Liquid Fert

[Farmer.sa]

Anyone on here using a flow/blockage monitor on there drill for liquid Fert systems? We run a JD 750a and the Fert system is well filtered but on low rates in the autumn do get the occasional blockage I know there are systems out there but was wondering how good they are.

not a problem we have ever had - we filter fert into and out of storage tanks and into bowser and again into the drill tank

Haven’t had any problem with fert as it’s relatively clean but need to flush pipes through after with clean water.

Not sure if this is available across the pond, but here in the states we use Surefire systems on our JD equipment. They have a system that can monitor liquid flow either across manifold sections or down to the individual seed boot. Seems to work pretty well. This system is designed to work with John Deere's greenstar. But is ISO compatible for other systems.
