West central Ohio | Running a pull type FAST 1000 gallon 11 coulter applicator. Apply 1 1/2 rate on end coulters. Has Clymer coulters with narrow knives and active down pressure on wings. Seldom need to use down pressure. Rides well on 14.9/46 tires. Run 6 to 10 mph applying 30 to 43 gallons 32% with John Blue pump in no till. Pull it with 2wd Deere 7830 with EZ steer on RTK. No problems plugging in soy stubble. I could see where stones could be a problem with the knives. We have few stones bigger than a volleyball. Bent 2 knives as they have worn thin. Have about 2500 acres on rig and it will soon be time for new knives and coulters. Sure beats the splatter and spatter injectors on the Blue Jet I used before. Blue Jet unit was ok, just didn't like their injector or knife setup. My next one will have hyd driven pump and a Raven controller. | |
