What are the pros and cons of both? Currently looking at a caseih toolbar a 920 that uses just blades [Reply]   [No Email]

The only time I didnt brake something on a kniffed toolbar was in conventional tilled ground. [Reply]  [No Email]

They called it a "Hi-speed" applicator. After riding with the guy running it who happened to be a buddy of ours, I wasn't impressed much. If conditions weren't perfect it wouldn't seal, if you got over 4-5mph and the units got to bouncing it wouldn't seal. Then we had some corn go down in that field late in the season due to poor brace root depth. Whole plants went down with root balls attached in October. Not sure if it was related but didn't have problems anywhere else with that number corn where the NH3 was applied with a shank applicator. [Reply]  [No Email]

Does the disk go deep enough in your soil type, are their cover disks to seal the slot, and forth. 'Here' I see the blade used with liquid setups, haven't seen it with NH3. --->Paul [Reply]  [No Email]
