I am trying to start using my dry fertilizer and dry herbicide boxes on the cyclo 400. Any advice on setup, herbicide type, etc.

GordoSD is correct, you need a private applicator's license although you can have someone whom has a license buy the product and he then will "oversee" your usage. I believe there are three sizes of fertilizer augers, low, medium, and high. We had the medium which worked well for 2X2 corn placement. You need to get a operators's manual which will give fertilizer rates with the various sprockets/augers. Chemical suppliers can calibrate newer insecticide boxes and perhaps also herbicide, but their equipment will not work on a 400. The operator's manual suggests correct settings, and we did use it but they were about 30% high on insecticide. If you are planting quite a few acres, it will pay to you to expend the effort and calibrate them. That is one reason we bought to a newer planter; ie, could have the supplier calibrate the insecticide boxes. Not many dry herbicides, although we consider using Surpass 20G granular one year with the 400 since it had the required extra boxes. This product with atrazine added is called FulTime and covers more weeds, but I don't believe it is available as a granular. Since the herbicide options are so limited, we didn't consider having herbicide boxes when looking for a newer planter.

Granular herbicides applied above the seed could solve a lot of problems, one of which is 30 mph winds at planting time if you are trying to spray and plant in the same operation. I'm out of the loop on those things now -- many things are changing.

Most states require an applicators license to buy most farm pesticides. Check with your local ASCS agent/office.

In Kansas that applies to restricted use pesticides, which are likely increasing. Doesn't apply to his situation because he wants dry ones, but things like 2,4-d, Roundup, etc can be bought by anyone. Anyway he has dry INSECTICIDE boxes, not herbicide, same thing applies probably to a larger extent. The exam can be passed by almost anyone, county agent has study materials and can administer the exam.
