The new Profihopper PH1500 gets out in the field

Following on from its public showing at IOG Saltex 2018, the new Profihopper PH1500 SmartLine is now out in the field. The Profihopper concept incorporates a clean-cutting, out-front, horizontal SmartCut flail which mows, shreds the grass stalks into manageable pieces, before depositing them into a mechanical auger transfer system.

Individual nozzle shut-off comes to mounted sprayers as well as trailed and self-propelled models

Many crop protection sprayers on the market still feature the common part-width section control via a central valve chest. Often here the width of each part-width section is 3 – 5 m. When utilising a part-width shut-off system that is manually actuated by the driver, having smaller part-width sections, due to the lack of accuracy of the switch points, does not make sense.

As the nitrogen content depends on the product being used – maybe a home-mixed liquid urea or propriety brand, but possibly with added sulphur - this will influence...

Nozzles should hit the spot

With chemical costs being the biggest share of variable cost expenditure for arable farmers, it is important that the stuff is applied to the target and at the right time.

There is now time, in the run up to harvest, to contemplate those bits of soil husbandry that have been needing attention. Following on from a wet winter some land drains will have been running, hopefully, for the first time in a year or two? If not then the first port of call might be to look at ditch levels, are they sufficiently low enough so not to cover the outlets and, if so, then some remedial work with the digger needs to be planned after harvest.
