Deeredriver Posted May 11, 2008 Author Share Posted May 11, 2008 nope dont need it over here mate as long as my boss has a licence and is whithin radio or fone range your good to go i dont really care for spraying too much but its a job that gets done the most on our farm i will maybe cover 10,000 acres or so each year give or take a 1000 ha ha! this year wont be as much as we only have 1100 acres of wheat after its combined i will have to run over the same fields 3 times more before winter to keep them clean then the last time it will be done will be with roundup and atrazine ready for the maize next year I did run over a few acres of wheat just a few weeks ago to give them another shot of liquid fert 6.5 gals to the acre 20mph spraying speed man you get a lot of acres done fast but its hard as hell to keep on track as we dont have tram lines i do have my own gps lightbar in the sprayer but at that speed my reactions arnt so good at keeping up with the flashing lights to tell me which way to steer ???

51MON Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 thats different nick what the advantage of that to a tipper don.,t go tipping your waggon over though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeredriver Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 well they are a lot more stable than a end dump tipper and this only takes 20 seconds to tip out a load were going to use it to cart sh1t 90% of the time so with it being sticky this will be a lot safer that big rock it shows tipping out at 33 seconds in the vid weighed in at 15 tons it was still in there yard when i picked ours up yesterday were going to make some silage side for it too so be carting off the chopper with it as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
