2027 Case IH Trident 5550

The Trident™ 5550 meets all demands across three seasons of use — making it the only model needed for Liquid & Dry Combination Application.

Purposeful Solutions Across Three Seasons
The Trident 5550 liquid/dry combination applicator didn’t earn CropLife IRON “Product of the Decade” honors for nothing. With a 42-minute changeover time, the Trident 5550 is the fastest-converting high-clearance row crop combination applicator. Built with industry-leading horsepower in a high-clearance applicator, high-capacity configurations, now available with double the hydraulic output with the Dry Hi-Flow Trident offering, 40 MPH roading speeds and a system that delivers a throughput of more than 60 gallons per acre, the Trident 5550 is the Combination Applicator that puts the rest to shame.

The dry Hi-Flow offering is dedicated to fertilizer applicators that demand the most from their chassis to cover the most acres.  

Features May Include: 

SenseApply Technology

Make the Most out of Every Input with SenseApply

• Maximize the output of every input with SenseApply technology. Its unique factory-fit cab mounted single-camera system offers the market’s most Live Variable Rate Application (VRA) options. Case IH SenseApply technology is the most versatile sense and act solution with no annual subscription and no per acre fees, including a Selective Spray upgrade. SenseApply saves time and money by automatically making the most out of every application pass.

Aerial Lift Device

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 or NL5000 G5 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.

Liquid Application

AIM Command Flex™ II – Ultimate Sprayer Control

AIM Command FLEX™ II is an advanced spray technology that delivers the ultimate in sprayer control for added precision and more efficient use of time and resources. Here's how it works:

• Pulse Width Modulation: AIM Command Flex II ensures a constant application rate and spray pressure, even when the sprayer speed changes. Think of it as a way to switch nozzle tips without stepping out of the cab. Once a standard tip is chosen, AIM Command FLEX II automatically and precisely regulates the flow to meet targeted application rates. Operating at up to 20 pulses per second, the nozzle valves adapt their duty cycle to maintain the correct application rate.
• Application Rate: Regardless of speed, ground conditions or field shape, AIM Command FLEX II controls product flow and pressure, optimizing application rates and droplet sizes for consistent application.
• Turn Compensation: Ground speed varies across the boom during turns — causing underapplication on the outside of the boom and overapplication on the inside. AIM Command FLEX II eliminates this issue by adjusting flow rates on each individual nozzle across the boom during turns.
• AutoBoom XRT: The integrated AutoBoom® XRT Automatic Boom Height control option detects and accommodates changes in terrain for more accurate and effective coverage across every inch of ground.
• Boom Recirculation: Available on the 120-foot and 135-foot aluminum boom, factory-installed Boom Recirculation returns product to the tank. This allows the Trident liquid applicator to keep chemical circulating while not spraying to maintain live pressure in the booms which keeps chemical in suspension to consistent product application. With Boom Recirculation, it also allows the opeartor to reclaim product from the boom back to the tank to help reduce chemical waste.

Dry Application

Get More Done with Each Pass

Meet the demands of complex nutrient programs. The Trident 5550 combination applicator with the optional New Leader® NL4500T G4 Edge or NL5000 G5 variable rate dry nutrient applicator lets you spread product faster, wider and more consistently. Apply up to four products at once with the MultApplier™ option.

• Apply up to Four Products: The MultApplier™ option increases productivity by applying two products simultaneously or independently. Add micronutrients via the MultiBin™ option and apply up to four products in one pass.
• Precision Technology: Spread dry fertilizer up to 120 feet and ag lime up to 60 feet with consistency.
• Intuitive Interface: New Leader with IOSBUS electronics seamlessly interface with the Pro 700 or Viper4+ controllers. Advanced hydraulics support precise, independent spinner speed and conveyor control.

Now available, the Trident Dry Hi-Flow chassis pairs with the New Leader NL7 series and the Salford AB230CD to meet the needs of operators who need to cover more acres efficiently and spread up to 120 feet. This chassis cannot be converted to liquid. 

Dry Hi-Flow Chassis Offering - this non-convertible dry-only offering features double the hydraulic output of the standard chassis, enabling greater spread widths, higher speed application, and massive throughput. Engineered for peak performance, this high-output system delivers. 

• The Raven Rate Control Module (RCM) technology comes standard with the New Leader NL7 series ensuring ease of calibration and spread quality. 
• The Salford AB230CD box comes standard with the Raven RCM.
• The Dry Hi-Flow chassis offering is also compatible with Case IH SenseApply Live VRA nitrogen application.

Application Tanks & Bins

Spend Less Time Filling, More Time Spreading

• Whether liquid or dry application, the Trident 5550 liquid tanks with a capacity of up to 1,600 gallons and dry application bins with high capacities and configurations to apply multiple products at once.

Chassis

A Combination Applicator with Row-Crop Design

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. 

• Frame: The backbone, it carries every component of the system under some of the toughest conditions imaginable. Constructed of welded tubular steel with additional plates and gussets at key stress areas.
• Load-Compensating Suspension: Handles high-capacity loads over a wide range of speeds. The system maintains ride quality and load leveling and adjusts automatically according to operating mode and load weight.

Engine & Transmission

The Most Powerful High-Clearance Combination Applicator Available

Engine:

• At 390 engine horsepower, the Trident 5550 is the most powerful high-clearance liquid/dry combination applicator available. And thanks to Case IH Efficient Power technology, it generates more power with less fuel for a lower operating cost.

Transmission:

• The hydrostatic drive provides infinitely variable speed control. Full-time 4WD provides excellent traction in all types of conditions. Individual wheel traction control senses slip and helps the machine power through those tough spots.

Axles, Wheels and Brakes

A Combination Applicator With Row-crop Flexibility

• The flexibility of the Trident applicator allows you to configure your machine to fit your operation. Featuring easily adjustable axle widths, factory-available dual options in various spacings and high-capacity braking.
