Electric weeding ⚡️⚡️ Nice to finally see a demo working up close on a neighbouring farm! Big fan of non chem weed control for what I'm involved with, electic kills it all the way to the roots, just as glyphosate would! Super impressive, black marks show contact area ⚡️👌

Huge fan of the magnetic trailer lights! Don't use them very often, but when you need them, you need them! Helps when you're ocd with working lights 👌 #connix

Heron pH rig usually controlled by float switch in receiving tank but tank filling pumps are at distance and timer controlled so float switch controls the rig fill valve directly then a flow switch after the pH sensor starts dosing. Tank fills=valve closes=flow stops=dosing stops
