    Air is the best antifreeze. Anything left in lines has room to expand. 1 bad experience and haven't gone back.

      I'm with Macdon02, our current sprayer has air assist clean-out. I made an adaptor for our old one and hooked the shop air hose to it to purge the booms. Then(and now) we take every possible bung out. And the boom end caps, and there are many. Remove main filter cap and line strainer caps too.

      Is it too late for glyphosate? 😉 Hobby?

        I have used Hyboy antifreeze for 5 years. No problems so far.

            No problem.
            I have the air clean out option as well and still use it before adding the anti-freeze.

              Do you drain everything after?

                Oh no, this is the time of year for optimum control. You can really clean up your land spraying this time of year. If you mix in a new adjuvant called Accept, all you need is minimum 4 hours daylight. If you are buying generic glyphosate just go double the rate.
                You don’t want to miss any spray applications, it’s the most important activity on the farm. We have all seen those triangles where you miss with the sprayer. You don’t want to be doing that too many times or you won’t be farming for very long.
                I can’t believe you would even be second guessing that decision. Run that sprayer, if you’re making payments on it, make it work for you.

                  Seems I find the sarcasm funny when I solicit it. Where can I get "Accept", health food stores?

                      I dump it in the rinse tank, and then from there flush it through the rinse and sparge lines, boom and end nozzles. Then I go around and crack open every ball valve and let whatever runs out for a few seconds and close them.
                      There's going to be that 5-10 psi below your nozzle body check valves in the boom still. That way the lines have some space if that anti-freeze starts to gel and expand on those -40 nights in January.
                      Draining your booms at least to remove that bit of pressure also keeps your tips from dripping in the shed every time it warms up and expands the liquid.

                        I am glad you can understand it’s mostly sarcasm, or a parody of the retail industry and not so much an attack on you or the conventional farming.
                        Next year Bayersanto will have “Accept” surfactant in a new herbicide bundle for free but the seed price will go up by $0.25/pound
                        I am on the outside looking in. I note the conversations and tactics of the retail industry. Nothing has changed in 15 years. It’s a tough decision and the farmer has to decide to do it or don’t and either way he is writing the cheque.

                          Not sure if the statements in the photo are correct. At least they are will to put into print their thoughts.
