Updated sprayer hygiene and winter maintenance advice launched
Last week we launched an updated best practice advice video highlighting the benefits of good sprayer hygiene. The video is presented by independent spray application specialist Tom Robinson and farm foreman Andrew Myatt. It has been created with operators in mind, showing in detail how to dismantle, replace and reassemble the wearing parts of the sprayer that require attention during winter maintenance.
December and January are the most popular months for machinery maintenance, and Andrew demonstrates how he uses the time to focus on servicing components which most frequently come into contact with chemicals. A new addition for the video this year is the servicing of a Ramsay pressure set – more commonly known as a Ramsay box – and Andrew’s approach to replacing the pistons in the nozzles of his sprayer. He also shares how to service his machine’s pump. Out in the field, there is a demonstration of Andrew’s post-application washout procedure, rinsing, and a general inspection of the key parts of the machine.
There is a main video, together with a series of shorts, depending on the time operators have available. The videos include Corteva’s Inatreq™ best practice application advice. Watch the trailer here.
