I saw one of these at the auction jltrent mentioned in his post. Has anyone used one of these and if so do they work as well as simply spraying on pastures?
It doesn't take but a little roundup to kill most weeds/Johnson grass. Set it just above the grass line and a couple years of applying will really thin the weeds and Johnson Grass. Spraying is better, but spraying will more than likely kill clover etc. and the wick want.sstterry":mb5fqdl9 said:I saw one of these at the auction jltrent mentioned in his post.

I got there are 8:15A after walking through the flea market right before you get there and stayed until about 2:30P then came home and follow some on the internet the rest. Any tractor in decent shape sold good I thought. It was a very hot day. Did you make it?

It works, but it is a lot of work to get up up and going. We have wiped a bunch of JG, and most has died. If you have a lot of big patches, it works great and is worth the effort. You need to wipe two directions, to get both edges of the leaves....

I was wiping Remedy and 2,4D on JG and wooley croton for the most part.
I think maybe in a row crop scenario where the weeds are up above the just emerged crop, they would work pretty good.

Fabric wrapped or just the little tiny holes in pvc?
Where did you get that set up for the Gator? I have a few hills that I can get over with the Ranger but not a tractor.Fire Sweep Ranch":xc0mqspp said:greybeard":xc0mqspp said:Is that one gravity or pump pressure fed?

It is gravity, and fabric wrapped. The biggest pain is getting the fabric primed. Once it is primed, it works great!
