Measuring out of IBC’s

[FarmerDaveTheRave]

Same question please guys - could anyone let me know a potential supplier for bulk glyphosate please? Not getting any answers from our chem supplier. Thanks.

 

[Brisel]

Clinic Ace do ibcs. Ring around the suppliers like Agrii etc.

 

[FarmerDaveTheRave]

Tried a couple this morning - promises to call back and get the impression it’s a big ask. Will try Agrii - Thankyou for the reply.

Frontier do Motif in an IBC.

 

[FarmerDaveTheRave]

Thankyou

Just buy a Ad blue pump, that's all we use, IBC is a standard container so they all fit

 

[FarmerDaveTheRave]

That was my plan. Awaiting prices for IBC’s. Had one back at £2400 - think that’s typical of the 20l price offered on tff.

 

[Kidds]

I have read quite a few comments on here and elsewhere saying price is same no matter what quantity.

Whos selling glypho in ibcs please?

+1 who supplys in IBCs please!

 

[Farmer Roy]

Everyone . . .
Glypho was the first product we ever saw in IBCs over 20 years ago
In fact, “glypho” is the first thing that enters my mind whenever I see an empty shuttle ( IBC ), it is that entrenched in my memory

Staggered that IBCs for glypho in Britain are difficult to obtain.
Here in Canada 1000lt totes are the standard I would say with 450lt shuttles, 105lt barrels and still for small users 2x10lt in cardboard also available, although not all brands are available in all sizes. It sort of bugs me that the really competitive stuff all comes direct from China.
We use a ‘Sotera’ brand transfer pump for glypho and other chems from tote to handler/mixer powered by 12v from sprayer batteries. The flowmeter attached has quit this fall after about 6 years so currently post-harvest glypho is less accurate using just the graduation marks on chemhandler.

yeah, 1000 l is pretty much standard here for glypho in the grain / cotton areas
20 l would be in the minority here

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

The UN rating of an IBC means that it should survive a 1m drop onto its corner.

Twice.

I am confident they would easily do that

 

[Farmer Roy]

Just keep them out of the sunlight if you want to keep them for a number of years

Try Hutchinsons, they supply Scorpion in 1000l and also Round up Flex

We get motif one ibcs this year. Saves ones back. Just been dropping a pipe in which is probably very frowned upon so will be buying an ad blue type ibc pump for it.

 

[Robert K]

Did anyone find a decent pump for IBC's

I need something to do this aswell I don’t think dropping in a sprayer pipe is a good idea

I use old ones for moving water around, and they certainly don’t like the pallet fork going through them. Guess if it had £2500 worth of glyphosate in it I might be a bit more careful.
