1. Still awake,Dad worked for Jarvis bros from 47 to 59,then someone else for a while,then he got his block in Heathcte rd,,,Omahuri now.We had a fruit fed sprayer with American 32 inch hi velocity fan,a v6 Ford motor,n propellor agitation by far the best for oil or copper I reckon.Did 25 years not bad.Class 14a Hastings silt loam.Beats Aussie sand,,oh p.s.The 50/60s USA made bean (red)motorised sprayers were so powerfull on full throttle theyed rip young foliage of pears,had ta throttle back a bit.Bloody spraying.
2. Sorry insomnia,no deer eh?Need it for outbuidings.Reckon I saw a bit of Evans n onion man RJF.Trout in those spring fed drains.What was a big cropping place on Raupare and ??corner had six springs.Did cropping in there once for Bearsleys.Ryans have a rogue bore constantly running to the drain.Gudsells home,14 foot head on filler tank.But end of Twyford rd would meed priming in the dry.Been working in Nth Victoria,all channel water from the Murray for irrrigation,dirty n full of carp!Some wells a bit salty,use once then three from the channel.Different scene.Still a lot of locally made stainless steel tandem fan motorised sprayers used,a very big low pressure pump.Do a lot of 4 x concentrate.A 1500acre cannery orchard uses them,tandem fan 100hp huge pump they go faster than anything Ive seen,So market fruit mostly sprayed at night,heat russet.Nostalgia got us on a roll.
3. Same w sylvan airblast,An open case or same?,A 90/105 Same on a hardi?euro low volume thing,speed matters then!
4. I am old school,I can drive into a row with a big motorised sprayer(full dilute).Using a grey fergy w no speedo,n set my speed using a wristwatch,ie how many trees passed in 30seconds?Calibration,hop off,too wet speed up,not dripping slow down.Yea Iv used modern pto air blast,but no gps screen.Old school just use a face respirator,(u can c,sun glaring on a wet visor?)if you are driving into the wind take it off,put on for corners n tail wind.I never drove w gloves either,wash face n hands each fill.My record,12 tanks on a 2000cropliner with old F 3000,,,just liquid fugicide,quick fill,,,in 12 hrs,.3000 so puny Id leave the well with the pressure off,speed,That was at Spackmans..Most mod? A 720 cropliner on a 62 hp F 4110,medium pitch,but she drove it.Those old orange Aussie metters good too.Aaah lorsban n oil,spring smell!
