Question:
What is the average fuel consumption and cost per acre?
Answer: You can expect to use between
20 and 30 gallons an acre. The cost per acre depends on the price
of propane.
Question:
When is the best time to flame alfalfa?
Answer: The best time to flame is
in the late winter or early spring, when you see the first signs of
growth in your alfalfa.
Question:
Will flaming hurt my alfalfa?
Answer:
No. If the alfalfa is green, it will only slow growth for a few days,
but there will be no adverse effects.
Question:
Can I flame between cuttings?
Answer: You may flame between cuttings
if necessary. Typically, this will delay the next cutting by 3-5 days.
Question:
What size tank is recommended?
Answer: No specific tank size is
needed. The tank size is determined by how long you want to operate
between refills. Using 500 to 1000 gallon tanks is common.
Question:
Can more than one unit be hooked together to cover a wider swath?
Answer:
Yes. 2 or 3 TD12LPS units can be connected to make a 24' or 36' set-up.
The producer is responsible for the additional plumbing and fabricating
to make this possible.
Question:
How fast can I travel while flaming?
Answer:
Ground speed around 5 miles per hour is recommended. Speed will vary
depending on the air temperature. Higher temperatures allow faster
speeds while lower temperatures require slower speeds.
