Plant Back Restrictions

Looking to overseed my Timothy later this year, but am ready to hit the pasture with some herbicide to control some broadleaf a coming in since taking off the hay.

Plant back restrictions: How long do you wait after applying herbicides?

From the Pasturegard label:



120 days sounds like 3 months! I'm into October if I read that label correctly.

Haven't yet found anything on 2,4-d

Do unopened rolls of net wrap keep well?

Hello folks,

 

How well do new unopened rolls of net wrap keep? If I got a good deal on enough for 3 or 4 years, would it store all right in the sealed packs for that period? Or should you buy it new each year like silage wrap?

 

Thanks,

Roger

Tedding right after cutting

From my experience you cut, give it a day/or half a day, then ted. I've been seeing videos of people tedding right behind the mower on youtube. Is this done to bruise the stems while it's pliable, and in a way act as a conditioner?

 

Thanks for any thoughts,

Simonsen N-44G Fertilizer Spreader Chart

I stumbled across the above mentioned spreader and now own it. It is in good shape, but the chart for gate opening VS specific wt per cubic foot VS spread width chart is not on it. Wondering if anyone has one on theirs that they could photograph. I found the N-44D model's chart online, but not the G model. Not sure if same or different. Having a buggy is a little out of my expectations, but for $300, I couldn't NOT buy it.

Thanks 

73, Mark

RTV X900 vs. X1120 D

Started off looking at the X900 as I think it has plenty of power for my needs. But, drove a X1120 D and there is a noticeable difference in power.

Talked with a dealer in Ok. last week and he said they have had a hard time getting rid of their X1120's. They sell way more 900's.

Other than higher price, is there a problem with the X1120 engine/ Hydoestate combo. I know some do not like the doors but for trail riding I think they are an improvement.

Are they about a $1500 up charge compared to the X900?

Pros cons to the X1120 vs. the X900?

Thanks in advance and glad I found this forum!:wave:

Foxtail

To preface from earlier;

Just a follow up to last year.....last year I sprayed with 12 oz. of glyphosate on my upland where i had a outbreak of little barley. It killed about 1/2 of it and the other half was stunted so badly it never matured.

 

This year there is almost none of the little barley germinated....just sprigs here and there. So, it worked really well.... the gly never killed my fescue and really just slowed it slightly as I got about a normal cutting of hay in the area that I sprayed.

 

12oz. per acre worked very well.....I would not go with 16oz. as I tried 16oz. on another field to try to kill some foxtail and some of the grasses sustained damage.

Currently,

 

So I mentioned earlier last month about how I have been invaded by Barnyard grass and Foxtail in my spring seeding of Orchard grass.....loving to experiment....and not afraid to, I sprayed 1/2 the field last week with 12 oz. per acre of Cornerstone glyphosate. Its been about 4 days. I went down this morning and looked it over and it appears that the only thing dying is some foxtail and crabgrass. But this is NOT conclusive...it's still early. BUT, the foxtail had just began to form seeds when I sprayed and this morning I saw that ALL of the tiny foxtail seeds all falling off the plumes.....prematurely!    Interesting.

 

Regards, Mike
