Sidedress bars & 360 Y-DROP
Put nitrogen inches from the stalk on the bar you already own, with no coulters or bearings to replace.
How far a coulter bar puts nitrogen from the plant on 30-inch rows. Y-DROP puts it just inches from the stalk base. 360 Yield Center
What it changes
Placement
Right above the root zone, where light rain can move it into the soil.
Window
360 rates the bar kit as late as V7, up to three collars past a coulter. Going later takes a high-clearance rig.
Upkeep
No bearings or coulters to replace.
Row spacing
Adjustable for 15 to 36 inch rows.
Three years of Farm Journal test plots: Y-DROP at V3 to V6 yielded about the same as a coulter cart. At V8 to V11 it beat normal drops by 10 bushels in an N-hungry year, and by under 2 in the next two. Those gains came from late passes. Tell us what you pull it with and we'll tell you which setup gets you there.
What we do
- Install 360 Y-DROP on your bar
- Add FlowSense to see the real rate on every row
- Set it up and calibrate it ourselves
Common questions
Y-DROP vs coulter sidedress: which is better?
360 Yield reports over six bushels more than coulters. Farm Journal's test plots found about the same yield at V3 to V6, and a bigger gain later and in N-short years. If you always sidedress early with plenty of N, the math is different than if you run late.
How late can you sidedress corn with Y-DROP?
360 rates the bar kit as late as V7, up to three more collars than a coulter. Going later, up to pre-tassel, takes a high-clearance rig.
Can I convert my coulter bar?
Yes. 360 Yield built Y-DROP to replace the coulters on a bar you already own. Tell us the width and row spacing.
Do you have sidedress bars for sale?
Ask. What's available changes through the season, and we can set up the bar you already have.
