Seems farmer-owned liquid applicators are becoming more popular...might be a here thing. F.A.S.T. is selling quite a few in this area. A few yrs back we were sidedressing (injecting w/a liquid injector tip) w/a mounted bar, vs the pull-types FAST etal are now selling. There were a few problems associated w/sidedressing liquid that may have been corrected by now? Or-do they still exist?

Spatter-We tried lo-press (20#?) med press & hi press (80#). All seemed to give us spatter at times depending on how rough the dirt was, whether you hit rocks, or how windy it was. Does this bother anyone?

Re. spatter, I understand that now a few/some/many are utilizing a small liquid knife that follows immediately behind the coulter to place the liquid a couple inches below the surface. Yetter used to have something like that for their planter starter fert. coulter. But, keeping it clean was sometimes a problem if soil was wet/trashy. They even had a knife that bolted to the coulter. But it could still slide the coulter in some conditions. Is that a problem w/knives?

Pumping speed. Seems it used to take much longer to pump UAN (we had 28 & 32) than just water. You could easily eat your dinner while filling 1000 or 1200 gal tank. I see FAST now has 1600 gal tank. Can anyone fill these quickly?

Wing penetration. In hard soils, the wings would sometimes "ride up". There just wasn't enough weight out there to push in the # of coulters trying to ride up. Is that a problem for anyone?

Rust. You'd park applicator @ night & the next a.m. it looked like it had been sitting out for 30 yrs on the deck of an ocean freighter. Is this a long-term problem?

Any experiences either way? Thanks
