Orchard growers know that managing fertility in permanent crops isn’t just about applying nutrients—it’s about applying them precisely, consistently, and efficiently under tight conditions. Between navigating narrow rows and protecting valuable root zones, the challenges can stack up fast.
Enter the Newton Crouch NC1500N: the orchard-ready fertilizer spreader built for growers who refuse to compromise.
Tight Rows and Canopy Clearance
The Challenge:
Standard fertilizer spreaders are too wide and clunky to navigate modern high-density orchard systems. Damaging limbs or compacting root zones is a real risk.
The Solution:
The NC1500N features narrow body hull at 48″ and a low-profile stainless frame that easily fits between tree rows—even under mature canopies.
Inconsistent Coverage
The Challenge:
Uneven spread patterns mean some trees get too much, others too little. That affects fruit quality, yield, and nutrient efficiency.
The Solution:
The NC1500N can broadcast a variety of swaths with dual stainless steel spinners. Even under variable terrain, coverage is consistent—every pass counts.
Precision Banding Needs
The Challenge:
Broadcasting in every application can waste product and oversaturate the root zone.
The Solution:
Add the optional bolt-on bander to the NC1500N for targeted strip application directly along tree lines—perfect for side-dressing and minimizing waste.
Limited Seasonal Flexibility
The Challenge:
Some equipment is built for spring-only applications or isn’t durable enough for post-harvest work.
The Solution:
With its stainless steel hull, blades, floor, and 7” conveyor, the NC1500N stands up to seasonal stress year-round—from early bud break to late-fall prep.
Downtime and Complicated Maintenance
The Challenge:
Time is money. If your spreader isn’t easy to maintain or troubleshoot, you’re losing both.
The Solution:
The NC1500N uses a simple engagement, spinner pulley, and PTO drive system with universal joint—rugged, familiar, and easy to service in the field.
