Sufficient solution must be used to achieve proper coverage of plant material. The amount of water added when applying drying agents is insignificant relative to amount of water present in the plant. This results in frequent stops to fill application tanks. The most common method of applying drying agents requires a haybine with roll-type conditioner that has been equipped with a spray boom and a push bar. The push bar height should be adjustable.
Tanks can be tractor mounted for trail type haybines.
Self-propelled haybines have not been designed to carry extra weight so consult your dealer or the manufacturer before mounting tanks. After conditioning, forage should be dried in as wide a windrow as possible. This has two effects. First, more sunlight will be absorbed by the forage which means more energy is available to evaporate water. Second, a wide windrow will increase the amount of plant surface area exposed to the environment.
