If they have a six row just block the hoses to the outer disk openers and drop the disk openers. Set it up so you are pulling 5 disk openers. All of the openers will have restrictors at the end of the hoses where it shoots the 28% out into the slot. The outer two orfices will be 1/2 the rate of the inner three. When you turn around the outer openers will be applying again, but only at a 1/2 rate. Did this in 2011 and it worked well. There are rate charts using tractor speed, pressure, and orfice size to figure gallons per acre. You can check your application rate by measuring out a distance in the field and catching the nitrogen in five gallon buckets from the hoses. Weigh the nitrogen caught and figure the acre (s) covered. Another possibility is to just fertilize the three rows where the tractor drive and not between the outer planter rows. Plant roots will grow to the nitrogen and get it. Good luck.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
