As above , just wondered if many people are modifying sprayers to use IPC s via closed transfer system . Fronteir are subsidizing the kit for a few weeks , not sure about the other " big" firms ( Agrii, Procam, Hutchinson etc) . I am fitting it to my Bateman and got the CT kit to move around...
Looking at speccing our 16000 litre water/fert bowser with a 3 inch engine Pacer pump. The price difference is over £900 for a Kohler diesel over the Honda engine. Will check with supplier, seems the Kohler is a larger HP. Can the Honda manage with pumping fertiliser or is it at its limit? I see...

Morning
looking to build a watering set up for my cattle to use in the summer, landlord’s keen to fence of the rivers and the pasture pump trough won’t work as the distance Is to much. Looked a few solar set ups and they seem very fiddly and unreliable according to the farms using them.
My plan...

When grassweeds survive post-emergence herbicides, it’s often assumed that the spray hasn’t worked and resistance may be at play. But recent research shows that application matters just as much. CPM reports.

So I’m looking for a sprayer and a local dealer has 1000l tolmet sprayer with 12m booms it looks to be fairly well made but I know nothing about sprayers so looking for advice it will be used to spray 15 acres of barley and some grassland any advice welcome
Might put a sniff of liquid fert on barley tomorrow. Would it hurt to leave a little in the system in case it comes cold again. Will wash sprayer off. Many thanks

Looking at updating my trailed sprayer and quite a lot come fitted with GPS section control. Not individual nozzle control. So the same thing i currently have but controlled by satellite (I use a lightbar to help with on an offs). My questions are; is it useful/reliable? I currently put...
We are currently specing up a new sprayer and wondered if PWM is reliable and worth the extra investment.
We probably have 140 headland corners/bends where it would save time and potentially give a small yield increase/input saving, but I think the numbers are small in the grand scheme of...
We have done most of our spraying with billericay bubble jets @100 ltrs /ha as it suited field size but we have just changed to a bigger sprayer with 5 way rotating nozzle holders but with only one set of nozzles fitted
What nozzles would you recommend and what rates are you using
The brief: convert a 2015 'Redcad' sprayer with existing RDS-34i spray rate control and Hypro 'Duo React' twin line nozzles on air (6x4m sections), to ideally RTK (NTRIP) auto steer and GPS section control.
I'm happy to keep the RDS-34i rate controller, but I'm wondering if Field IQ could...
Does anyone here use Flex Fertiliser. I’ve a Chafer sprayer with a Hypro pump on it and I was wondering if it’s suitable to use with the Flex fertiliser. And if not what pump would be
Interested to know people’s experience with these…. Spoke to the salesman at a show and on paper great but do they work?
Looking at them for 2 jobs:

2) calves - as they (apparently)...
There’s has been many debates over the years around the true cost of running older SP Sprayers. Just over two years ago I bought a 2004 chafer mirage with 7000hrs on the clock, and now it has been sold i have gone through my accounts and I can offer an accurate result of the figures. These...
