Measuring out of IBC’s

[Jack Russell]

We are probably going to get the roundup for dedicating the OSR in an IBC. Is it really just the wisdom fastran closed transfer system for these? Has anyone else got a better solution?

cheers

Pony flow meter.

I just cut part of the top out of a 10 litre can for decanting out of ibcs via the tap. Usually trace elements here.

If you have an air supply available, how about one of these? You can pump it straight into the induction bowl and save yourself the expense of the closed transfer kit.

Can you let me know Who sells those and how much or the correct reference to google please.

Buy the stuff in bags (10kg) as granules. Glyfos Dakar- concentrated solution so less volume to handle and very easy to pour out. Fast and no messing formulation, too. Widely compatible with a lot of other products so ideal for stubbles etc as well.

Whos selling glypho in ibcs please?

I just use a 10l bucket!

Closed transfer chem filling?

Does anyone use this? I thought about getting Glyphosate in IBC's but my agronomist reckons it's no cheaper What other chems are available in returnable containers?

is it any cheaper in ibcs
is the granules as good as a descent liquid formulation

The Ibc/s have gauges on them. Can’t see the point in buying high volume stuff in Ibc then using buckets, I’ve done it! Just suck straight out, pony flow to be more accurate.

Roundup power max granular in 10kg bags for the rape here, good stuff to work on with

Thanks for the replies. We sometimes use the granules but as good as they are I always worry it hasn’t mixed properly. The IBC is no cheaper than the equivalent product in 20lt. It just seems to make more sense to have it in bulk and suck out what we need.

I can see that and I like the idea of the environmental savings but what if the IBC of glyphosate leaked via faulty tap, damage, leak in pipe etc. Not sure it's worth the extra risk unless you know something about glyphosate being banned...

Granules are quite expensive by comparison with liquid 360 g/litre.

My understanding is that the glyphosate ibc are top emptying only so will require a pump.

Surprising that it's no cheaper per litre in the IBC.

Have been told they are only top emptying as well, was wondering if a Ad Blue pump would work.

 

[Farmer Roy]

Err, dunno about the UK / Euro, but here all our Ag chem shuttles / ibcs ( including genetic glypho & branded Royndup ) have a tap outlet at the bottom, as well as the top outlet
And yes, it is cheaper in bulk than in 20 l drums
And no 20l drums to rinse out or dispose of

I once dropped a full 1000 l shuttle of glypho, from a height of a metre

it deformed the outer metal cage

that’s all . . .

they are very tough. The biggest problem is the sunlight breaks down the plastic after a few years, if you are repurposing the old shuttles

You could siphon it ,just dont get a mouthful it might taste better than diesel or petrol though ?

You soon learn that trick when your putting in 150 litres plus of mag and man per fill up
