Unverferth Manufacturing is introducing the Model 1400 to its NutriMax liquid fertilizer applicator line.

With its 1400-gallon capacity, it can help farmers evenly distribute fertilizer when the plants need it most.

The Model 1400’s toolbar is constructed with 7”x7” tubing on the mainframe and wings. Producers can opt for a 40-foot toolbar that can fold to 30-feet for dual-width application and a variety of row spacings from 22” to 36”.

A 36” toolbar clearance allows farmers to apply fertilizer at later stages, when the plant may need it most.

Its 13’4” transport width can help farmers transport the equipment safely. It also comes with standard support chains and LED red and amber lights.

The tank is made of thick-walled polyethylene for long life. It includes a containment tank that acts like a sump within a sump for holding the last 20-30 gallons of liquids on sidehills and inclines, maintaining a primped pump.

Farmers can choose between various single wheel and tires sizes and an adjustable axle from 88” to 132” to accommodate a variety of row crop spacings.

The FarmCast, host Troy Randall speaks with Doug Luedke, Vice President of Service, and Davin Peterson, Executive Vice President of Aftermarket at 21st Century Equipment, to discuss the importance of proactive service and how it helps farmers reduce downtime during their busiest seasons. The conversation focuses on the Winter Service Inspection Program, a comprehensive approach designed to keep equipment running at peak performance and limit costly in-season breakdowns through preventative maintenance and expert technician support.

Doug and Devin explain how 21st Century Equipment’s service teams have evolved to meet the needs of today’s connected machines. With more technology and data integrated into modern equipment, technicians now play a vital role in both mechanical repairs and precision ag support. Through advanced diagnostics, machine monitoring, and John Deere’s Expert Alerts, they can identify and address potential issues before they become major problems—saving customers valuable time, money, and frustration.

Throughout the discussion, the team shares real-world success stories demonstrating how proactive inspections and customer-focused service help maximize uptime and efficiency for every operation. Whether it’s a large tractor, combine, or small mower, the goal remains the same: to provide trusted, reliable support that helps farmers and landowners stay productive and confident in their equipment year-round.
