Is 720rpm too high? Does it smash the beans? Anyone tried it?
Beans though and Amazone ZA-V

Don't know, but can't see beans getting smashed.
Just spun beans on with our ZAM at normal PTO speed (540 for us). No problems.

Is that PTO or the discs? Shouldn’t need an extra high RPM. They are big and heavy and go for miles. We put them on with our old ZAM at 540 PTO. No problems but remember to keep the ploughing a good distance away or they’ll land on top of it. I tend to do the outside run a but closer to the edge than 12 m otherwise they’d be too thin round the outside. You’ll feed some pheasants and mice but they aren’t dressed and cheap off the heap normally.
Hi, have you had a go at spreading some beans with your zav? Looks like I will be attempting the same with ours. I wonder if the disc speed will need to be a fair bit slower anyway as the beans will rocket out of the spreader at 720.
have done some, yes. mixed with TSP in the hopper and spread. no cracking or shattering of the beans at all. quite pleased.
That's good then
did you run at 720 and are you using the app settings?

Did some on a za-m 720 rpm but the cal factor on app was way outThat's good then
Ok thanks, was the veins settings somewhere near on the app, think I will have a play on some stubbles tomorrow and see what happens

Vane settings were fine, beans were just off the heap so had some rubbish amongst them so that probably affected the settings, only did 3 fields so didn’t really fiddle too much to try n get it better
yes 720 and app settings for vanesThat's good then

We set Flow Factor at 55 on our ZAM (Amados box, not weigh cells).

We are going to spin some on then plough
Do you powerharrow when done

that would spoil the simplicity and just add twice the cost its only the future travelling over will be smoother if its worked down after the plough, simpler tool than power harrow and only arond the headland wouls be my advice as a compromise
depsnd s abit on your plough as well,narrow furrows will be better imo like 14 inch along with that try for 125 to 150 mm depth no more.

We are on nice land
16 inches furrow
So plough in at 8 to 9 inch is no good???

tbh ive not ploughed them in deeper than 7 " and at 14 " they wont all go in under to the full depth.but a lot will off the skims ,
but yes shallower the better imo.as long as they are burried

Personally I would do if it's dry enough.
Could you plough and plough press? That would be ideal.
