Hi All,
Wondering where the best place is to buy lechler nozzles. New sprayer (24m) to fit out and after a couple of sets (IDKT and standard flat fans) so wondering where the best place to buy in bulk locally or online is if anyone has any suggestions. Tried Y+H agri but they no don't seem to...

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.

Hi,
looking to get higher capacity on my sprayer.
My agronomist say i should buy a bigger sprayer, but after i got a few quotes, i think i would rather try to work with what i have.
Today i use 025 lechler idkt, 150 liters/ha water on everything except fungicide in grain and osr where we use...
Hi all
I dont come on here very often but could do with some advice if possible please. I have just got a new to me trailed Horsch LT. I have put new nozzles on all round after plenty of pondering which ones. Rightly or wrongly i went for Lechler IDKT's. It seems i may be wrong as any sort of...
Hi looking for a new set of Nozzles for windy conditions primarily for tattie job
Narrowed it down to 3 candidates
Lechler IDTA
Syngenta 3D Ninety
Arag ATC Twin air
Any thoughts or experience in real world conditions for any of these
Thanks
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
Need something relatively simple to cover approx 3500 acres in total per year.
24m booms with some sort of section control as fields not massive and can be odd shapes.
Budget circa £15k
No idea these days but quite liked the look of a JD 732i looked at recently but everything looks so complex...
Has any one used the new 3D 90 nozzle from syngenta
How good is the drift reduction compared to say Guardian air twins especially in windy conditions .
Do they choke easy and are they particularly fragile
Any comments welcome. I see Syngenta is doing a half price offer until end of October
Would...
Are blue ones worth it? Any better than white light?
Single lights at start of boom pointing along the nozzles, or 'strip' type lights along the whole boom length?
Probably been discussed a million times but reviewing again to reduce overheads.
If I go down to 155 litres per ha instead of 200 I only need to visit each block of land once with my 2000 litre tank which is a big saving in time and clat factor.
Is 155 litres per ha adequate for fungicides etc...
Hi, this might be an odd question because I'm an engineer, not a farmer...
How do people make sure they are spraying at the correct application rate on small sprayers (<500l like this one: https://www.silvannz.co.nz/silvan-sprayers/eco-500l-linkage-sprayer/)?
From what I've seen they just have...
We use a fair bit of Motif and X-Change with Lo-drift Hypro nozzles, but find this mix can be very slow to settle and produces a lot of fine droplets that rise up in higher temperatures. Pressure is kept down to 2 bar and it may all be down to spraying when cooler.
With drift management in mind...
Hi all,
We're moving onto a small acre of land with a house in the middle, surrounded by fields. Cabbage and wheat I think.
Please excuse my uneducated stance and questions but I'm struggling to get info from the local famers.
Lived in the area for 17 years but this new house is just outside...
Presently using chafer dribble bars but a potential change to a different sprayer means that nozzles would be the way to go.
What are you using and how do you get on with them?
Going on to liquid fert and had more or less decided to go down the hardi quintastream or hypro esi nozzle. I then thought about if the six rear nozzles hit the frame/mudguards with the patteren.? Do they make a circular pattern or flat like a standard nozzle.? Is this a common problem.? Its...
I bought some Guardian Air 04 nozzles couple of months back
Last night I went to roundup some barley. The first time I’ve used them
Set off spraying and noticed pressure off the scale at 12 km/h
Even at 10km/h pressure is 7 bar
Nozzles don’t appear to be blocked but there is a variation in...
Irrelevant of sprayer make, type size etc what are people’s favoured setups for getting the job done in terms of pressure, nozzle type, speed etc. Is there a happy medium you can leave all year round for all applications on combinable’s?
