00:00 So today we're running A 24 Year model, haggy, STS 12, with a John Deere exact apply system. In the coming videos, I'm Going to go over a lot 00:10 More of the improvements that they've Done with this machine. Uh, it's amazing how it's operating. 00:16 I will say after having a 17 year model, a 22 year model, this 24 year model is, um, amazing. 00:25 It, uh, Is encompassing so much of the things we love so much about our John Deere sprayers that's in the hagg is it's extremely smooth. 00:33 The z applies just doing an amazing job. And, um, just going to show you a few tips here. Alright, so you 00:39 Can see we're 120 foot boom. We're on 20 inch spacings on our nozzle bodies With our Z applied nozzles. 00:47 Today we're Putting fungicide on corn. We're running 15 gallons acre. One thing with the all wheel steer 00:54 and then the Z applied technology. I'm gonna go right here. You need to have it set up so you can really see what's going on. 01:01 We're running the pulse, we're putting 15 gallons an acre out. So we're going to change our legend. 01:06 And we want our top to be say, 17 gallons. That's a greater than our, less than the small amount. We're gonna put it at 12 gallons. 01:14 Now if we look at the map, you can see the way the machine turned when the left side here was going faster, it put a higher rate out 01:23 and it started lowering it down. Then as it changed, well that's the turn compensation feature that works 01:30 with this ly. So you can see where we're turning and it's putting more out. I also slowed down right here, so 01:36 that one's not really a true representation. But look up here in this corner, I made a turn right there in that corner 01:43 and you can see where it put more out and it put less over here on this side than I went right back in. 01:49 This is one of the coolest things 'cause when you're doing post-em emerge applications, you're not wanting 01:56 to run over no more crop than you have to. With the all wheel steer technology that Aggie has had and in the exact apply that John Deere has. 02:05 Putting those two together is made for one more sweet performing piece of his equipment. In order to do minimum damage to your crops, you really need 02:15 to have your maps set right so you can keep up with what is going on on your displays. You can customize these displays any way you want to. 02:23 Also, with a Zac apply, remember your pressure relief if you have to get out and work on anything. 02:27 Be sure and cut your pressure relief to on, and it relieves the pressure in that boom and it will make it a lot more pleasant experience 02:36 working on the boom. Now one thing that we're adamant, we run dome in every load and the dome helps those plungers when they're running, 02:45 popping back and forth. We just have extremely little, uh, issues. You can see I got one icon right here, red. 02:52 As soon as I start spraying, it'll clear right up. That's because I've had that dawn in there. I'm running some boron in right now that, uh, 02:59 and some other foliar fertilizers that can cause those to go red once in a while after you shut off. But when they're actually running 03:07 and spraying, they do just fine. So there's no issues with it. When I do not use the dome, that's when I start seeing it. 03:13 But again, just a little bit about the technology and benefits here with this, uh, exact apply system on this haie look forward 03:20 to running this machine some more and telling you guys some more improvements that John Deere has done 03:26 and Haie has done to these machines. And there's a lot of 'em. There's no comparison in this machine versus 03:32 the 22 year model. Stay safe.
