  1. J2 Ramper Designed and Built By: Curtis Johnson Levi Johnson

  2. Sub Soil Ramping • Issues w/top applied N • Residue C/N > 25:1 • Volatilization Size 12 Boot

  3. Application Design • Replicate large scale applicator soil disturbance. • Will be used to apply mid-season fertilizer in Jan. & Feb. • Future testing with 10-34-0.

  4. Rate Control Pumps • 4x • 2x • 1x

  5. Controls • 3 on-off switches • 1 double pole double throw switch • Hydraulic pump control • Coming soon, 3 pole rotary switch for ease of operation

  6. Mapping Ramp Location • Garmin • eTrex Vista Cx GPS • 1st I Drove around the edge of the field • 2nd I traced all the terraces • 3rd I Mapped the Ramp locations This allows me to log ramp locations from year to year so that ramps are not placed on top of one another, and it is a good way to check for the amount to Nitrogen carry over. (Steps 1&2 only need to be done one initial time.)
