Fertilizer spreaders

[Cork]

How come your trading it in so cork? I was always saying I'll.get a weigh cell spreader
Until I heard the price :cry:

Just taking advantage of TAMS to upgrade John, we wouldn’t dream of selling it otherwise.

Did you decide what your upgrading to?

 

[Cork]

Did you decide what your upgrading to?

Yes, we’re going with a Rauch Axis again. With V8 gps section control and weighing. 2.2tn capacity. Still deciding on which crane to put with it.

Nice machine. Was only looking at one of the new rauch section control electrical ones in Hegartys last week. Are you going 2.2t so it will hold 2t handy?

Exactly. Any more than 2tn would be two much for our tractor in my opinion, the crane pushes the weight back a bit.

I didn't realise fert spreaders were covered? Taking advantage if it myself, going for a lemken rubin hopefully..

Maybe I'm missing something but looks like a cheap KRM / Bogballe

It's a fair age that's why it's 'cheap'

 

[Seedsower]

For a lot of grassland farmers that spreader would last a long time and be a good fast way of spreading .
If it did a few seasons it was for nothing really.
A fertiliser spreader is unlikely to give serious trouble and if it does it's not the end of the world to be without it for a few days.
It's one machine id be more likely to wear /rust out than change

Early 00's I would think?

Its only tillage farmers who can avail of them under tams isn't it?

 

[nashmach]

Its only tillage farmers who can avail of them under tams isn't it?

Yes and only if they have more than 15ha in tillage or temporary grassland.

Only issue is that a lot of grassland farmers won't have a tractor capable of carrying a 2 ton spreader

What width would she spread. Are they troublesome.

Like anything you'd want to see it in the flesh, be curious how good a paint job was done. if it was done right then that does look like a lot of spreader for the money

You could always remove the extensions and you don't have to fill it either.

It depends on the veins fitted. Anywhere from 12m to 20m +

Only issue that gets Bogballes of that vintage is rust.

This doesn't look bad for what you are getting between bogie, spreader and Crane.

Spreader isn't held on by the linkage pins. Big no no

Most of the older bogies around here are designed similar though.

A dealer would ask as much or more for the spreader on its own.

What would be the problem with that? Chassis held at points that it’s not supposed to be leading to cracks?

My thoughts exactly Arthur

Just soomed in better and now see that the lower links are in place.
Te bottom bar on a tub is only for holding the gearbox and parking on.
Having the spreader sat on its bottom could cause it to twist out of shape.

The new crane arrived before the new spreader and there’s fertilizer to be spread in the morning

The last lifter struggled with 600kg, this will lift two bags.

I don’t suppose there’s any issue lifting two bags at a time? I’m thinking of putting strain on chassis or weigh cells?.

The cells should only take weight from the hopper I guess and this puts no strain on hopper.
