Clive's 750a chop shop / Pimp my drill !

[all_arable]

Was thinking Air Force twin outlet for 6m drill.
Products I was thinking of putting through include prilled urea, DAP, slug pellets, and various seeds (small seeds through to Sunflowers if it could handle them)

Hi
Does anyone have any drawings for a 6m hopper extension? Also has anyone fitted a Stocks Rotor Meter & what products are they putting through it?
Cheers

I don't have any drawings, when we had an extension made we took the top section of the hopper off and gave it to the fabricators to use as a template. We added 500mm and it will now easily hold 4 bags of seed.

Not sure if you know Matt Redman or if he is on this forum, if he is could someone tag him for you as I know he has an Air Force twin outlet fitted to a 6m. I also know he had the same problems as me and that Stocks have been developing solutions for it.

2t?

 

[KJM]

2t?

Yes.
My hopper has a partition to split it for grain/fert. It will comfortably hold 1000kg of seed and 1200kg of fert so I don't have to worry about getting the hopper fully empty before refilling.

Thanks. I've got some 500mm extensions coming soon. Do you think ti would fit in 3t seed only?

Looking back at my notes I think the extension is 2200x880x500mm which is 968L.
Original hopper 2300L on leaflet.
3268L New capacity.
@0.75 density = 2451kg of seed

Thanks, so an easy 2t all the time.

Is the last picture a hook for hanging your cap on?

Good guess, but no

I'm marking him down for failing to correctly attach the grommet on the camera wire. That and the highly dubious cap hook bodge. Someone might want to tell him that attaching the drill to the front linkage is not normal practice. Always thought him rather backwards.

I'm praising it up because in a few years time he may want to sell it to me for a knockdown price when he goes back to ploughing

What's the betting I'll be first? I'm a well known no-till sceptic.

You could start a thread if unsure !

Too busy being unsure about other things at the moment.

The camera cable goes straight out the top rather than through the wall, so grommet not needed.

The drill has to go on the front, because the crimper roller goes on the back, then we drive backwards with a reverse driving kit.
