Drilling with 6m drill with 32m sprayer

[Farmerdunk]

Does anybody do this? Looking at a 6m drill, to match in with our 32m sprayer. Been told it can be done. Just wondering if anyone on here does, and how you got round it? Cheers

Put the tramlines in with the sprayer

How? Easiest to cut 1m off each end of sprayer booms if you want to use drill tram lining?

The dealer said it is possible, they have done it before. Not to sure how, think they moved the tramline pipes.

I'm 6m drill and looking to go 30m with the sprayer, not really for tramlines but more for running the sprayer down a drill wheeling.

Well 32 doesn’t divide by 6. Ask them and tell us!! Or extend the drill 0.2m each end....

Hopefully get an answer tomorrow. If I do I’ll let you know.

It would probably be cheaper and easier to get a movable GPS system for your tractor and sprayer instead if you are not already running one, you will never go back to steering again!

Forget tramlining with the drill. Drive where you want with the spray and use GPS, job done. Be ideal in a damp spring as you can drive on the crop. Won't make any difference come harvest time.

It's theoretically possible, 5 1/3 runs per tramline. If 2m track, need normal pair of tramlines 1m each side of centre, but also outside coulter on each side switchable, breaking the drill up into 3 x 2m.

Go up field on run 1 with tram in centre. On run 6 back down field use 1 pair of centre one's (away from drilled land) and outside one on same side. On run 7 just the outside one to finish the pair. On run 11 1 outside one, run 12 another outside one and 1 centre pair. Then on run 17 back to centre.

I said it was theoretically possible, control software could be written, but not recommended!

Obviously!

Won’t you end up with the wheelings being under ripe when the rest is fit, or is this a fallacy these days?

By the time its had 20 diferent sprays and top dressings, there wont be anything growing in the tram lines

I suspect it is theoretically possible, as is 4m into 18m.
It'll involve moving the tramlines to one side - so no pre em markers can be used. Starting on half shut off, and the correct side next to the hedge.
Need a pen and paper to work it out.....and possibly Rachel Riley!

That works nicely. No half width shut offs around the headland.

Keep it simple, go 30m or 36 with sprayer or put your trams in with sprayer.

Why a 6m drill? Surely the 32m is based on 4 and 8m drills?

We have a 4m vaderstad, but looking at a tine drill. Got our lighter ground drill but nothing on our heavier clay, got 400ac plus to drill in spring. About 1/2 our cropping.
6m to cover the ground quicker and less wheelings. Mounted 6m.

Then surely all you need is 2 taps, 1 either end boom shutting off the las 2 nozzles each end then you have the best of both worlds, sorted for 4m and 6m drilling.
