It needs to drop to 3 inch to fit onto distribution head inlet
This was the trouble with mine, a reducer had been made half way down the line as the mushroom was 100mm. In the end I had to buy the pipe and Venturi to convert the hopper system from 110mm to 100mm. I think you’ll find you need the same size pipe from your Venturi to your distribution head.

Bugger but that does make sense

When I made a Venturi for my front hopper, the biggest thing I learnt is do not drop the size of the pipe after the Venturi. You can do whatever you want before but after will slow the air down a second time and mess the flow all up. Your better off modifying your distribution head to accept a larger pipe, so long as it's got enough outlets to not cause a restriction that is.

Been busy,
Some essential jobs like mounting and cutting (gulp) the 4 inch stainless tubes. Some procrastination jobs (new mudwings)

But all progress

Hopefully mushroom heads and outlets will land soon

CAD - Cardboard Aided Design

when we were only running 2D cad at FarmForce resorted to the cardboard for drill hoppers on a couple of occasions before moving up to 3D Cad which once you’ve changed your mindset and got your head round it is so much better and easier and allows you to be far more creative and imaginative.
