A Combination Applicator by Design, not by Adaptation

  • Cover More Acres

    We engineered the Trident 5550 from the ground up to help you maximize returns on every acre and from every dollar you invest in application equipment. A single chassis that’s rugged — yet nimble enough — to handle liquid and dry applications lets you get across more acres at the right time.
  • Liquid & Dry Application

    The Trident 5550 gives you the flexibility in a single piece of equipment to meet the demands of timely fertilizer applications and on-demand treatments for all types of pests. The latest precision application technology helps you get the job done quickly and efficiently across three seasons of use.
  • Fast Change-Over

    How valuable is a combination applicator that takes the better part of the day to convert? With the Trident 5550, you can spend your morning spreading a highly customized nutrient package, and then over the course of not much more than an extended coffee break, be ready to put down a preplant herbicide in the afternoon.


Welcome to High-efficiency Crop Production

The Trident 5550 liquid/dry combination applicator embodies High-Efficiency Farming: efficient use of time, resources and inputs. And today, maximizing yield potential requires a more specialized approach to feeding and protecting. The Trident 5550 meets those demands across three seasons of use — preplant, postemerge, postharvest.

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 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.

AIM Command FLEX™

Get the most out of every tankful, every hour and every acre with AIM Command FLEX advanced spray technology. This superior spray system is a factory-equipped option on every Trident 5550 Liquid System and delivers the ultimate in sprayer control for more efficient use of time and resources with sound product stewardship.

High-capacity Productivity

The Trident 5550 combination applicator provides the capacity and reliable ruggedness to keep you rolling. The Trident 5550 Liquid System features a 1,400-gallon tank for longer run time between refills. That means more time in the field and more acres in the books every day.

 

New Leader® NL4500T G4 Edge

As fertility becomes more complex, the Trident 5550 combination applicator — featuring the optional New Leader® NL4500T G4 Edge variable rate dry nutrient applicator — can help you meet the demands of these prescription nutrient programs. And because you can apply up to four dry products at once, you can meet those demands more efficiently.

High-Capacity Productivity

Waterfall dividers and a high feedgate opening allow for maximum product output, while maintaining a consistent drop point for repeatable product placement. Large bin capacities and configuration options let you customize your dry applicator to meet your needs, so you spend less time filling and more time spreading (all capacities are struck).

  • Single bin: 330 cubic feet
  • Five-foot MultApplier bin, 115 cubic feet; Bin 1, 190 cubic feet; total capacity, 305 cubic feet.
  • Seven-foot MultApplier bin, 161 cubic feet; Bin 1, 131 cubic feet; total capacity, 292 cubic feet.
  • Three-bin MultiBin system: Bin 1, 131 cubic feet; Bin 2, 143 cubic feet; Bin 3, 44 cubic feet.
  • Four-bin MultiBin system: Bin 1, 131 cubic feet; Bin 2, 143 cubic feet; Bin 3, 21 cubic feet; Bin 4, 23 cubic feet.

 

The Surveyor® Cab

With 109.5 cubic feet of interior space, the Surveyor cab provides exceptional leg room and room to stretch during those long hours in the cab. And all that space is put to efficient use, with easy access to operator controls without sacrificing visibility. Luxury or deluxe, you choose the option that best meets your needs.

One Chassis, Three Seasons

The Trident 5550 liquid/dry combination applicator is the industry’s first combination applicator on a row-crop chassis that’s engineered from the ground up to be changed from liquid to dry and back again throughout three seasons of use. To meet your need for a flexible new equipment solution capable of protecting and feeding your customers’ — or your own — crops at the optimal time required rugged innovation.

A Combination Applicator With Row-crop Flexibility

  • Easily Adjust Axles

    These days, row widths can vary from farm to farm, crop to crop or field to field. Right from the seat in the cab, the Trident 5550 lets operators quickly and easily adjust axle settings. Axles slide into or out of frame, as sensors in each axle-adjust cylinder provide in-cab feedback about axle positioning. Prepopulated, preset dimensions, ranging from 120 to 160 inches in ½-inch increments, make adjusting to varying row spacings easy and fast. No manual stops required.
  • Factory-Available duals

    A larger footprint on the ground can help make wet fields more accessible and reduce soil compaction. The Trident 5550 is the first applicator featuring factory-available duals in row crop tire sizes. A range of dual options and spacings of 20, 22 and 30 inches accommodate varying tire sizes, crops and seasons. Plus, the outer wheel easily can be removed, eliminating the need to change between flotation and row crop tires.
  • High-Capacity Braking

    In most situations, the hydrostatic drive provides all the braking power you need. An in-cab pedal activates service brakes in all four planetary hubs. Parking brakes are spring-applied and pressure released.

 

Hydrostatic Drive Puts You in Complete Control

The hydrostatic drive on the Trident 5550 provides infinitely variable speed control. Each time the hydrostatic operating lever returns to neutral, wheel motor swash plates return to their maximum angle, allowing maximum torque for each start.

Case IH AFS Keeps You on Track

When you tap into all that Case IH Advanced Farming Systems (AFS) offers, you bring the latest, most advanced precision technology to the Trident 5550 combination applicator. AFS is an integrated precision farming solution that gives you more control right from the seat of the cab.
