What’s with the current trend of forward backward spray nozzles? I was always of the thinking that backwards spray just goes upwards and so therefore pointless! It seems that most of these only offer corse spray patterns to get around this. Is there are nozzle that people know of that does...

I'm after some recommendations or advice on volume washers. It's for a 20/40 and fed from a 10,000litre tank. I've got quotes from about £500 up to just under £4k! How is everyone getting on with what they've got and what sort out litres per minute does a good job for you? Thanks

Evening all. I have an unusual question for all on here. There is probably no such thing but no harm in asking. We use a weed licker for getting rid of our pesky rushes. To me it's just an ok job. It will eventually kill them off over a good few weeks but not completely gone.(with good dosage...

Discovered in a bush near our tanks this week, confused though as tanks locked and untampered then today we started the generator …….. empty just a reminder- they are out there ! lock it up or loose it

As above. I mention glyphosate but surely their must be a comparable, chemical, under development to succeed it ,as should it ever get banned worldwide,the market for a comparable is huge.

A word of caution…. I sold my 2015 Amazone UX3200 sprayer a few weeks ago because it had done 70,000 acres and it was also tactically the right thing to do from a deprecation/tax point of view. i bought it new, and I can honestly say it never once let me down. Ever. I wanted a new Amazone...

I am looking at liquid fertiliser nozzles for a Bateman and wondered if anyone had had experience of bfs 5 star plus variable rate nozzles. Has anyone had trouble with scorch using them?

Anyone looking to buy the above. Never used and big saving on new?

Now PWM has been round for a year or 2 how are people finding it does it deliver all it promises? Is the inability to use Air Induction Nozzles an issue? What are the running maintenance costs like when compared with conventional Air shutoffs? Is it worth the premium of £1000 per metre...

A friend of mine runs a Bateman SP sprayer. I think it’s an RB16. He’s had a couple of cases of glyphosate contamination when spraying cereals, it resulted in crop damage. He would be thorough enough in terms of washout although he has never used the clean water tank. The sprayer would be 10-15...

Bought a new propane gas dehorner and when I lit it lots of flames rising quite high which made it useless as you turn it to use it and burn your hands Altered the regulator but nothing altered the flames Tried a new gas cylinder still no difference Any ideas?

I inherited a trailed Horsch sprayer last year, its currently got 035 and 05 AI nozzles on it. it does have the 25cm spacing also but find when we have used that it is very liable to block the filter etc. it needs a new nozzles, my other sprayer I run a set of flat fans and a set of 035's...

Evening guys and gals. Something to ponder over and see what you think. We run a JD962i trailed sprayer and we are wondering how to go about putting a separate tank on it to spray the wheeling/tramlines with glyphosate to reduce the amount of green in the tramline swath at harvest. Thinking of...

Our 30-odd year old Kew 6100 professional has finally give up the ghost!, it was a pretty decent spec machine that must hav been up around the 2000 psi mark so would be looking for something the same again. As wit everything now there appears to be a million different options to choose from! Do...

Anyone ever taken them to harvest? Yield good or bad? Spring vigour poor?

Anybody using an N Sensor on liquid fert , if so what nozzles are you running to get a big enough variation to make it worth while, it’s an Agrifac sprayer on a single line so looking for nozzles that can give a good spread of rates without going to too high a pressure to avoid scorch.
