He’s gone 21m now (don’t think the fert spinner is good for 24m) and puts both in on the same pass.I thought about doing that and going 24🤷♂️

My Amazone drill has the facility to split the feed roller shaft in the middle manually. Trouble is I wouldn’t trust myself and be afraid I would get the low seed alarm and open the box to see the other side still full.Most drills nowadays have the capability to block off half of the drill I would think. Amazone have it with a good few years anyway.

Do you just trample the crop or have you a setup to spray off the wheel tracks with Glyphosate on the first time over the field?I think putting in your own tramlines with a GPS is the way to go . Some fields it makes sense to tramline a slightly different direction to the way it is sown . You also get more accurate tramlines .I have measured tramlines and I have yet to find ones exactly the right width . I get a contractor to sow and he could send a 3meter or a 4 meter drill and it makes no difference to me . It has been a game changer for us to do our own tramlines .
It’s up on done deal for 15500, no vat.I was in abbey retail clerihan yesterday as I was passing. Beautiful 15M 1000L 2016 sprayer there, I know the guy who traded it for a new KV mounted. It’s like new if it’s of any interest to anyone here. No clue of price. View attachment 83809
The grant has the 2nd hand values in ruins, hard to see them getting that for it. It’s like new tho, don’t think it was ever even on the road.It’s up on done deal for 15500, no vat.
I’d say someone vat registered and eligible for tams be able to buy a new one for similar money? From memory a uf1501, 21m was about 29K +vat last year
I priced one of them, 1000l but 18m instead of 15m, it was 15k +vat, that's 4 or 5 years ago.It’s up on done deal for 15500, no vat.

Just trample the Crop but we are mintll so usually no ruts . Sometimes the crop just stays growing and you have something to drive on when spraying.Do you just trample the crop or have you a setup to spray off the wheel tracks with Glyphosate on the first time over the field?
Jumping to 21m seems to add a lot to price with most manufacturers tooI priced one of them, 1000l but 18m instead of 15m, it was 15k +vat, that's 4 or 5 years ago.
Go trailed😉The likes of that Amazone are a fine sprayer but what weight are you talking about? 🤔
Edit: 700 to 900kgs, I thought they would be heavier to be honest.
My first spraying outfit was a DB 880 and Hardi 88 gallon sprayer with PTO mounted pump and 28 ft boom. There were a few hills I had to reverse up to get to the fields such was the lack of counterbalance. Both were new around 1970, and 3.5 acres per fill was the output. The Hardi tank expired when the floor just fell out of it one morning as I set off with the first load of the year. I fitted the booms and pump onto a frame I made with a 1000 litre IBC tank on the lift arms and used a bigger tractor, this went on to spray the beet only up to the end of the beet campaign. Sold it then for fairly decent money afterwards.I once had the 800 litre mounted on the 880 Davy brown for a bit of spot spraying,set it off filling with the hosepipe with the arms locked fully up,forgot about it filling to come round the corner to the front wheels a good 6’ up in the air,good job I hadn’t left it running because it would have seized.

I saw that earlier and came to the same conclusion 👌👍👍👍
Haven’t seen it yet, it’s loaded, Rory seems sound, so did a deal, 15-16 sprayer, seems to be well minded, thanks for the reply’s 👍
Thanks, yes 24m, again makes no difference only spraying grass land, but any trailed sprayer are 18m up the way24m booms Shane? Well wear!
Looks a very tidy sprayer. Best of luck with itHaven’t seen it yet, it’s loaded, Rory seems sound, so did a deal, 15-16 year old sprayer, seems to be well minded, thanks for the reply’s 👍
