2026 Cadman CMA Platinum 5300

Soybean and corn crops harvested this year that have been side-dressed with manure had a 10 to 15% yield increase. Cadman has taken a concept brought forward by the Alig brothers of Ohio to design, build and market a new Continuous Manure Applicator (CMA) which is engineered to apply liquid manure via side-dress to row crops such as corn in fields as long as a ½ mile. The Alig brothers brought their patent-pending concept and four years of data collected by Ohio State University to Cadman where they used an example of corn side-dressed with liquid manure once the corn was in the ground. The data concluded that the best time to apply manure is when the corn reaches between 3 to 4 feet in height.

Features may include:

When can you apply manure?

The Cadman CMA enables farmers to apply manure virtually whenever it is required. Manure can be applied to crops before, after, and now during the crop cycle. Nutrient can be applied to the crop up until it reaches 3 to 4 feet tall.
 

How to maximize the value of manure?

You can maximize the value of manure by applying it at it’s peak nutritional value – when it is fresh. Applying manure with the Cadman CMA row crop unit could give a potential of a 200 bushel corn crop by basically using manure only.

How do you eliminate compaction?

You eliminate compaction by incorporating a linear drag hose system. The CMA carries enough hose (a ½ mile) so you don’t have to drive over the same path repeatedly by filling and refilling exceedingly heavy tankers which damages and compacts soil.

How to solve an ongoing environmental concerns?

With the CMA, the manure is pumped right from the manure source to the CMA and row crop injector which is then injected directly into the ground – exactly where it is supposed to go. Injecting nutrient directly into the soil eliminates any chance of nutrient run-off, keeping watersheds clear of contamination.
 

How to combat the rising cost of synthetic fertilizers?

Manure is a more readily available nutrient source. Using manure increases the water-holding capacity / infiltration / organic matter of soil better than synthetic fertilizers. Simply put, manure is a superior replacement for fertilizers and when applied correctly – in a timely matter with a Cadman CMA – you will see greater results at a fraction of the cost.
