Slicker than a Yes album.
We're using a T-band attachment http://www.schaffert.com/home.html to spray the 3 liquids before the closing wheels. Works good, but we did have a mixing problem. Capture, Harness and 28% to carry it. 5 gals to the acre. It would foam up, or not mix up right, so we added a (? can't think of the name) so everything would settle down. I can find out the name if you want. We were using the Capture system electric pump, but it won't keep up now with the thicker 28%. We plumbed in a small orbit motor which also doubles as the agitator. When we were planting soybean stubble and corn on corn, it would have been nice to use the Greenstar monitor to keep track of which concentration of Capture we had on what field. This year we should be able to record what the Raven is putting out and if we decide to change rates on fields that have peskier levels of bugs.

nefarmer Are you using the Redball monitors for your liquids now? They have a manual shutoff that would enable you to turn off rows when they are up in the air. Plus, it makes it very easy to troubleshoot rows that are plugged or spraying funny.
