I visited SCMN-06 last fall trying out the 6000 with manure application. I have a couple pictures but my pictures are in fall harvested corn stalks. Here is one of his setup at that time. I think the method SCMN is talking about of fall manure application with the 6000 followed by spring strip till right over the manure with the Pluribus unit will be a popular system with folks who have access to liquid manure. This system also works with fall anhydrous in areas like C ILL & Kansas where that is one common nitrogen application method ahead of corn. The 6000 in the fall cuts the residue and also just blackens a slight bit of soil but without working it.
Jim at Dawn edit: This could be setup to side dress - I know nothing about side dressing manure into growing corn however. I'd be worried about the tank tires and keeping them between the corn rows, etc.
