Agrium Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I must say those tankers are awesome, a credit to you paul, lots of hours work going into that. Im have been making a prototype over the past 2/3 weeks, that will be cast, but cant go to the level of detail you have as mr postie wont like those gate valve handles too much, but its getting there. I will be happy with half what you boys are offering Paul :D :D pics on the web www.agrium-models.com Sorry Paul, dont want to steel your thunder, but any oppourtunity I will give the tanker a plug : Good work, Low loader looks good too.

Agrium Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 Although tankers all vary, I think it will be ok to have it whatever coulours people want, decals will be produced for most liveries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Ford Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 very very nice Ian , when will they be ready to buy ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agrium Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 Im hoping to have the first few ready for Spalding, price not really known yet, but going off past models, anywhere from ?55 upwards. The body will be cast resin, which although not the most expwnsive thing in the world will make the kits more expensive then the West spreader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Walter Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 What is the pipe that runs along the side of the tank used for please?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agrium Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 most manufacturers offer this, it is a jetter, which if the fields are too wet, you can drive the tanker along the roadside or just around the headlands and jet the slurry upto 100ft - not into the wind though, might make a mess of your windows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MODELFARMER Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Which in accordance with cross compliance is not allowed \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Walter Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 You have the feed from the vein pump, surley the slurry don't go through the vein pump?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 looks Good Ian, not a model for me to be honest, but i'm sure it will sell well....i think i need to get into slurry spreading too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agrium Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 You have the feed from the vein pump, surley the slurry don't go through the vein pump?. correct, I need to alter that, with an additional compressor/shreader. give me a day or two.

smish Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 will it be possible to get them without the rain gun and with a rear splash plate instead? dont think with the new nitrates law we will be allowed to use rain guns any more,even in 1/32 farming!! ;D ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 will it be possible to get them without the rain gun and with a rear splash plate instead? dont think with the new nitrates law we will be allowed to use rain guns any more,even in 1/32 farming!! ;D ;D Won't be allowed to use splashplates in another few years either :( \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agrium Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 comes with this as standard, jetter will be additional, or maybe it will come all together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallclaas Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 That's going to be one hell of a tank will it be possible to get them without the rain gun and with a rear splash plate instead? dont think with the new nitrates law we will be allowed to use rain guns any more,even in 1/32 farming!! ;D ;D er Ian when shes done. Just read an article in Profi, "Splash plate tanker days are numbered" Joskin are going to concentrate on making injectors from now on.

Agrium Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 guess that means I'll have to scrap this idea then oh what a shame, i've nearly finished, guess the old EA will be clamping down on us carpet farmers,...darn it :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( Its always something I can think about in the future, to make an injector system for it. in answer to earlier question, just knocked this up, with a gearbox and seperate centrifugal pump, which is supplied from the base of the tank. The Sh1t really flies out of here, Joskin reckon pressure of 6bar is achieved, wouldn't mind seeing that, never used a jetter before comments..... needs finishing off, edges smoothing, and grey primer applying before casting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDC Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 That's coming on great guns now Ian :o :o Can't wait to see one painted up :P I was just looking through a Hi-spec brochere and yours looks bob on ;) ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
