Agri buggy chemical storage.

[James 2345]

Hello all!! As the title suggests, I'm posting about the chemical storage on the kellands Agri Buggy... Or lack of! There's no where on the machine which is adequate for transporting chemical, it normally ends up in the cab, in the tank or on the crop deflector on the front, all of which I feel dubious about doing.

So, what I was thinking was taking the front crop deflector out and creating a locking box, which would be capable of carrying chemical and a few tools, spares etc.

I was wondering has anyone ever done this before? If so how did you get on? And was it worth while doing!? Thanks in advance!!!!

Pull a little sheep livestock box behind you!

Hmmm I could do!!! Might not be overly practical though!!!!!!

I ve got this on mine.

Fair shout, that looks ideal. Did you make that? The crop deflector on the agri buggy has two bits of box sticking out which slide into a sleeve and then are held in with two bolts...they box isn't massive though, so I'm not too sure how much weight it would hold?

The box is also used as a deck weight when demount sprayer off. My brother @Durris Dave modified it to fit on front linkage like this. With a bit of advice from the tff faithful. I'm rubbish in workshop! The fastrac has 2.5t front linkage so not worried about hanging weight on front. As you say I'm not sure how much weight a agribuggy could handle hanging on front.

How much chemical were you thinking of taking, 100L = 100kg
Tidy box @Chae1

Think you helped me figure out mounting points, with front linkage folded up!

Got this from sanderson environmental at lamma last year for 110. Does me fine although it's filled with all manner of spares and tools

 

[James 2345]

When you put it like that, that's a lot of chemical!!! That looks ideal, I think i shall just have to give it a go and see what happens!!!!

What about something like this?

Quite a few drag a little trailer behind them round here.
Always wondered what it's like as it must be completely invisible to the driver.

 

[Mursal]

Probably have a reversing camera for parking the trailer?

 

[James 2345]

Pulling a trailer around doesn't really appeal to me for some reason... I haven't got a tow hitch, but I shouldn't have though it would be a major problem to get one. It's just the constantly taking it on and off... Contracting I do quite a few single fields away from any others.

I can't see a lot on that link?

Just thought I'd show you my solution for my chemical storage issue!!! I've made the box so I can fit he crop deflector on the front of it without having to take it off! Hopefully it'll help

Don't take this wrong I am not meaning to be funny, I am thinking of doing similar but is it legal to put it out front?

 

[James 2345]

Yeah I think it is... When we had our NROSO meeting, our agronomist said it was a grey area....I can't carry it in the cab, if I carry it in the tank and have a crash it will go every where... And I don't think we're insured format either...i used to carry it on the crop deflector. So, in my opinion, it's better than that.

Will it nor buck lep on the chains on the rough ground/passageways?
No, looking again, I think they are only there for support .............
Very tidy ...........
