Revolutionizing Sprayer Loading: Faster, Safer, and More Efficient | XtremeAg

4 Apr 254m 24s

At Commodity Classic, Chad Henderson and Kevin Matthews explore a cutting-edge sprayer loading system from Dura Products that enhances both speed and precision. The system is fully enclosed, ensuring safe chemical handling and accurate calibration for various product densities. With a quick fill rate, this closed-loop system reduces downtime, potentially slashing loading times from 25 minutes to just 5 minutes. Increased efficiency means farmers can cover more acres per day, maximizing productivity while maintaining cost-effective chemical application. As Chad and Kevin integrate these systems into their tender trailers, they’ll showcase real-world performance in upcoming XtremeAg videos.

00:00:00 Speed and precision. We're talking about a complete sprayer loading system here at commodity class of their friends, at their, our products. 00:00:06 Chad and Kevin are both gonna get one of these. Okay, I got this part. Chad, that's an engine. That's my fault. I got this. 00:00:12 I think I understand what happens here, but this is where the magic happens. Am I right? Oh yeah. 00:00:15 This is, this is, you know, in Salt Way group, um, we're talking about these things are already calibrated. It has got a calibration hose on back. 00:00:22 It's got a nifty gifty calibration jug, you know, that you can snap into because people always wonder what is zero? 00:00:28 What's calibrated? How do you know it's calibrated? So Kevin Matthews and ERs are both going to be getting this machine 00:00:34 or they've already taken the Already got it. It's at the house on the farm and you're gonna put it on your tender trailer. 00:00:38 Tender truck. We're joined by Jake f Fleshman who is with Direct products. He's our product expert. Yeah. What am I looking at? 00:00:44 I mean, I obviously don't Phil sprayers, but this looks pretty technologically advanced. I'm not looking at here. Let's go to the farmer first. 00:00:50 And I want the tech class. So what we're doing, this is the system of Chad Skiing. I'm getting one that's a vent. It's a little smaller. 00:00:57 It's not quick as a quick fill rate. However, it's the exact same principle. And so this is a closed system and, 00:01:05 and that's really important 'cause we're handling all these chemicals and folks and it's totally enclosed. 00:01:10 You don't have to worry about exposure to anything that you're using and you calibrate it for the products that you're using because the bulk density 00:01:18 changes on every product. You can't assume it's right as Chad said. So they got an easy way to calibrate it. 00:01:24 Once you get it in, you punch in how much you want and it takes care of it. And, and Damien, I mean Chad 00:01:30 and I, we realize how busy it is. You know, we've just got out of the sprayer. Yeah. You know, we're needing to get this 00:01:35 thing filled back up quick. That's something that, you know, the guys at Endur products has been good with, 00:01:40 with showing us how to speed that up and um, you know, I think y'all have tested and got a few more acres a day Absolutely. 00:01:46 With it. And so, but you didn't do it in my little field. So that, that's gonna be the interesting thing, right? 00:01:51 Feelings of feeling, of feelings of filling. You know, if we're looking at, if we're looking at time about 20 to 25 minutes to fill these sprayers. 00:01:58 Most time if you have your quick three or four products in, it's gonna be 20, 25 minutes. Mm-hmm. These boys say, 00:02:03 and we're going to try our best to prove 'em wrong. And I hope I don't, but these boys say they can fill the sprayer in five minutes. 00:02:08 Okay. Bye bucks. So, and you say, well, what's interesting, 25 minutes and five minutes. 00:02:12 Well the thing is, that piece of equipment, that sprayer, it's expensive. And also when you got certain storms coming, 00:02:18 or like you guys in the south, you can't spray after 85 degrees. So you wanna try and do as much as you can. 00:02:23 If you look, if you look at this way, we try to get eight loads today. If, okay, so eight loads, eight takes one hour load. Okay. 00:02:29 Okay. So I pick up 15 minutes hypothetical, I'll pick up 15 minutes per loaf. So that would be really, I could put out two more loads a 00:02:37 today And you were looking that same fuel costs, the same man hours, same. Everything. Those man hours actually, well it's, well no, 00:02:43 you saying mean it's the same man you talked about, and I want Jake to address this. You said it's not just about speed speed's one thing, 00:02:50 but also I know exactly what you, we, we've upped our precision game with this. How. Yeah. You know, so the beauty 00:02:55 of our meters is one calibrated correctly for that associated chemical, you're gonna be accurate within a half a percent. 00:03:00 Okay. So accuracy is huge. We know chemicals aren't cheap. Yeah. So this, this product is gonna allow you to be, 00:03:05 get across more acres in a day, be accurate with what you're applying, and just be more efficient all around. So the point is, we got obviously a 00:03:11 tough commodity price out here. Yep. We can saving a nickel on uh, making sure that we're not wasting product, 00:03:15 we're gonna have dialed into the right exact amount. So, and, and the thing too, this one's, this comes preset on this skid. 00:03:20 Yeah. It's not just posted up on this thing, it's on this skid here. Okay. But when you pick it up with the forks, 00:03:25 all we wanna be able to do is put it on the water trailer and then take it off. If you're filling at home, you can fill it home, 00:03:30 you can fill it on the water trailer, you can fill it. You're putting it both, you're putting, you guys are both putting it on your tender trailer. 00:03:35 But you could use this at your yard. Yeah, I wanna use it in both places. Yeah. I'll use it both places. Yeah. 00:03:40 And then for me, I got a dedicated tender truck and that it will actually go on it because the one I'm getting to the smaller versions. 00:03:47 Okay. It's not as big a footprint as this. So it'll go right on the tail of that truck. Videos will be coming when the product is rolling. 00:03:54 These guys always do that. They always put out product videos. They always say, Hey, here's what I'm doing on my farm. 00:03:58 And you can check all that out. Extreme Mag Do Farm.
