20 Miles West of Indianapolis Indiana | New to me 1200 gallon pull type sprayer.
100 gallon freshwater tank on it and inductor.
Just getting my bearing strait on it this fall with fall burndown. I am SOOO intimidated by cleaning out a sprayer going from beams to corn or this fall burndown of 24D/Dicamba to enlist beans next year. (There’s a good chance I’ll still hire out my pres and not use it till post next year).
What have you all done to make cleaning out and run any sprayer more efficient and better? For example, I got some today and flushed out with clean water. Then ran a tank cleaner and household ammonia and roundup through it some along with just 300 or so gallons and flushed out booms and left that in the tank/hoses to try and draw out the dicamba out of the rubber hoses. My plan is to let that sit for a few days over the holiday and next time it’s above freezing dump that out and run a tank cleaner and ammonia again and do a couple rinses of it, and then winterize it. (It’s in my insulated shop now).
Probably what I’ll do in the spring is run it over some corn ground and spray a tank load of roundup to clean it again before going to post beans.
This is probably all great overkill, but I honestly just don’t know what I’m doing when it comes to this. |
What have guys done to make cleaning/rinsing sprayer out easier ?
