Deere-est Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Spotted this the other eveing at the start of my nightshift. It was parked on the crest of a hill so I couldn't stop. This morning though, I finished work at 5am as it was getting light and headed up to the field for some photo's, the first is from the lorry cab the other evening. The rest are from this morning.

Deere-est Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 I don't know who's it is or what it is spreading. Can't even tell you how the sludge is getting to the field. There is a contractor within spitting distance of this field with a 4wheel Horsch so whether it is a recent aquisition of his I don't know. 04 reg and it doesn't appear to have had a hard life. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 The rear injection tool is a Kongskilde Vibro-Injector. Name says it all, it obviously vibrates to help the sludge through the nozzles and set it into the earth, 4m by the looks of it. I'd guess it is going in at 5 inches or so aswell. Pretty standard looking hitch on it. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 Pretty sure this is the inlet for secondary loading - ie, via a tank or carrier. Not sure about the second pic though, located on the off side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 This is the primary loading arm. Pivots from the rear offside corner of the tank, left to right and up and down. Coupling is half a Bauer coupling of 6ins. Not sure if there is manual clasp on the female coupling or not as there was nothing there so he must be loading from tankers. There is an electro-hydraulic slider inside the tube, you can see the ram sticking out to the right. Looks like a favourite branch-banger!!
