We still use a Kuhn Aero for fert spreading because of its headland accuracy and windproof performance etc.
Aero's have not been made for some years and ours is 19 years old, I wonder if this Horstine is up to the job?

From personal experience I have found that Horstine kit tends to be very good in both the metering and distribution of whatever product you put through it.

I was involved in a project for Frontier Agriculture for applying Avadex this year, where they had a frame made to mount two Horstine Twin air machines, each capable of doing 12 meters, and a 24 meter boom, it has been very successful and accurate.

This new machine from Horstine looks like a much neater and compact package to the one Frontier made, with the problems that frontier came across addressed in better ways.

I will be interested is having a look at this at cereals

They need to get the crops back on the label otherwise it's market has just been cut to a fraction of what it may have been.

was just think the same ! great machine but a masterpiece of bad timing given the news on Avadex approval

Possibly, but the bulk of Avadex is applied to cereals surely.
