ShortBoss Low-Clearance Y-Drops are designed for nitrogen applications where reduced drop length and tighter clearances are required. Built on the same patented NutraBoss trailing-angle principles, ShortBoss delivers precise, centered placement in a more compact form — without sacrificing durability or performance.
This configuration is ideal for operators running lower boom heights, specialty setups, or machines where standard-length drops aren’t the best fit.
ShortBoss maintains the same practical geometry that keeps NutraBoss drops stable and centered in the row, while reducing overall length to accommodate clearance constraints. The compact design helps prevent unwanted contact while still placing product where it belongs.
Because ShortBoss is built to order, each system is matched to the machine’s boom height, spacing, and operating conditions to ensure proper alignment and consistent application.
ShortBoss Y-Drops use the same materials, construction methods, and design philosophy found across the NutraBoss lineup. Lightweight construction, durable components, and field-serviceable simplicity are all retained — just in a shorter configuration.
Trailing-angle placement for centered application
Lightweight design for stability and control
Durable construction for long service life
Designed to integrate cleanly with existing booms
ShortBoss is part of the broader NutraBoss system and can be combined with compatible mounts, brackets, and add-ons as needed. Whether used as a full-boom solution or in specific sections where clearance is limited, ShortBoss provides another way to tailor the system to real-world conditions.
Built for the situations where standard length isn’t ideal — without compromising the performance NutraBoss is known for.
The optional RowBoss add-on is designed to protect drag hoses on short setups or when the boom runs lower than intended, whether from uneven terrain or momentary height changes. By adding a small amount of controlled weight, the Row Guide helps stabilize the drop while preventing excessive wear on the upper portion of the hose.
Constructed from stainless steel and attached with a single bolt, the Row Guide is simple, durable, and easy to install. It keeps hoses off the ground so that — even at a low operating angle — only the applicator tips make contact, while the drop maintains proper alignment at normal ride height.
BugBoss is a precision attachment designed for fungicide and insecticide applications and can be easily added to existing NutraBoss Y-Drops. It incorporates nozzles that can be rotated to spray downward as well as upward and installation is easy — mount the plate with two U-bolts and route the single hose through the stick to your boom nozzle connection for clean, controlled delivery.
BugBoss systems can cover the full boom width and are versatile enough to operate across a wide range of corn heights. BugBoss is also available as a standalone system that pins to compatible brackets, and custom brackets can be built when needed to match your specific machine.
