If i ever did it Lee I don't think we wouldn't be looking for more area to spread it over - its the logistics that make it complex and are all that is stopping me doing in now TBH, massive volumes to mix and apply. I doubt a 12m set up would be able to cover even 50% of our own area in a timely fashion
I keeping looking though and if I can find the mechanical solution to make it realistic it would be a no brainer to do it really
With spring crops in the mix wouldn't the application window be much bigger though. I know very little about it but isn't winter planted crops cultan applied anytime from now onwards? While spring crops would need it probably before planting so depending on crop type from say march through to may? thus giving an operating window from Feburary to May?
And are the volumes any more than normal liquid N? So in @Knockie 's case running down the field with 5000 litres on his quad track at 10m widths means potentially 25ha per load if applying 200l/ha (I have no idea on rates applied but just using 200l as an example?
I also though Cultan allowed a reduce amount of N applied due to it being a different form but also placed more accurately?
I'm interested in the idea but not really done any research so know very little other than bits picked up on here so I may well of misunderstood .......
