FAQS and troubleshooting
frequently asked questions
Can I order directly from DE or do I have to go through a distributor or dealer?
You can purchase equipment directly from us, however, we ask that you first check with your hay preservative or silage inoculant dealer to see if they stock or order our applicators. This way you will have their support, as well as ours. Essentially, we appreciate your business regardless of where you buy it, but want to support your existing relationships!
Are there any DE products that include crop-eyes?
These will be available soon.
Can I send my applicator in for maintenance?
Yes, applicators can be sent in for repairs or general maintenance. Please include a note with your name, return address, and a phone number. If you are aware of any specific issues, feel free to list those as well. Please take a look inside your applicator before you send it in – we want the inoculant on your fields, not our floors.
how long will it take for my order to arrive?
Depending on the time of day the order is placed and if the order is on-hand, you can expect it to leave our facility within the same or following business day.
Please note that all orders are filled on a first order, first filled basis. Based on inventory available.
• Arrival times can vary, however, here are the general rules of thumb:
• Spee-Dee Delivery: typically will take 1–2 days from when the order leaves our facility (Spee-Dee ships to locations in: MN, SD, WI, ND, IL, IA, and parts of NE)
• UPS: typically will take 2–5 days from when the order leaves our facility
• LTL: varies by carrier
can my order be shipped by fedex?
We can accommodate to ship by FedEx, but please allow an additional 1–2 days because it will require a separate pick-up to be scheduled.
