    The Blackberry Control Thread

    And Analysis Paralysis enters the chat. Really interesting video. I'll point out that they are able to spray a relatively large droplet size at high water rates, both of which greatly decrease wind drift and also improve wetting of the entire plant. Also, if you think that you're going to be...

    The Blackberry Control Thread

    I'm sure your downwind neighbors will be glad to hear they and their property will be receiving your overspray. All of your overwrought drama about spraying your mess evidently doesn't extend to them.

    The Blackberry Control Thread

    You let the place go to the dogs, not me. You’re trying to repair eight years of your neglect, not mine. If you spray a hundred acres twice at $15 an acre, that’s three grand plus chemical. Call it $5k all in, and it will be done. History as a guide, your DIY effort will end with nothing...

    The Blackberry Control Thread

    Since it comes from me, you will doubtless ignore this out of hand. I’m gonna say it anyway: hire the co-op to spray this. They’ll do a thousand times better job, it’ll be done in two hours, and you’ll be out from under the gun. I know whereof I speak: when we moved to our place, there was a...

    The Blackberry Control Thread

    Or…. When you don’t mow, spray, graze, or cut hay on a piece of land for eight years, could it be that the brush takes over?

    The Blackberry Control Thread

    Why don’t you hire the co-op to apply your chemical, too? It’s not going to do you any good in the jug, and their equipment works. I’d hire somebody to mow it with a big batwing, and as soon as it was recovering from that, I’d have the co-op spray it. This analysis paralysis is how you get to...

    Well pump popping breaker

    Nothing worse than chasing gremlins headed into a holiday. I think MarkB is on to something regarding the voltage drop. I would have thought your installer measured amp draw as part of startup, and he maybe probably did. Inrush current has certainly been an issue on different projects in my...

    Variable speed motor question

    I would tend to agree, except his original issue was excessive noise.

    Variable speed motor question

    All I did was search for his part number. The mfgr shows a high speed version, which he has, and a medium speed, both available on Amazon.

    Finally in the Field

    So it’s almost as if they found and addressed issues that came up after manufacture like, say, guys that want to bale long stems the size of a pencil that have laid on the ground and been rained on and dried out three or four times? Shame on them for not planning for baling hay that isn’t worth...

    Finally in the Field

    I think I would probably paint the roller and sprinkle the sand on while the paint was wet, rather than try to mix the two and apply the mixture. You want to spend nothing and get everything, and in my experience that trick never works. You bought the baler you could afford in a hurry, and “act...

    Finally in the Field

    I'm very sorry for the loss of your dog. They are the best creatures on the planet. As the husband of a vet, I do want to say that I have heard many times about difficult eathanasia, and it seems to me that it can often be associated with an animal that is grievously debilitated. I don't know...

    Sticker Shock

    So the guy you wound up using made two trips to your house before he was done doing the job and still charged you $150 all in. He only lost about $200 doing your work.

    Anybody Ever Try to Feed Goldenrod?

    @farmersamm - How are the cows doing on this feed?

    Preliminary Workup

    i think you are flirting with disaster here. Moving a fabricated wheeled assembly with a load suspended from it on sloped, uneven ground is a very tall order. Every force on it is going to try and fold it up. Even something as simple as a flat tire could be life or death.
