The Brown Brush Monitor The Brown Brush Monitor -- Historical Historical BackgroundBackground
The Brown Brush Monitor design aspects are based upon the concept of mowing brush and applying herbicide simultaneously.

How does the Brown Brush Monitor How does the Brown Brush Monitor Work?Work?
The task of mowing and applying herbicides is separated into two specialized chambers
• In the first chamber (the mower deck), the brush encounters a set of 6-inch blades that are capable of cutting stems two to three inches in diameter. The mowed debris is removed from the mower deck through a side discharge door
• Behind the mower deck are enclosed herbicide chambers where the cut stubble encounters two treatment phases - a row of nozzles spray herbicides directly onto the stubble; then, the system catches any unabsorbed herbicides in a “reservoir” made up of a series of scrapers, brushes and chains, which wipe product onto the stubble in the second application stage

Key advantages of the the Brown Key advantages of the the Brown Brush MonitorBrush Monitor
The Brown Brush Monitor is the first practical chemical mowing design to treat the cut stubble ends, rather than just broadcasting the herbicide under the mower deck.
Targeting herbicide application placement raises the percent of product effectively applied to stubble and minimizes the potential for herbicide application to the ground.
The simple system regulates the herbicide application rate by tractor speed, much like tractors in row crop applications.
A relatively simple system – void of complicated wiring, sensors or computer parts makes it easy and relatively inexpensive to maintain.

ConclusionsConclusions
Suburban sprawl is increasing the number of “sensitive” acres each year
A “Low Profile” herbicide application is becoming more attractive for our “Sensitive” acresGreatly reduces the potential for physical drift
Extremely important for a mow and spray operation to keep the material on the targeted stems to be effective

The Future LooksThe Future LooksBrightBrightIntegrate the returnable refillable container concept with the Brown Brush Monitor.– In 2003 mowers will have the containers
instead of tanks.– They will be able to either fill the tanks
on the mower or simply switch them out– Tanks will be protected with a steel
cover that will open for easy transfer of tanks
