Continuous flow?
This one can do batch or continuous. Don’t know how many years they’ve had it.
Life of a drier, to be at risk of a fire. Biggest worry when using the big ones at work and they’re also used in continuous mode.

Ours worked automated batch, that part worked fine, but why they caught fire…just don’t know.
Any drier fire I’ve been around/aware of is chaff catching fire. Running the big 100 tonne ones, we cleaned them frequently and they had half hour checks to make sure nothing was smoking. Even when they weren’t cleaned out they were opened up to make sure there wasn’t a build up somewhere. Rarely hear of farmers checking theirs, usually they’re left on batch while they take a load here or there or clean the corral, etc. And cleaning seems to be once a season. I’m really surprised there’s not more drier fires

Did you get much late snowfall as I thought you said you hadn’t had much over winter For spring melt/moisture
Nope. Still dry. Snows mostly gone.

Fingers crossed for some spring rain then.
Hello Blaithin, there is a "debate" about the reintroduction of wolves into the uk, any stories from your neck of the woods, where, i assume, this is their natural stomping ground.Got to see some of the final stages of the leg. Like the belt all laid out and the lifting of the spouts. Other stuff I had to rely on updates at work. Looks good all finished
Been extra windy here and it hasn’t blown over yet, so bonus!
No, they don’t frequently come to this area in any sort of large numbers. Sometimes they’ll come out of the river valley but that’s about it.

You'd think a machine THAT big and THAT expensive would have 2 comfortable seats.....Yesterday I got to test out the buddy seat in the sprayer to see if it’s still as uncomfortable as last year.
It is.
The neighbour was seeding next door.
I’m not sure it even has one comfortable seat. His back bugs him when he has to spend long days in it. Thinking it’s foot support but it’s also one of those comfy looking lazy boy type seats that doesn’t actually support you in anyway way.You'd think a machine THAT big and THAT expensive would have 2 comfortable seats.....
I think it should have more air options considering it’s cost
A nice lumbar bag or something.
