● It is a good idea to consider your water logistics well ahead of the harvest season.
□ DECIDE whether you will need to employ a water truck or trailer to transport water to the fields
where the DewPoint machine(s) is(are) working.
•
Remember that a DewPoint machine will operate from 3-6 hours on one load (1000 gallons) of
water.
•
Consider the distance to the field from the water source.
•
Remember that you can typically bale about an average of 60 tons/hour with a large
rectangular baler and that road transport time to fill with water will affect your overall baler
productivity.
● Use a tank made of either a black plastic, steel or other light-blocking material which will eliminate light
infiltration to prevent algae growth.
●
Set Up Water Transfer Pump.
□
A 2-inch engine driven transfer pump is normally used to transfer water from the water transport
vehicle into the DewPoint machine.
●
Tailor your water/service transport vehicle to your own needs.
