[QUOTE="Beefsmith, post: 7527948, member: 133822"] Who’s done this? We love the extra output 36m offered over 24m and less wheelings etc. But the negatives - trailed machine: 1. uneven liquid fert application as it takes longer to get the required rate out of the booms due to the extra length and size of the pipe work (400l pump) so all our field corners are a mess basically. 2. If your spraying around a curve the trailed sprayer steering follows and corrects to stay in track which is great but these corrections move the booms agreesively causing more rate fluctuations with what hits the crop. 3. reversing into corners, two of us who drive just cannot get used to it. The large tank means you can’t see anything. 4. auto boom height systems cannot deal with 36m booms properly. Yes I know Horsch’s system works but we can’t justify one of those as we’ve priced one. 5. Mechanically the sprayer is fine and has been checked by two different companies. On static jug tests it’s spot on but when in use the sheer size of the pipe work, boom movement etc is making our crops messy. 6. I’ve been to sit with two neighbours running different brands but also 36m and they get very similar if not identical issues so it’s not our particular machine. On the plus side the work rate is phenomenal and with backup 60ac per hour at 10km/hr is achievable. Our old 24m was half that as it had a smaller tank as well. And we can stay on 600mm tyres all year round which we like as the tractor does other jobs whichrow crops wouldn’t suit. One suggestion is we swap it for a used 36m SP which would sort the field corners out and some boom movement spraying around curves as part of our issue we think is the length of the outfit which exaggerates the boom movement but it wouldn’t help getting field corner even fert wise as it’s still 36m and wouldn’t help auto boom height control.
