Amazone UF

[Jon]

Considering one of these with a front tank and would be interested to hear user experiences, but I have a couple of questions.

First question ,

Unfortunately with a front tank I cannot have a quick fit frame, is there plenty of room for fitting, but more importantly, is there room for getting in to release the lower arms when sprayer is covered in mud ?

Second question,

Are there any user experiences regarding removing the two pumps for repair when surrounded by a water tank that has been squeezed in under the top link ?

Many thanks.

Jon.

Kuhn? do you mean Amazon UF mounted sprayer with front tank?
If its the amazon then yes the front tank is easy to remove with the jockey wheels, plenty of room. The clean water tank around the pumps has 2 bolts and 1 hose connection, take off the pto shaft and it slides out forwards (not on the tractor). Both pumps are then on a frame which can be slid out after removing 4 bolts. Valves can be changed with the pumps in situ.

Oh for heaven's sake.

Yes, I meant Amazone.

I'll try and edit it.

Thanks for comment though, that's what I was wondering about.

@admin, could the title be changed from Kuhn to Amazone please ?

How do you find the room between sprayer and tractor wheel @No5 ?

Without the quick fit frame, are there remote release latches ? Or is it squeeze between tyre and sprayer.

Plenty of room for a normal sized person..

If you are at high risk of type 2 diabetes then it may be a squeeze..

Not too much of a squeeze and I'm 6'4 and 19 stone.

No, I'm average build, but one man band, so need to be happy I can remove kit easily, even if covered in mud/chemical.
