@4XSectQual What’s wrong with the sprayer?

[SprayJames @SprayerJames]

@DonWalinga @sprayfrank @thesprayman It can with a cheap pwm controller from Amazon

[SprayJames @SprayerJames]

@thesprayman Good to hear you are ok!

[SprayJames @SprayerJames]

@tiltturner @wgcgreens_brad I have a few used ones, if you are in a bind.

[SprayJames @SprayerJames]

Big shoutout to the crew at Diamondback golf course. Keeping their old 5500 sparkling. Remember, a clean sprayer is a happy sprayer!

[SprayJames @SprayerJames]

Spraying greens can be dangerous, plan ahead!. Tune in to my webinar tomorrow to learn more.

[SprayJames @SprayerJames]

Hot sauce and donuts ???
Tune in for the ALLTURF webinar series to find out why.

Finding #solutions at the Allturf Western Symposium

[Alex McNeill @Alex_Allturf]

Excellent turnout for our first ever Allturf Western Symposium. A massive thank you to everyone who attended, all of our speakers, and Steve Hatch for hosting us. @Allturf_Ltd @ambassadorgolf

[SprayJames @SprayerJames]

Pop by and say hello I’ll be at the booth all day

I was today years old when i learned that you can use drone imaging and photogrammetry to calculate orchard canopy volume. https://t.co/ZGgMsKtGbn . @Spray_Guy

[SprayJames @SprayerJames]

@thesprayman @Spray_Guy Very true, the Flowmeter can only tell volume of liquid per min. Worn or clogged nozzles will will mess with your caught volume.

[SprayJames @SprayerJames]

Sometimes Flowmeter wear isn’t obvious. Even the sapphire bearings can wear and cause inaccurate readings. New upstream assembly is on he left

[SprayJames @SprayerJames]

@Spray_Guy Thanks, now I’m deep down a sprayer rabbit hole 🎃, why are rates still 2d and not gallons per cubic acre of canopy?

[SprayJames @SprayerJames]

@hamiltonian8 Brand new on the left, the one on the right is a couple years old. abrasive products can lower the life expectancy

[SprayJames @SprayerJames]

@Spray_Guy I’m curious how its done on an orchard sprayer! Turf is like a 2d surface so the math is easy

[SprayJames @SprayerJames]

@Spray_Guy Desired rate(rate computer displays) = D
Speed (or simulated speed) = S
Nozzle spacing (cm for metric inches for imperial) = N

GPA= ((DxSxN)/5940) x 128 (to get ounces) / 2 (for a 30 second catch)

GPK= ((DxSxN)/136) x 128 /2

LPH= ((DxSxN)/60000) /2 (will be in litres)

👍

[SprayJames @SprayerJames]

@Spray_Guy A catch test to compare what the computer thinks your Rate is to what is actually coming out. I catch for 30 seconds and use this formula:
