Subject: RE: Field IQ calibration number (dry fert)



If you have a portable density scale, you can fudge a number reasonably accurately once you have a few cal numbers that work and know the densities of those products.

Also note that product densities change as often as loads from the plant. Not much, but depending on where our fertilizer comes from, it can change a product's density and overall cal number. Sometimes it's enough I need to re calibrate.

When running it for fertilizer as a spreader, I would enter a density, but always chased calibrations. If I messed with density numbers instead of just the cal number, I was constantly chasing accuracy. Now I just choose a base density for each product anyway and change the cal number as needed. It's faster and easier, so you aren't missing much by not being able to enter a density number IMO.
