailing nurse tank.
A Raven SCS 450 console is available for sectional and
variable-rate control.
Intended Usage
