On the Southern Great Plains, In a No-tillage winter wheat rotation, winter canola, peas and brewing barley.      In service since 2008 and up to 2018 at Lohn, Texas. “The Heart of Texas, 2 hours south of Abilene and 2.5 hours north of San Antonio on famous Texas Trail,  Brady Texas is the County Seat.   This is a No-till and Tillage applicator using the MRB-25 opener from Bourgault.  The 42 foot machine has been very reliable and is normally pullmed by 300 to 325 hp tractor.   The machine was stored Inside up and until 2018 when a new Mustang 4015 took it’s place.  Outstanding No-till farmers.  This machine has covered up to 7,000 acres per year over a 10 year period in a No-till farming Scenario of Ronnie and Lance Helberg.   The Helberg’s maintained the machine in excellent condition as noted by the Duplex/Triplex Injectors that were installed in 2012.

   
                                                     High visibility, with excellent hydraulics.

The Bourgault MRB-25 has a 20 inch blade diameter x ¼ thickness and is complete with Exactrix TAPPS formulator Duplex Injection.

The MRB-25 was produced after the MRB-20 which had an 18 inch blade..
There is also a later production Series 3 MRB.  The series 3 MRB, the mounting is the same.
The Bourgault blade diameter is 20 inch for the MRB-25 and series 3.
Yielder® Blades  are available in 21.9 inch diameter from Exactrix® in ¼, 5/16 and 3/8  for produces that prefer less service labor.

During the 2010 crop production year several saturated soil conditions and unusual weather conditions prompted a different approach to nutrient injection with the Bourgault MRB-25 opener.  

Triplex and Duplex injector tubes were introduced in 2010.   This machine was immediately updated to Duplex Injection in 2012.

In 2010 it became apparent that acres could be increased with some changes to the injection mounting and injection point using time proven stainless steel TIO holders retained with roll pins......with additional chrome wear plates added at the injection tip.  

1.The 2KP/2KM Check Valve is located 2 feet away from injection point at frame. 

2. The check valve can also be housed in a sectioned steel pipe housing . Optional.  Just in case the Check Valve location needs to be moved in to the range of the sunflower stalks. 

3. The Bourgault MRB-25 Triplex adjustment for wear is made by relocating spacers and locating Shims correctly. This takes away the guess work of setting the injection point. 

4. The adjustment for wear is not required until the blade has worn 1 inch. 

5. The housing will not deform in mudding conditions. Bending of the housing has not occurred to date.  

6. The housing uses a triple TIO holder....allowing up to 3 products to be mixed...or an alternate injection TIO for NH3. 

7. The MRB-Triplex is quickly removable.  

8. The Triplex TIO holder (Bourg 128) is held in place with two roll pins….and is two position mounted in a Hi/Lo option as the conditions merit. The TIO holder design has been utilized since the Flexicoil 5 Paired Row Stealth opener was developed 6 years ago.  

9. A hard chrome wear tip is installed to protect the TIO in case the blade wears down too far before adjustment.  The Chrome insert wear tip is utilized to assure the TIO’s cannot be worn by the blade or the soil.  

10. The three injection lines are protected in spiral wrap plastic tubing that is very durable and retained with a stainless steel hose clamp.
