Oswald No-Till Farm Cleghorn, IA | Greetings,
The last two years I have run a DC electric Hypro roller pump. I believe it is the higher flow/lower pressure peak model. It works well but does take at least #10 wire. I couldn't get a large enough electric diaphragm pump to put on 10 gpa 28%/thiosul mix on my 12 row planter at 5-5.5 mph. It might be maxed out for a fast moving 24 row @ 15 gpa.
I use a standard pressure relief/regulating valve (teejet) at the tank so there is only one hose going back to the planter. The pump sets underneath the nose tank on my tractor as my planter is semi-mounted.
Not sophisticated but it works.
We don't have many acres with point rows so I am not running row shutoffs on anything.
