Will you continue using the Zetor as sprayer tractor?Its a old un but looks solid enough and is cheap enough
Just wanted more capacity
Yes that's why I went trailed as she will tow 4ton better than she'll carry 2Will you continue using the Zetor as sprayer tractor?
I changed from mounted 800ltr 12m manually folded to trailed 2,500ltr with 21m Hydraulic booms and it has made spraying seriously quicker. Fields are all 8-10ac probably a bit small for 21m but cuts down a lot on tramlines and therefore green grains at harvest. One regret was not getting a tracking axle, would cut down further on wheeling at headlands.Not much good with multiple crops on small acres though and narrower tramlines
What sprayer hitch do you have?I changed from mounted 800ltr 12m manually folded to trailed 2,500ltr with 21m Hydraulic booms and it has made spraying seriously quicker.

We’ve just changed to a gem trailed with multi track, the pivot point is in under the front of the tank. It’s fairly unnerving watching it at first and you really need to remember it turning out of a shed as the booms go a hell of a way out when it starts to come around. There’s a second pivot under the pump at the front with a ram on it so you can force it up hill on a side brow etc, there’s another one locally and they took off the tracking ram and let it pivot on the front point and locked the back pivot up solid instead. It’s had a few lie downs and I think that prompted the change...What sprayer hitch do you have?
I bought that cleanacres and shes mounted on the lift arms and has tracking but its pinned solid and the sprayer guy I bought from says it's fine like that 🤷♂️I dare say I'll experiment when it gets here
Don't let the tiny reservoir run out that has the oil for the tracking rams. It's a bit of a faff getting the air out properly. Not hard to do just time consuming. About 80psi on the clock and your right.We’ve just changed to a gem trailed with multi track, the pivot point is in under the front of the tank.

the extra width makes a hell of a change tramline wise though! Worked it out when sowing the winter barley, it’s only 10 acres but has cut out 3 tramlines the majority of which would have been in short ground meaning we’d have to shunt or loop around the way it’s worked out well only have to loop on 1 tramline hopefully
Yeah it seems to be holding steady at 80 thankfully. You may be just the person to ask, does the top wash bar have nozzles or sprinklers attached? The one closest to the opening just seems to dump straight down, I thought they should blow out around the sides or else it’s a bit pointless?Don't let the tiny reservoir run out that has the oil for the tracking rams.

Hell of a lot easier to attach and a lot safer for tractor cabs too. The nh has a pile of scratches and even a crack from the mounted hardi😢Regards trailed sprayers “What can do a lot can do a little “👍
Also you’ll hitch a trailed sprayer up in a fraction of the time it takes to hitch a mounted sprayer,I also find my trailed far safer on steep ground,with a mounted on a hill once half full it’s bloody dangerous.
What width does the drill sow?I've no intention of changing drill, spreader and sprayer in one season though!!
If I can cut down some of the trips to the outfarm with a bigger tank I'll be happy.
What width does the drill sow?
If it's a disc spreader you have would you only need to change discs and/or vanes?
A lot of benefits in the posts above to going trailed over mounted.
The 2.4m drill & wagtail spreader throw a different perspective on matters alright.Ah that's why I'm wedded to 12m for now. 2.4m drill in the spring, 3m in winter.
Cosmo Wagtail spreader so maxed out at 12m there too.
There is no doubt if I was going 20m plus, it would be trailed all the way.
I'm not on the Wexford prairies either. Fields from 1 acre to 6 acres, average size 4.5 acres.

@Danielk and @diesel power and @kverneland es 80 i think?Anyone here deal with milestone sprayers, in downpatrick?

That's what I'm gonna have to do this year
They have a good reputation as far as I know
I’d say you’re doing fine with those field sizes, any more than 18m would be too big in my opinion. We were 12m then 21 and now 24. 24 is great in big fields but small fields less so.Ah that's why I'm wedded to 12m for now. 2.4m drill in the spring, 3m in winter.
