New Leader Manufacturing (NLM) (Cedar Rapids, Iowa) introduced its latest New Leader® nutrient applicator: the NL720 chassis-mounted spinner spreader. The NL720 is a nutrient applicator that allows growers and custom applicators the ability to spread fertilizer at wider widths, higher rates, and faster speeds, maximizing their time in the field and return on investment.
The new NL720 reinvents the field of spreader technology, featuring patented components and designs, engineered to meet the needs of today’s custom applicators and farmers.
Key features of the new NL720 include:
- High Productivity – The advanced delivery system and redesigned spinner in the NL720 achieve a 33% boost in productivity, thanks to its 120-foot spread width. This allows operators to cover more acres per hour, enhancing profitability.
- Low-Maintenance Design – With tool-free components, a positive-drive straight belt, a fixed feed gate, and an operator inspection platform, the NL720 is designed for easy operation and maintenance. Simplified spread-pattern testing, easy-to-replace blade overlays, and accessible chutes and actuators further reduce parts costs and minimize downtime during the spreading season.
- Versatility – The NL720’s integrated control module allows for push-button adjustments to the spread width, with options ranging from the full 120 feet down to 90, 80, or 70 feet. This feature is ideal for adapting to windier conditions, customer preference, or managing challenging fertilizer products, while the auto-adjusting chutes ensure seamless and dependable width changes.
"With the launch of the NL720, the agriculture industry is now witnessing a game changer in nutrient application,” said Rocki Shepard, CEO of New Leader Manufacturing. “The NL720’s patented design provides industry-leading performance that allows you to cover more acres in less time; and we know time is precious. It's a testament to our 85 years in the spreading business, and our commitment to continuously challenging the status quo.”
