using edge/trifluralin through an air cart?

[railway]

I'm trying to find out if there are any carts out there capable of metering out edge or bonanza dry granular herbicide through them?
My plan is to hook one up to a vertical tillage unit and use the tank to broadcast these products as well as possibly spreading sulphur, maybe seeding canola in wet spots, etc..

A new valmar is $18,000, and i cant get one till oct/nov. Also would like the versatility of spreading higher rates of fertilizer.

A neighbor told me he had an ezee-on tank (2175 i think?) that he used for this purpose, so i'm wondering if any roller-style metering system would work. Like the flexicoil 2320? Not sure how these dry herbicides work in a pressurized system.

Let me know if anybody out there has any experience with this, which systems work, and which dont?

I used to broadcast treflan and edge with a
Bourgault 2115.

I haven't seen many of those around, did it have
an auger system or a roller system for metering?

railway, seems to me that I remember seeing one, on consignment, advertised in Redhead(Estevan). Don't remember the model it was for, but think it was for a Flexicoil.

Any bourgault tank will meter granular herbicide. They use an metering auger, should have a double flighting in my opinion, but maybe not neccessary. I don't think you can meter sulper fines with any tank. Because of bridging problems. Need that Valmar system that meters with a drag chain. Not sure if any air tank uses that any more or if any did.

We use to use a beline to broadcast treflan product on in front of a medium duty cult. We also used it to seed canola. Not sure if it would work for fertilizer. Still have it and it could be mounted on a vertical tillage tool if interested.

20 series flexi had small 3rd tank option for that, had one on a 2320 with a 820 way back, had the deflectors on the front for granular, we built teesinto the primary lines and used it quite successfully with canola and granular innoculant.

Bourgault had an auger system. Double flighting
for sure. They also have a box to fit surrounding
the double flight auger for more accurate
metering of canola seed, and granular herbicides.
I never used fines. One guy used To spread fines
with a bulk spreader and disk markers . He was
the but of many jokes......until harvest time. Fines
really worked for him.

2320 Flexicoil with third tank will do the trick. I've got one for sale. I don't have the deflector kit but may be able to find one for you.

Seed and harvest from an airplane, thats
the only way ta go! F#$k everything
else........
