The Cadman CMA Platinum Series is a Continuous Manure Applicator engineered to apply liquid manure during the row crop growing season, maximizing nutrient efficiency and reducing compaction. Developed in collaboration with the Alig brothers and supported by four years of Ohio State research, this machine allows manure application when crops are 3–4 feet tall—right when they need it most. With a heavy-duty John Deere engine, remote operation, and 2800′ of drag hose, the CMA is designed to deliver precise, environmentally friendly nutrient placement with minimal labor and no tanker traffic.
