Frontswept Fertilizer Knife with Carbide Insert and Chrome Tube Protector for Anhydrous Application

Description

When you’re applying anhydrous ammonia, you need a knife that’ll slice through the soil cleanly and place that nitrogen exactly where your crops can use it. This frontswept fertilizer knife is built for the tough job of anhydrous application, where precision and durability make the difference between a good season and a great one.

What You’re Getting

• Carbide insert cutting edge that stays sharp through rocky soil and heavy use
• Chrome carbide tube protector shields the delivery tube from wear and damage
• Crimped and drilled 3/8-inch stainless steel tube resists corrosion from anhydrous
• Front-swept design cuts through residue and penetrates soil smoothly
• 15-inch length provides good soil penetration without excessive draft

Built for Anhydrous Work

This knife is specifically designed for anhydrous ammonia application, where you’re dealing with one of the most corrosive fertilizers around. The stainless steel tube won’t pit or corrode like regular steel, and the carbide insert keeps cutting cleanly even when you hit rocks or hardpan that would dull a standard blade.

Made to Last

The chrome carbide tube protector is the real workhorse here—it takes the beating so your expensive delivery tube doesn’t have to. The carbide insert can be replaced when it eventually wears, but you’ll get plenty of acres out of it before that happens. The whole assembly is built to handle the pressures and corrosive environment of anhydrous application.

Good to Know

Make sure your application equipment can handle the 1/2-inch thickness and 2-1/2-inch width before ordering. The crimped tube end provides a controlled discharge pattern that helps distribute the anhydrous evenly. Keep spare carbide inserts on hand during busy application seasons—they’re much cheaper than replacing the whole knife.
