2026 Bourgault MRS III Fertilizer Application System

Straightforward One-Pass Seeding

The Mid Row Shank™III Fertilizer Application System provides a viable option for Producers who want to achieve optimal fertilizer placement with a simplified, lower maintenance means to achieve one-pass seeding.

Features may include: 

Mid Row Fertilizer Application - Simplified

Mid Row Fertilizer Application with Simple Shank Design

The MRS™III C-Style Shank is designed to provide reliable mid row fertilizer application where heavy straw is not a limiting factor.

The MRS™III Fertilizer Application option is available on:

• ParaLink Hoe Drills™ 10" and 12" spacing;

• 5810 Air Hoe Drills (except the 5810-74) 12.6" spacing only.

Hydraulic Shank Design

The Mid Row Shank™ Fertilizer Applicator consists of an opener mounted to an edge-on shank which uses a hydraulic cylinder as a trip mechanism.

• An opener with a ¾" carbide tip is standard supplied from the factory.
• Apply any form of fertilizer by installing the appropriate adapter tube into the opener body.

Momentary Isolation Switch

Get Out of a Sticky Situation

The Momentary Isolation Switch provides a fast and convenient method of reducing draft or releasing trapped residue without disrupting the seeding pass.

• If the drill begins to bog down, the Operator can lift the MRB® Fertilizer Applicators only and broadcast the fertilizer and leave the seed openers in the ground to temporarily reduce the amount of draft. Once through the wet spot, the MRBs® can be returned to the engaged position.
• This feature is particularly handy for dumping straw that may accumulate on the fertilizer shanks of MRS™III-equipped drills.

MRS™ or MRB® Fertilizer Applicators?

Are Mid Row Shanks the Right Option For Me?

The iconic Mid Row Bander® Fertilizer Applicator and the Mid Row Shank™III Fertilizer Applicator are leading options for one-pass seeding with each option having both their strengths and their challenges. These should be carefully considered by Producers when configuring the ideal one-pass system that will best meet their conditions and practices.

Like the MRB® Fertilizer Application System, the Mid Row Shank™ Fertilizer Application System is a viable option for Operators wanting to apply nitrogen and/or sulfur between every other seed row.

Operators interested in the MRS™III option should consider the following important factors when determining which option to select.
