Hello Everyone,
I'm making the leap and going out on my own contracting small to start with but hoping to get bigger.
Here's my dilemma Fastrac 1115 or Massey 6170
I've always been a Massey bloke but I really like the look of the 1115.
Opinions?
i have been spraying T2 for some on with .7 of terpal. Finished the field with 1/3 of a Ha left in the tank, than added 10ha with no terpal and sprayed the next field. I have some still left in tank but next field the ears are out. Would the terpal cause any damage. would be equivalent of .025/ha
Anyone having issues with drip stop valve rubbers failing when spraying Corteva’s Univoq, Iconiq or similar?
Seems to a bit of an issue among sprayer drivers having widespread DSV failure on FB.

I have only been using the sprayer for a couple of months but today it seems to have the application rate fluctuating wildly and wont stay on the target rate for more than a few seconds.

Anyone using these urea based foliars this year in an attempt to cut back on expensive N? If so how do you plan to apply them? In a mix with T1 or T2 fungs? Or separately? Water rates? I was only planning on applying 28l ha to apply equivalent of 40kgs conventionally applied N (or maybe a tad...
If you've been spraying su herbicides on cereals, then want to spray sugar beet. I use a tank cleaner such as All clear / tank cleaner
Usually with the rinsings I have a stubble field which I would opt to spray on.
If not, does All clear / tank cleaner have any effect spraying back onto...
In general I do 3 doses on winter crops and 2 on spring.
Wheat gets 200 max for a yield of 9t/ha max, depending on rainfall on our light soil. I go in 3 equal splits with the 1st as soon as I can get on within the NVZ rules, 2nd dose about GS30 and 3rd dose when I have time but generally around...
