WC Mn/Dakotas | My pic is a bad example. Normally the tip is about an inch or 2 above the dirt when running on level ground. We always run an inhibitor with urea to give 7-10 days if protection against volitalizing. Some fert gets covered when the dirt falls back down. But you do see a lot of the dirt hitting the stream as it flies off the how. So you see wetted dirt in the how "track". I would like to try mounting a tip on the back side of a long spring harrow. Thinking that would scratch open a trench behind the how and act as a "shield" from the dirt flying off without deflecting all the dirt so most of it should land back on top of the how track and harrow scratch and cover the fert better. That's my theory anyway.
The reality is urea with an inhibitor on the surface is less prone to volitalize than urea without inhibitor and covered in damp soil an inch or even 2. Urea needs a 1/4-1/3" of rain to be safely incorporated or placed min of 3-4" deep to begin with.
At 80+ acres per hour capabilty we try to wait before a rain to some extent.
Just changed to a new Hypro 9303 HM1 pump and pwm and the green various rate spray valves and it is varying 10-55gpm very nicely. Have to slow down a little at 45-55gpa but if we took time to adjust pwm calibatrion better and ran 1" feed hose to the 4 sections instead of 3/4" I think it would be PERFECT.
