Yes no problem at all . This 10.5 m drill has run fine with a single accord fan mounted on the front hopper .

You plan on extending all the 32mm hoses?

It's probably doable, though care will be needed to make sure they aren't stretched, pinched or dip too much when turning if the cultivator is trailed from the hopper.

Yep that's right, just a thought really.

Yes that is certainly something to consider, thanks.

Are there any potential problems using a 32-outlet mushroom from a 4m drill and blocking off however many for the number of rows required?

Fit the mushroom on the coulter bar , weavings will make you a mushroom with the amount of out let’s you require .or you can get a 24 outlet head and a plate that reduces it to 18 .

Asking the view of the collective before spend money on the wrong thing. We plan to blow grass seed back to this upstack from a front hopper. The delivery pipe along the tractor is 5 inch. The upstack 4 inch. I need to buy 32mm ID pipe to go from the upstack to the rollers
Will we run into back pressure issues with the change in diameter on the pipes? I was hoping there won't be too much air needed to get the seed back, and by using all the outlets on the head unit it will be ok?

No you won’t have any issues with back pressure. I’ve got a load of spreader plates if you need some .
