had a new pressure control valve fitted rectory to gem sapphire as it wasn’t working when I bought the machine. Sprayed about 80ha all fine. Now I’m getting the l/ha rate jumping all over the place on the delta 34 screen. The pressure on the gauge remains steady. So it’s not the new pressure...

Thinking of going back to 24m from 36m. My boom height control system on my 36m is woeful and needs a big upgrade which is huge money so I’m thinking of going back to 24m which would also allow me to go back to granular fert instead of liquid (I’ve posted a thread on that in the cropping...
