Anhydrous ammonia (NH3) application can provide many benefits to farming operations. The high concentration of 82% nitrogen equates to more valuable nutrients for the plant and since NH3 can bond to moisture in the soil, it can be available for a longer period of time. With this in mind, you can spread out your workload and apply anhydrous ammonia in the fall after harvest, or in the spring before planting. The Unverferth Renegade applicator is made for farming operations that want to take control of their nutrient application program and apply the right product, at the right rate and at the right time. Toolbar widths range from 62.5' down to 27.5' and the heavy-duty design and standard wing flex allow you to quickly tackle your acres and maintain consistent depth. With a wide range of factory-installed options and accessories, you can tailor your NH3 applicator to fit your operation's needs.

LEAD COULTERThe lead coulter features heavy-duty square mounting posts and straight bolts to ensure it stays straight and slices through the soil to clear a path for the NH3 shank.
SHANKThe 1 1/4” x 2” edge bent anhydrous ammonia shank features twin-spring shank mounts with 300 lbs. of trip force for consistent working depth and obstruction flexibility. The 3/4” NH3 knives feature a steel 3/8” drop tube for efficiently applying anhydrous ammonia underneath the soil.
CLOSING COULTERSThe CoverMax closing coulter sealers feature two notched blades that are angled to fill and seal the slot, which prevents fertilizer loss. Greaseless 1 1/4” plated pivot shafts with self-lubricating bushings and flat-face, zero-maintenance hubs with a 4-bolt design provide long-term, trouble-free use.
NURSE TANK HITCHTool-free adjustable rear nurse tank hitch features a retractable design for easy hookup. This hitch design retracts towards the front of the applicator so it can automatically lock when the operator drives forward, increasing the safety of the machine since the operator doesn’t need to remember to back up to lock the hitch.
CONTROLLERThe Renegade applicators are standard with a Raven ISOBUS rate controller and 50 gallons per minute single stainless steel Vortex cooler with a 1 1/2” single fast valve. A Raven 450 rate controller is available as an option in lieu of the standard ISOBUS rate controller and requires dual flow control valves.
