Wako NH3 Knives: Precision & Durability for Modern Farmers
Nov 19th 2024
As the crisp autumn air sweeps across the fields, harvest season may be ending, but for American farmers, the hard work is far from over. With this year’s crops gathered and stored, it’s time to prepare the fields for next year’s season. NH3 application is a proven way to enhance soil health and maximize yields. However, to see real results and prevent nutrient loss, it’s crucial to invest in the right equipment—namely, high-quality fertilizer knives. That’s where Wako NH3 fertilizer knives come into play.
Unlike injectors, Wako fertilizer knives offer precise and efficient nutrient delivery while preventing dilution, runoff and nutrient loss. By distributing fertilizers evenly and directly into the soil, these knives not only enhance crop performance but also reduce overall fertilizer costs. Renowned for their precision, Wako knives allow farmers to deliver nutrients directly to the soil. From the versatile Wako MAG-50 to the rugged Wako Mopher, Wako’s products are compatible with most applicators and fertilizers, making them a top choice for farmers nationwide.
Designed for both durability and precision, each Wako knife is heat-treated and made from superior-grade 5160 spring steel. Furthermore, the knives also feature advanced design elements such as leading-edge chrome inserts and chrome tube protectors for extended wear life. With models tailored for wet or dry soil, smooth or rocky terrain, and varying levels of soil disturbance, Wako offers a solution for your unique needs.
A popular choice, Wako’s MAG-50 knives are a reliable, all-purpose knife for many farmers. Ideal for both ammonia anhydrous and liquid fertilizer, MAG-50 knives offer excellent wearability with medium soil disturbance. If you’re seeking reliability and versatility, the MAG-50 models work in a range of soil conditions and can meet the demands of your land.
Barndoor Ag carries the Wako MAG-50 Fertilizer Knife with 5/8” Vapor Tube, and the Wako MAG-50 Fertilizer Knife Dual Tube and Protector, perfect for intensive application requirements.
Wako MT-50 fertilizer knives are a highly-efficient choice for strip-till farmers. With minimal soil disturbance and reduced air pockets, these knives promote nutrient absorption and soil health. The MT-50 is designed to place nutrients deep into the soil while maintaining a clean, controlled slot, making it ideal for precision fertilizer application.
Barndoor Ag offers Wako MT-50 Fertilizer Knife with 3/8” x 3/4” Vapor Tube for dual vapor-NH3 application and Wako MT-50 Fertilizer Knife with 3/8” Tube for single anhydrous ammonia application.
Wako Mopher fertilizer knife is the toughest and most aggressive model in the lineup, built to handle the most challenging conditions. With aggressive soil disturbance, these long-wearing knives are ideal for deep, precise nutrient placement. Similar to the Wako MT-50, Mopher knives are another great fit for strip-till rows, but with even more cutting power.
At Barndoor Ag, we carry the Wako Mopher Fertilizer Knife with 3/8” Tube as well as the dual application knife, Wako Mopher Fertilizer Knife Dual Tube and Protector.
