Isn't the liquid fert pretty hard on the sprayer's condition? Doesn't that shit eat everything?

Sounds interesting and decreases the amount of filling time for your seeding operation.

Farmaholic has a valid concern, I would assume a pressure washer gets used quite often when spraying liquid sulphur?

What tips are you using?

Most sprayers have stainless or plastic tanks and fittings, so provided your not sloshing it all over the place, it shouldn't be a corrosion issue.

I have also noticed that UAN drifts very little compared to using water.
Furrow, do you notice that with the ATS?

Yup big diff in drift
Getting virtually none on sprayer.
I just gave the boons a quick wash down with the water truck and a fire nozzle . Washes off immediately. Only had to do it twice, mostly just fine dust around nozzles

Wise guy if you ever had a valid explanation for anything on here you might be taken seriously.

I never allow fertilizer in my sprayer. Good bye resale value.

Thought the fert burns the weeds folliage off before the glypho has a chance to translocate. Weeds come back.

My sprayer will still be worth more than some who travel at 20 mph and wreck their booms . Or run their sprayers through mud daily just to go straight through , they are liquid application units - not monster trucks . It's funny those guys who run the shit out of their stuff are the guys who have wheel motor issues and cracked booms - always the same guys .
Long story sort , I am not concerned one bit on my resale, I have only been slightly stuck once and booms never touch the ground on 30,000 AC with this one. Ie we have a lot of water here in places - even still now.

I did side by side spray with and without sulfur last fall - no diff in weed control. I was told by guys who do it the spring is no difference. So far the first stuff I did looks to be toast .
I also tried some sulfur in with round up and treflan ahead of peas.
