    Been doing this for 5 years or so with this sprayer , never an issue with the right nozzles and a wash when done 👍😎.
    My sprayer in better shape than most at 2000 hrs . My last one I had ran for 5 years years as well and I think the paint still ok on it , must have 3500 on er now I would think .

    Not for everyone but works for us .

      Other than the volume, it works good . Full sectional control, playing with variable rate now . Fast and can get work done when you don’t dare with dry , even with a floater.
      Makes seeding much easier and more efficient. But if you not set up for liquid it may be a pita

        How many lbs/ac of actual S are you putting on and how many acres does a sprayer tank do at that rate?

        What wind can you spray up to?

        I don’t know anything about liquid fertilizer and currently put down all my fertilizer with the drill. Have been thinking about spreading dry ams, but perhaps liquid S would work.

        Also looked at bio sul, but not sure if it has long term S release.

          Putting on anywhere between 8-12 US gal / ac , so 18-25 Lbs S
          You get 15-20 N as well .

          1200 gal sprayer I can get anywhere from 100 to 120 ac for the rates we use.
          Right now I am using T Jet Tri stream nozzles. Spray 16-18 mph . Can apply up to 30-40 k winds . Drift is not a worry with stream nozzles but too much wind can cause a mess on the booms a bit.
          One thing I also do is use flat fan .08 at 10 gal/ ac with round up for burn off.
          You can use less round up and it works very fast .
          I have even used round up / treflan and sulfur together ahead of canola or peas . Wind is obviously more of and issue with the flat fans , no different than regular spraying .

          Most liquid S is 15-0-0-20

            Thank you.

            Can you use the aim command?

            So you use just fertilizer with the roundup for preburn, no water at all?

              No I don’t use the AIM , shut them off and use the normal nozzle in front.
              We need to change a couple settings in the product control.
              I will pm you the settings we use. Keeps the sprayer working effectively without AIM when using liquid N or S.
              You don’t need water at all when mixing round up . I just direct inject round up then load sulfur .

                    I wonder if any wild oats that managed to sprout or any sprouted volunteer cereals, flax or canola can survive minus 7, minus 8 with wind chill. It's been freezing here since 9 p.m. last night. Probably will be freezing here for at least 12 hours before the plus temp is reached.

                      I know one year the -10 nights for 6 nights in a row turned the kochia white.
                      I think and canola that has “sprung” with these temps could be in trouble. Hutts have a good 800 ac in, would be a taf bit worried.
                      But these companies have a re-seed program.
                      They should have strict guidelines as to when seeding canola should actually takes place.
                      They do have guidelines when chemicals should be applied.

                        Inch of snow overnight, soil temps near ZERO now. Forecast for more next 3 days.
