Liquid fert!

one better machine doing 2 jobs.

must be the way forwards on smaller farms Where one man is doing both jobs anyway.

possible conflict on bigger farms where spraying and fert spreading is done by separate folks at the same time though.

Sorry just seen u said 320 are the tines up to it?

They’re a 4t Albutt set. Genuinely no hassle.

A 320 will lift an awful lot more than 3.2t in the upper 1/2- 3/4of lift height. The ton bags are tall so that’s exactly where it’s lifting.

That’s impressive. I once had a wheel rim blow (rusted) on matbro with 4 600s on that fright me enough
 
We always loaded them 4 wide, whether on pallets or as top lifts. Maybe where yours were loaded they lifted 6 at the time. 3 wide would spread the weight better because with 4 wide there's space front and back.
I remember the Yara poster about getting more weight onto lorries but could never understand it because whatever I was driving, rigid, rigid and drag or unit with various length trailers I always hit the weight limit before the floor was full.
I could have sworn that the 500’s fit 3 wide on a lorry with no spare room and that when they moved to 600’s the bags are the same dimensions at the base, just taller.
