Central Ohio | If anyone needs to hear this, if you are on the fence about EZ Drops, just do it. Installed ours yesterday. Andy was very helpful and the kit was perfect. They check all the boxes. Stay in the canopy. Place fert right at the base of the plant. Light weight. Well made. Easily run 10-12 mph. Good support. Can run head high corn with ease. Can do 120’ I am sure but we are one doing 60’.
We are coming from homemade y drops. But after installing and running them, I doubt any of the other options are better.

Kansas | I agree 100%! We run 120 feet on a 4930 John Deere. Easy on and off too !! |
|

|
Central Ohio | Yes they are. What have you done if anything about west in the tips of the poly whips? Thanking about putting a short chunk of hose on them that is cheap and easy to replace each season. |

| 2nd this, work at Agco and have them on our sprayer there. Definitely like these over the 360 Y drops as you don’t have to worry about the bottom wings rusting off or getting damaged from hitting things. |

Nebraska | Thanks for the review i've been looking at these for awhile now and this sparked my brain tonight. Can you give me an approx. cost for a 60 foot setup on them on a self propelled sprayer? They look so easy to install and remove also which I like. |

When you do this, do you just fold the breakaway and then the inner- leaving the outer boom that folds back onto the inner boom out for transport? |

ncks | I ran a few hundred acres for the first time this year 120' on a miller nitro every other row. got along great if its good and smooth run 120 get into terraces or rough ground switch to 70 foot. 24 units to do 48 row 18k and change. wouldnt recommend anything else |

Central Ohio | When you fold in to 70’ what do you dimwits the outer drops? Flip them up? Take them off? |
|

|
ncks | when running with the outer folded in the just hang there sideways doesnt bother anything

Chebanse, IL..... | Asking anyone....
What happens in 30" rows if you have guess rows on the "odd" side of the field being less than 30" or actually crossing into the adjoining rows? Do they whips stay on the ground? Or will they ride up & burn the corn?
What gpa rates are you pumping through the drops?
Just asking. Thanks |

Central Ohio | They stay Down pretty well and wiggle through the rows. However they do ride up some.
We are running 30-35 gal |

NW central IL | they pivot side to side, the y of the drop is a plastic that will give. I bought a hagie and ran them on 700acres to try. pretty happy with them in use. half druel'd 32 down the spring to the puck. not bad enough to stop, supposed to take them up and he will reassemble them for next yr. I ran 8.5mph most the time from waist hight to 5.5-6ft before it rained. used them at 15 and 20gpa, slowed down for a neighbor that had a plugged nh3 knives that I went in and filled that section in at 30gpa for him.worked good. he has guys running up to 60-75gal through them, he said when I talked to him about the seeping drops

I'd say that with the rain that came, you had an almost perfect situation.
Was this your method of sidedress?
What's your boom setup? Width & # of drops? Do you drop every-other row?
If it hadn't rained for another 10 days, would you have been concerned about the N on the ground?
Thanks for info. |
