Cool project we did

In order to keep up with the increasing market demand for its #wine barrel aluminum racks, local manufacturer @HamillMac needed to fully automate its welding process - they turned to @NCResearchInnov for their expertise & help. Read the full story⬇️

@ethanolcowboy @jasonmauck1 @GerardBirkbeck @DawnEquipment @JoeatDawn Should note we also have a successful setup with the rolling wheel config you speak of just explaining the thought behind the pic posted #60000psi

[I-Cubed @Cubed_I]

@ethanolcowboy @jasonmauck1 @GerardBirkbeck @DawnEquipment @JoeatDawn We have played with that plate since this pic and have found a config which will slide without issue. Remember ideally your ground is already covered with residue which would help in swamp as well. The seed depth in that pic is determined by adj bottom of keel to skid distance.

[I-Cubed @Cubed_I]

@GerardBirkbeck @jasonmauck1 @DawnEquipment 1 Depends on your perspective, how much do you spray? If using that tool allows for proper seeding weigh the benefits
2 and 3 Not a problem, we can incorporate granular products as well.
Those volumes of "fluid"are a "general" range that you would be looking at for success

[I-Cubed @Cubed_I]

@ethanolcowboy @jasonmauck1 @GerardBirkbeck @DawnEquipment @JoeatDawn KISS method, trying to get away from bearings/rotation. Mud sticks to wheels and residue wraps. #60000psi

[I-Cubed @Cubed_I]

@GerardBirkbeck @jasonmauck1 @DawnEquipment Also related, the smaller the trench you create the smaller the problem you have to solve. #60000psi

@ethanolcowboy @jasonmauck1 @GerardBirkbeck @DawnEquipment @JoeatDawn

[I-Cubed @Cubed_I]

@GerardBirkbeck @jasonmauck1 @DawnEquipment @GerardBirkbeck Volume of water required is inline with liquid fert app rates. Does NOT have to be "water". See below.

[I-Cubed @Cubed_I]

@jasonmauck1 @GerardBirkbeck @DawnEquipment 2. @jasonmauck1 @JoeatDawn See below running our 2 row test rig setup with tine setup (right lighter row) compared to double disc setup (left darker row). Same seed depth placement. Much less disturbance, much greater moisture retention. #60000psi

[I-Cubed @Cubed_I]

@jasonmauck1 @GerardBirkbeck @DawnEquipment Absolutely @jasonmauck1. Disturbance is greatly reduced. Angled discs create a lot of lifting action as he has shown. The jet can introduce whatever product itself and/or follow with a tine (doesn't lift soil) or reduced angle disc setup to minimize disturbance/blowout.

[I-Cubed @Cubed_I]

@Texasagronomo Great pic, looks like a very drought resilient plant there. We get most excited by root pics! Tease the roots to go down via decompacted path and fert BELOW seed. #60000psi

[I-Cubed @Cubed_I]

@GordSpeksnijder Hi Gord, excellent question. PTO currently to date (smaller test units). 1 0.008" orifice requires 12-16 hp to operate @ #60000psi. Depending if using hydraulic intensifiers or directly driven pump to create the pressure. Can be powered other ways/configurations as well.

[I-Cubed @Cubed_I]

FACT: #plantgreen is able to keep bio action going, keeping the soil covered and many more benefits. Hairpinning, down pressure, closing the trench, all become concerns

SOLUTION: #60000psi planting technology can deal with all the typical drawbacks of #plantgreen
#ontag @Cubed_I

[I-Cubed @Cubed_I]

@ethanolcowboy So the common misconception or fear of a "false" trench bottom is negated entirely. The trench opening created for the seed itself is still created mechanically. Thanks for the questions #60000psi

[I-Cubed @Cubed_I]

That is the exact response we want to hear!

[Tregg Cronin @5thWave_tcronin]

This is hurting my brain in a fantastic way.

[I-Cubed @Cubed_I]

@ethanolcowboy 2 yes we can and have used discs successfully in a retrofit scenario. We have also developed a tine based unit to work in conjunction with the #60000psi system well. Orifice is typically 0.008" (paper thin) therefore seeds depth placement are NOT effected by fluid jet cut.

[I-Cubed @Cubed_I]

@ethanolcowboy Hi Tom, in short no. It actually relieves compaction, a LOT of air is carried entrained in the stream which when enters the soils adds air to open up pores. The jet itself only has about 4 pounds of reaction force as a relatively low volume (therefore mass) is exiting the nozzle
