The Orthman Atlas Dry Fertilizer Cart.

Orthman’s reputation for continually meeting the needs of the innovative agricultural producer has resulted in the development of the Atlas Dry Fertilizer Cart. The Atlas fertilizer distribution system is an invaluable extension your existing strip-till implement. The versatile design of the Atlas Cart accommodates 30, 36, 38, and 40 inch row spacing 1tRIPr machines and virtually any 7 inch square toolbar on the market. Various models of the Atlas Cart lifting drawbar hitch will attach directly to an existing Orthman 1550 double toolbar CAT 3 or 4 hitch or your Orthman CAT 3/3N 5x7 hitch.

Now more than ever, Orthman is allowing the producer to precisely place fertilizer for season-long plant uptake. Teaming the 1tRIPr and the Atlas Cart alleviates historical dry fertilizer issues including runoff and soil dislocation due to wind or water. Simply put, dry fertilizer application with the Atlas Cart and 1tRIPr precisely places dry fertilizer in the root zone while creating a homogenous mixture of fertilizer and soil for the crop to easily access.

The Orthman Atlas Cart was designed specifically to allow producers to even further capitalize on single pass efficiency. The lifting cart is available with your choice of a dry fertilizer bulk tank with a capacity of 6 tons or dual liquid tanks with a carrying capacity
of 1,000 gallons.

Both of these entirely hydraulically driven systems, allow for fertilizer to be applied with the Orthman 1tRIPr or virtually any fertilization tool utilizing an industry standard 7x7 toolbar.

The Atlas Cart lifting drawbar hitch is available in models to attach directly to your Orthman 1550 folding double bar (pictured above) CAT 3 or 4 hitch or your Orthman 1500 folding toolbar (pictured below) CAT 3/3N 5x7 hitch. Lift arm spacings are available in 60, 72, and 78 inches and fully adjustable axles for wheel spacings of 120, 144, 152, and 160 inches accommodate 30, 36, 38, and 40 inch 1tRIPr folding or non-folding machines.

The design of the Atlas Cart and its superior strength is derived straight from the Orthman 1096 Grain Cart and the use of heavy duty 10 bolt hubs, replaceable spindles, and the super heavy duty adjustable axle design to outlast any other cart on the market.
