South Central MN | I don't run near the acres you do but this is exactly why I purchased my own sidedress rig. One fine fall harvest I noticed in one particular field that every 3rd round with my small 6 row head combine I was missing 10-20 or so bushels when compared to the previous rounds. Now I don't own a yield monitor but when you know what the tank holds and have been running that combine for many years you can get reasonably close guessing what the yield should be. So the pile being visibly less in the tank every 3rd round it wasn't hard to figure out that the topdress urea application was the culprit. Purchased the sidedress rig that December, and that streaking problem magically went away the next fall.
I'm surprised many spinner spreaders even get used for pre-plant anymore, here it is all air boom. I think some of the newer air boom rigs can cover 90' and will run as fast or faster than older spinner spreaders. Only time they drag out a spinner rig like that is for topdress on growing corn. They still do have pull type spinner spreaders you can borrow but then that puts the application into your hands. | |
