3,500+ Gallons Per Minute!

Over the past few weeks we’ve seen some incredible results from our teams in the field!  


For a dairy customer, we set up a PCE Application Team with a 550 hp prototype PCE Lead Pump Boat, two new PCE 6089 Boosters and 2 miles of 10 inch mainline hose.  After the final booster, they push through a length of 7 inch drag hose into a length of 6 inch drag hose to the applicator tractor.  


They’ve been applying on smaller fields with a 35 ft. toolbar using Dietrich Shanks into pre-ripped soil.  Everyone is very happy with their success of applying 13 Million gallons in 8 days of work!  


How many average hours of run time per day?
3,500 gal / min = 210,000 gal/hr  
13,000,000 gallons / 210,000 gal/hr = 62 hours

62 hours / 8 days = 7.75 hours of run time
