    glyphosate and 24D mix Expiration?

    I agree with you somewhat but I was assuming, a near empty tank after RoundUp would only leave a trace amount of it. After you refill the tank with water for a 2,4D spray, that trace amount would not effectively hurt a thing. Now the (full strength) residue left in the spray boom, that is...

    glyphosate and 24D mix Expiration?

    Problem would happen if you were to use the tank AFTER spraying 2,4D (you clean like you normally would) then use the sprayer on a sensitive crop like like cotton. You *might* get it clean enough but it takes just molecules of 2,4D to screw up some plants. If you are using the tank to kill...

    Maintenance Questions

    As long as you clock in 10 hours per month, you're good. Remember the bouncing across a field = loader work hours = Pin Wear. Those pins are under pressure as you drive and bounce around. There's no cushioning, so if it's metal on metal, there will be wear.

    glyphosate and 24D mix Expiration?

    Any rubber hose would need to be replaced. It takes a molecule of 2,4D to screw up certain plants. Cotton is super sensitive... The tank should be able to be cleaned. Pretty sure it's still usable as a weed killer.

    Rebuilding your Tractor ?

    What you first need to do is check your PSI for your system. Kubota "usually" sets their pressure on the lower side of the scale. My guess is most companies do that... Gauge and a quick connect to hook into the system or "T" into a line, just use hydraulic connections to be safe...

    Rebuilding your Tractor ?

    Tractors are built with "safety" margins... you start lifting more weight with the FEL and you'll turn over easier... You want more power, put a turbo on the engine and crank up the hydraulic pressure, which can be done, until it blows up... Then you can buy a new tractor with bigger...
