[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 9253191, member: 718"] I really don’t think that the 148 is up to handling a Vicon with a 600kg bag of fertiliser, although I could be wrong because the engine is mounted six inches further forward on these than on a 135, which should make a difference. I think I’m correct in thinking that you will need a 700 litre hopper or larger to hold 600kgs without spillage, which will probably need a very high extension. Do not buy a 500 litre machine or extension because it just will not hold 500kgs of the lighter density products. Most bags are 600kgs do you will need a 650 litre or larger volume hopper. [/QUOTE]
