Add blue to field
- Thread starter Clive
- Start date
I had a quote for one from western - £850 250 L
Can't help think I can screw something tidy together myself for a lot less ??
Might just run to something a little less manual than that ! Lot of add blue in a lexion !
Have a quarter size IBC and a 12v pump that I reckon just needs glueing together somehow

If the tractor towing the bowser has a front linkage then what about a set of pallet forks mounted on an a frame,That way you could just pick up the bowser then draw forward and pick up the ibc which would be strapped to the pallet forks and away you go
We usually pull our bowser behind a double cab pickup - thinking of making the add blue unit so it fits in the back of the pickup ?
Ibc will fit in the back of a pickup, weight might be an issue if you are towing as well though
maybe just half fill?
Kind of thing I'm thinking - I have some small qtr size ibc's somewhere I'm sure

Asked same on the old forum last year before harvest. Easiest cleanest solution I came up with, is to mount 400lt/200lt ad blue tank with 12v pump on top of your bowser. Make up a cradle and mount it on. Any other way than on the bowser is messy and hassle. Ad blue pumps and auto nozzles are not cheap. You won't use as much ad blue on the combine as you think.
Found the link for the tanks I was thinking of:

Hope it's ok, just bought one myself, should turn up tomorrow. Only went for the 135 litre one. Hoping to mount it on top of bowser. Will take photo for you when I get it mounted.

Here's our tank, it turned up earlier in the week. Haven't attached to the bowser yet, just sat it on to see how it looked, not sure yet! Bolt holes moulded into it for fixing. Just had it in back of van and pickups. Was quoted from lady selling and on web site that it had a lockable lid and an automatic cut off nozzle. It doesn't. Had a quiet word with her and she just said she had made a mistake. Wire cable to battery is a bit short, can't reach to opposite side of tractor for battery, no switch to switch on or off either ( lots of running around). Does what it says on tin, but nowt else. Looked into getting a auto nozzle, cheapest is around £200 but in my eyes is a must. Not using as much Adblue as we first thought. 936 done 3 days mowing with triples on a tank, 724 done 4 days raking, other 724 done 3 days leading grass on a tank 30 litre tanks), not sure how long forager will last (120litre), more than 3 days anyway, main reason why we only got a small tank.

Hi
We just use an 500ltr mobile diesel tank which sits on the deck of the ute or as you guys call if a pick up. Enough for a few days work and has an electric pump.

How do you get around the AdBlue contamination issues if your pump, hoses etc are not made of material that was not designed to be in contact with AdBlue in the first place e.g only use stainless or certain plastic fittings as zinc and brass will get attacked by the AdBlue and cause damage downstream... though maybe you are just reads from your post as if you are using a straight diesel setup?
