[QUOTE="ewald, post: 1821042, member: 33154"] I have been using liquid N for 15 years - would agree with what has been said about logistics and accuracy - compared to a basic spinner you can be far more accurate both on rates and placement. Be aware that the application cutoff line will be obvious if your tramlines are not accurate (I have sometimes had a double dosed strip between bouts) and tapered garings at ends will either be double or nothing - there is no feathering effect that you get with a spinner. I have always used dribble bars (BFS and Chafer) - just be careful about breakage as they can hang below the boom - have had few problems with scorch. Another advantage is zero wastage - you don't have the problem of where to put the last half bag at the end of the field - it can be pumped straight into the storage tank I wouldn't worry about corrosion - my old Gem sprayer looks much the same for rust now as 10 years ago - I do wash it, but not obsessively! Some years it can be expensive relative to urea - with an owned tank you are not obliged to use it every year if the price is wrong. [/QUOTE]
