Liquid or anhydrous?

seedsman, how do you like the job your 1850 does seeding? are disk drills high maintenance? are your fields getting rough?

I don't see any problem with seed safety by going to the midrow solution with a.a. The only problem that I can see is trash clearence. Properly set up and maintaned, using the stealth side band opener works well with a.a.

r.reid, something to chew on.
Some local producers are going from MRB's to liquid N. They claim sigificantly less hp to pull the same footage.
Most guys with 50 ft MRB units reqire 400 hp . If you have the hp it may be a good option, but if you have to upgrade your tractor as well the costs will outstrip any advantage with trying to get good seperation with NH3(MRB's).

Lots of guys here use MRBs with anhydrous. A few use them with liquid. Liquid fertilizer is quite hard on the MRBs from what I've heard.

Freesaw...I like you idea. Very economical. Here is a question for you guys. What is the cost differance between liquid vs anhydrous/dry mix??
