We still use them today on the old farmalls. they are used to fertilize tobacco here and cultivate the soil as well. you can run cultivators alone or add the side dresser to apply fertilizer. I dont belive the old models from the 40s and 50s could apply liquid. a drive chain based off the rear wheels gradually pulls the fert. out of the tub down thru a hose to the ground. they are more popular on the farmall c's and h's as two row units unlike the one row on a farmall a.

I'm going on interpolation from things I've read, so I could be wrong, but my understanding is that it is a fertilizer applicator designed to place precision amounts of fertilizer next to the roots of emerging crops such as beans or corn.

Not sure if that's liquid nitrogen type fertilizer or granular.
