DANGER
!
Avoid direct exposure to anhydrous ammonia (NH3)
and liquid fertilizer. Failure to follow this information will
result in death or serious injury.
If NH3 or liquid fertilizer is used, it is advisable to
consult documented information regarding safe
handling and application of NH3 or liquid fertilizer. Refer
recognized sources. See “Anhydrous Ammonia (NH3)
and Liquid Fertilizer” on page 2-9.
The Orthman 1tRIPr® II Mole Shank Assembly can be
used to place fertilizer at two different depths
simultaneously. Depending on the fertilizer setup, it could
be used to apply two different rates of fertilizer in the strip
at precisely two different depths.
The lowest setting is 1 in (2.54 cm) above the deepest
part of the mole point. The holes in the side plate (2) are
arranged vertically in 1 in (2.54 cm) increments. This will
help you calculate at what depth you are applying
fertilizer. For example, if you have the shank set to till at a
depth of 9 in (22.86 cm), the fertilizer tubes (8) would be
applying fertilizer at depths of 8 in (20.32 cm) and 4 in
(10.16 cm). See Figure 5-12.
NOTE:
The example shown is just one possible setting.
The specific soil conditions, fertilizer placement
points, and fertilizer amounts will vary due to each
user’s agronomic requirements.
The tube retainer holes (4) are used to retain the liquid
fertilizer tube or tubes. Use the innermost hole for
retention if you are only utilizing one fertilizer tube, and
use the outermost hole for retention if you are utilizing
dual fertilizer tubes. For more information on adjustable
liquid tubes, see “Mole Shank Assembly Fertilizer Tube
Installation” on page 4-13.
The tops of the fertilizer tubes may need to be bent or
formed at the top for better fit up to the end user’s
fertilizer hose routing and hose clamps. Use caution
when forming the fertilizer tubes, as to not kink the tube.

The 1tRIPr® II tail has routing brackets that can be used
for liquid or NH3 fertilizer tube routing. A front routing
bracket (7) mounted to the parallel linkage, and a back
routing bracket (9) mounted to the tail section allows for
the tubing to be held in place.
NOTE:
If applying two different types of fertilizer, like NH3
through one tube and liquid fertilizer through the
other tube, it is the responsibility of the user to
adequately insulate or add additional space
between the tubes to prevent the NH3 from
freezing the liquid fertilizer tube.
