Anyone use this? Does it work out cheaper? What brand? Have you ordered recently what price? Do you use a wisdom pump? Thanks

Never worked out much cheaper when I've priced it in ibcs.
Same with oil, production lines are set up for 200/20l drums.

We have done for a few years (not sure on price) handy not having piled of 20l drums to get rid of. I just use a pump that screw into the ibc lids with the lil screw out bit in the middle. Frontier i think are doing a closed transfer thing that works with the chem ibc but its prob expensive

All suppliers seem to be working with one company or another. I’ve heard the Hypro one is

We use them, price is very similar but using them is so much better. We use the wisdom system and you could fill up without PPE it’s great. We normally get white label (Motif) though frontier

I’ve been buying glyphosate in 1000 l shuttles for at least 20 years or more
it is generally significantly cheaper per litre than buying in 20 l drums, but to be honest, it’s been a long time since I’ve done a price comparison
the big advantage is ease of handling & not having a pile of empty 20 l drums to dispose of
a number of Ag chemicals are available here in 1000 l shuttles

1000l shuttles ?
they are everywhere here as they use them to supply everything to the agricultural industry & farms
mini shipping containers ? yeah, they are quite common / east to get hold of as well. Make great secure storage in sheds, workshops etc

it can be as simple or as complicated as you want it to be.
from gravity systems, as easy as opening the tap to fill a measuring jug for only a few litres, to cheap basic hand operated rotary or drum pumps connected to the micromatic fitting on the top, to electric pumps with batch metering for larger operations or contractors

The threads on the tap are an unusual pitch, but an adapter costs about $20, to allow you to screw a 2” cam lock straight to it, to connect to a pump or batching unit

Most on here like to complicate things and spend money.that’s the thing, it can be as simple or as complicated as you want to make it.
