2022 Results and Impressions: Capstan Ag Systems/Xyway - Kevin Matthews
Kevin Matthews discusses the
Capstan Ag
SelectShot trials he conducted with Xyway on his planter this season.
00:00 We use the capstan select shot system on our corn planter this year on one planter the other planter. We left it without. 00:07 The system we was able and asked one of the Pirates points of extreme Agway is able to find a couple faults that they had 00:16 and that's why they hired us to do it and we got it corrected. Luckily. They helped us get it figured out pretty quick. Once we you know, identified what 00:25 it is what was going on? And once we got it, right the system was flawless. I mean it, you know, it it cut 00:33 our in for a fertilizer down when our populations went down. We'd save anywhere from one gallon to 1.4 gallons of product per 00:42 acre of the infer and still put his exact same amount of milliliters per seed out there. 00:50 No issues with it really, you know, it goes through our virtual terminal on our tractor. It's up on our Gen 4 display 2630 display. 00:59 No issues whatsoever. It's easy to calibrate keep it calibrated. I probably calibrated a lot more than I needed to but I just do it. 01:08 Just trying to learn more about it so that if you guys and ladies need any information that I've got some hands-on experience with 01:14 it, and I'm comfortable telling you what I know or what I don't know. 01:19 Wasn't advantage of the system like yes as we took zaway. And we put it two inches away from the seed the 01:26 ziway product. We've done proved last year that if we put it on the seed with this hybrid and the conditions that we had. We're going to have significant yield damage. 01:36 we had know your damage. We had a ziway two inches away in Furrow. We had the neutral charge with it and we 01:46 had another product with it and It was unbelievable yield you look at the yield map. And you just a solid green. It was it was cool. I loved it. So 01:56 that tells me that the capstan is definitely when I say a two inch path away from the seed and a three 02:05 inch shot length. She's getting the job done. So I like that part.
