[QUOTE="Smithjamesjohn, post: 8131990, member: 169361"] Irrelevant of the price difference between liquid and granular I’m thinking of moving back to granular for a few reasons as well as Urea being the cheapest form of N. We are running a 6000l 32m trailed we bought cheap about 8 years ago but it’s well worn out. We’re at the stage where we need to do the pump, flow meter, pretty much all the water pipes due to them starting split as well as all the hydraulic pipes. Boom pivots and rear linkage frame and bushes etc and that’s not to mention some boom welding in places. Were seeing rate build up issues in herbicide and fert applications so it’s time to do something with the machine. The cost of the repairs are more than the used value so it’s time to move it on. Thinking of buying a used SP for chemicals and moving back to 24m. Something £50,000-£60,000 in value like a Househam factory refurb and then a 3t new spinner with weighcells but I don’t need sectional control. Any views on what type of spinner around £10,000?
