[QUOTE="Steve Wilson, post: 662249, member: 8362"] There is some good news to report, at least. The 190XT is running fine after the mechanic cleaned out the relief valve on the injector pump. The problem is that the portion of the "Outback" that my chucklehead buddy burned off has become a weed field now. Nary a blade of original pasture grass survived, which was primarily fescue, with some orchard and timothy here and there. The 30-20-20 of Super Urea really kicked the unburned sections in high gear. It was a total train wreck. Existing vegitation now thick and tall. The weeds in the burned section (smartweed, ragweed, wild barley and some sort of warm season grass that has blades like crabgrass but the wrong color) were going nuts. The broadleaves were aproaching 8 inches tall, wild barley had formed seedheads but still green. I could part the existing grass and weeds and see my little teeny canarygrass, timothy and clover plants struggling for space and light. Gonna have to do something here, something drastic to save as much as I can.....hopefully. So, I fired up the field sprayer and sprayed the entire mess with 1 quart Round Up per acre at 15 GPA. Hoping that the canopy would protect the underlying seedlings. What a disaster. It might well all be killed. So I ordered enough hybrid pear millet to reseed it this weekend, since I have the county's no till drill reserved anyway to drill millet elsewhere around the farm. Guess I'll see what situation I have to deal with when I get to the farm Friday. Uggggggg, [/QUOTE]
