Cross Slot in action on Youtube

Neville Gould - Wednesday, July 27, 2011
CANFA was recently sent a Youtube link showing the Cross Slot in action. The email gave the following details:

On 10 July, Kevin Larson, Willow City, North Dakota (USA) seeded a cover crop into standing yellow sweet clover residue. The sweet clover had been sprayed three days before seeding. Seeding rates (per acre) were:
Tank #1- 40lbs millet; 1lb yellow sweet clover; 2lbs pea innoculant
  • Tank #2 - 40 lbs spring wheat
  • Tank #3 - 50lbs yellow peas

Tanks #2 and #3's output were metered separately and placed together on the right side of the disc. Tank #1's output was placed on the left side of the disc.

Kevin's been really pleased with the results.
