| I have made a homemade sidedressing rig a few years back. I hang saddle tanks on the 4630 to carry 400 gallons. I used an old Taylor Made culivator and hung 13 yetter 2995 knives off of a planter. They were in a pile at a farm auction that someone said they were useless. I have never had one plug up in 10 years. Not even on the planter. I sidedress 12 rows and the two outside coulters put on half rate. I have tee jet orifaces on a wet boom I made. I run 19 pounds of pressure with a ace centrifical pump. This puts on 35 gallons at 5 mph. If i need 50 gallons I have the orifaces for that also. I never get a drop of 28 anywhere because if goes right through the knife and into the ground about three inches deep. I sidedress three hundred acres of corn a year and takes about three days. (Moving around from field to field.)
I pump the 28 from a Co-op tank pulled with the pickup. it fills both tanks from the bottom. I really like the rig because it runs a very minimal amount of corn over. I can usually turn in about 8 or 10 rows in the end rows. If you get out and sidedress when the corn is about 3 to 4 inches tall the corn will stand back up.
Just have the small guy does it!
