Avadexer build.....my way

[4755dave]

The weigh cells just weigh hopper contents.
I'm using a separate rate governor which deals with sections and areas correctly

I need contra rotating drives for the metering units......
So

So the normal rate governor which I’m assuming is basically like a seed drill will give you an estimate of how much product has been used out of the tank and the Griffith elder bit is just to see if the rate governor estimate is accurate?

Kuhn aero rate control.
That will give ha covered.
Cross ref to scales to check calibration really.
I've had batch of avadex fall through it in the past

Bit of chafer yellow splashed arround

 

[Cab-over Pete]

We all need yellow in our lives.

 

[4755dave]

Chafer yellow to match the booms.
It will stand out

 

[4755dave]

2 now handed pairs of venturi....
Just need to fit and test

 

[4755dave]

Moving along.
The shiney venturi Bowes and metering mechs all fitted under the tank in the chassis.
100mm air pipes fitted and a temporary splitter off fan bodged in.

yes it blows products.
I tried a bit of osr....works well and some spring barley. Yup that too whistles out to 24m.

To say I'm chuft is an understatement.

 

[Cab-over Pete]

Update....
A week ago I thought I'd pop to the neighbours weighbridge.
A dull thud as we approached warp speed 1....hmmm
I wonder whats fell off.....
Transpires the wiring to rear lights and air pipes got entangled in the rear prop.....neatly wrapping it all up.
When I got it back to workshop the water pump let go.
Water pump from deeres 1500 quid and 3 weeks....
Luckily Nick Young had a used one. Yes it's a 6600 engine but it is the industrial one with an odd ball pump.

TodY I'm back to where I was a week ago.

Oh well better now than post phone call to go spreading.

NSTS awaits early next week
