We and many others are having real problems with Bruising this year so far.
The best thing to do is a 20mm irrigation the night before. Any longer than that and it's dried up again.
The problem is water is not best available as small drains choked at this time of year, also the boards keep emptying them for cleaning works.
So starting at front. Topper set fast and as low as poss.
Digger web set at a speed to keep full.
Main Webb set at same speed as digger.
1st halum roller set in transfer ( tried low mid high ) high looks best. Spray bar added to 1st Halum today.
Looks good if we need to extract with it again.
2nd main web rubber coated.
2nd halum roller set to transfer ( tried low mid high )
Multi Sep 2 x spray bars set steep clod rollers down gap small / Med.
Fitted Pressure gauge on cab so driver can keep eye on Water.
Grimme Varitron 220
Digger web 40% main 42% 2nd main 50% Speed 4 / 4.5 K
Still getting to much damage ex Hot Box.
This is less on lower DM crop more on higher DM crops. As you would expect.
Other than rain any idea's please.
Raining now but not much.
Ps. The Spray bar on the Haulm roller looks very good. Wish it was on from day 1.
Got the cloddy fields still to do. Done all the easier land.
Thanks in advance.
