2024 Case IH Trident Combination Applicator 5550

The most productive high-clearance row crop combination applicator on the market, the Trident ™ 5550 delivers industry-leading changeover times to help you cover more acres and meet demands across three seasons of use — preplant, postemerge, postharvest.

Trident Family

The Trident 5550 liquid/dry combination applicator didn’t earn CropLife IRON “Product of the Decade” honors for nothing. With a 42-minute changeover time, the Trident 5550 is the fastest-converting high-clearance row crop combination applicator. Built with industry-leading horsepower in a high-clearance applicator, high-capacity configurations, 40 MPH roading speeds and a system that delivers a throughput of more than 60 gallons per acre, the Trident 5550 is the Combination Applicator that puts the rest to shame.

The Trident™ 5550 meets all demands across three seasons of use — making it the only model needed for Liquid & Dry Combination Application.

Features may include:

A Quick Change Tool that Works Fast

A combination applicator that takes hours to switch between liquid and dry isn’t a true combination applicator. The Case IH Aerial Lift Device helps convert from the Trident 5550 Liquid System to the NL4500T G4 Edge or NL5000 G5 variable rate dry nutrient applicator in just 42 minutes.* The fast, easy changeover puts you back in the field sooner, helping you make better use of your fleet.

Liquid Application

AIM Command FLEX™ II is an advanced spray technology that delivers the ultimate in sprayer control for added precision and more efficient use of time and resources. Here's how it works:

• Pulse Width Modulation: AIM Command Flex II ensures a constant application rate and spray pressure, even when the sprayer speed changes. Think of it as a way to switch nozzle tips without stepping out of the cab. Once a standard tip is chosen, AIM Command FLEX II automatically and precisely regulates the flow to meet targeted application rates. Operating at up to 20 pulses per second, the nozzle valves adapt their duty cycle to maintain the correct application rate.

• Application Rate: Regardless of speed, ground conditions or field shape, AIM Command FLEX controls product flow and pressure, optimizing application rates and droplet sizes for consistent application.

• Turn Compensation: Ground speed varies across the boom during turns — causing underapplication on the outside of the boom and overapplication on the inside. AIM Command FLEX eliminates this issue by adjusting flow rates on each individual nozzle across the boom during turns.

• Direct Injection: (1,400 gallon tank only) allows for selective spraying for exceptional accuracy and easier rinsing.

Dry Application

Meet the demands of complex nutrient programs. Apply up to four products at once with the MultApplier™ option.

• Precision Technology: ??Spread dry fertilizer up to 120 feet and ag lime up to 60 feet with consistency.

• Intuitive Interface: New Leader with ISOBUS electronics seamlessly interface with the Pro 700 or Viper4+ controllers. Advanced hydraulics support precise, independent spinner speed and conveyor control.

• Apply up to Four Products: The MultApplier™ option increases productivity by applying two products simultaneously or independently. Add micronutrients via the MultiBin™ option and apply up to four products in one pass.
