Continuous Manure Applicator (CMA)

Product catalog summary
Introduction
Cadman Power Equipment Limited has introduced the Continuous Manure Applicator (CMA), developed from a concept by the Alig brothers. The CMA is designed to apply liquid manure to crops during the growing season, offering advantages over traditional spring and fall applications.
Specifications and Design
The CMA is capable of applying manure in fields up to half a mile long using a hard hose method. This method reduces soil compaction, requires fewer tractors and labor hours, and extends the application window compared to traditional methods.
Best Practices and Benefits
Applying manure during the growing season enhances nutrient utilization and minimizes environmental impact. It reduces the need for synthetic fertilizers and helps in regulatory compliance by lowering the risk of fines.
Operational Efficiency
The CMA extends the application period by at least two months and can apply up to 72,000 gallons per hour. It reduces soil compaction and allows application in fields with crops up to 4 feet high without causing damage.
Technology and Innovation
The CMA includes a computer control system for one-person operation, enabling remote control of functions like engine RPM, pump clutch, and hose reel. This system ensures consistent nutrient application and prevents hose tangling.
Conclusion
The CMA is a significant advancement in nutrient management, offering increased yields, reduced labor costs, and efficient manure nutrient use. It is adaptable to various field sizes and conditions, making it a versatile tool for modern agriculture.
Overview
The document details the specifications and operational procedures for the CMA, designed for efficient manure management in agricultural settings, particularly for side dressing in row crops.

BEST MANURE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES Public concerns have increased the pressure on farmers and custom pumpers to meet best manure management practices (BMP) to improve the most effective use of manure on the soil. Regulatory issues vary in every jurisdiction, and are constantly changing. Only being able to apply during a specific time period increases the requirement for manure storage. Solids settling will reduce the nutrient value stored in manure, decreasing your potential for yield increase. The loss of nutrient value when applying manure pre- and post-crop necessitates the use of commercial...

UTILIZING THE BENEFITS OF YOUR MANURE HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER The CMA generates a larger time window for spreading liquid manure, allowing you to spread via side-dress, during the row crop growing season. The most recent research has proven that the CMA can generate more profits by utilizing the nutrients in manure (N, P & K) while the crop is growing. At the same time, public concerns are minimized by utilizing incorporation instead of spraying of liquid manure. Runoff is reduced, nutrient utilization is increased, and concerns from neighbours about smell, and wider concerns about runoff and the...
