If it’s wet or some rain after harvest to mellow things out👍If it’s dry and hard might not be so good.

Freeze dirt to the disk might create big problems in the fall or early spring when the soil is cold.

That may well be an issue , could be a sweet set up for liquid N . But fertilizer and that many bearings might be an issue too
Be a fast efficient way to get N down though
They should pull easy

Does anyone see any hope for 2023 fertilizer prices?

[SASKFARMER]

No, because the Fert Companies can throw a dart a board, and thats the price were ****ed.

Or something build in canada

Or other company

Bourgault had a disc unit we considered at one point for fall applications and tame pastures The model is a 8925not sure if they make it anymore.

What I would love to find is a 65 ft colter system that I could put ammonia down at 15 in spacing and go about 8 mph.

Understand the Liberals have changed the small business threshold from 10-15 million to 10-50 million. Used to be that by the time assets of a corp reached 15 million small business allowance was completely gone. Now it will start being reduced after 10 million and gone at 50. If I read things right.

In a perfect world the disks would put the nh3 8 inches deep.
Salford 2100 series disk and shank units seem to be close to ideal


Disks,
- ground too hard, dry, wont go in
- too much straw, wont go in
- too many bearings
- the faster you go the more disk angle or weight you need to keep them in the ground

Only solution is narrow knife opener,
- pressurized system for consistency and early morning starts, cold weather applications ( ie snow on the ground)
- big tanks
- fall is the only time to apply nh3 or risk supply, weather, and price issues

What you want to do SF3 sounds appealing.
There have been a few attempts at coulter applicators for at least 30 yrs.
I don't see any big success there with NH3.
Big investment for a prototype unit.
