Which ones have you got?Use Lechlers here too and really rate them.

Not 100% sure. Think there maybe just IDKs they aren't the really coarse spray pattern that some folk use.Which ones have you got?
Got rid our Guardian Air 03s last year. Now on BFS 03s.I use blue BFS nozzles, 120l/ha at 3 bar 12km in the main. Used to be on lilac Guardian Air but the nozzles block far to easily with tiny specks and buggering the spray pattern. Also use small blue top hat filters.

0.35 GAs at 150l here or 0.35 Defys, if I need coverage and the weather allows it.What you’ve got there is good. I use 025s and 100 l/ha to make each load go a bit further.
Same here, get good results from GAs but every day's a school day. Also aware of the fact that the flat fan boys will be quietly laughing at us fashion victims rushing headlong in to the next trend.It’s ok guys no need to fall out there invariably never is a true best nozzle a lot of horses for courses we tend to use guardian air for most jobs but wo7ld be interested in knowing the price of the ex ray bfs nozzles just out of interest although I have just replaced a se5 of guardians so not needing new ones for a bit
All herbicides at 120l ha?
Part the reason I got rid of them.While we are talking Guardian Airs how do people go about dismantling them to clear a blockage. Is there a special tool rather than a pen knife which inevitably cuts the spurs off in time?
Take nozzle out of body, then push it back in the wrong way, ie from the out side so it acts like a holder. Then pliers on the 2 tabs and twist slowly and pull. Seems to work for me.Part the reason I got rid of them.
Get a 6" piece of multicore copper flex, strip half the insulation off then use one of the wires to poke through the nozzle, saves dismantling them and twisting off those little tabsWhile we are talking Guardian Airs how do people go about dismantling them to clear a blockage.

I'm far too stingy to use fuse wire!Fuse wire here
BFS 04s Air bubble jets. Have now got some BFS Exray XCs one angled forward & one straight down. Haven't tried them yet.What’s everybody running for blight spraying 200ltr, currently on guardian air twins 05, just wondering if there’s anything better out there..?
