[QUOTE="Mattcamb, post: 2865530, member: 9179"] A couple of questions- are you running the double acting steering circuit in float position all the time, when going forwards? And is the steering rams isolation tap under the rhs of the tank open? If yes, I'm afraid I can't help much! The only advice I could offer is to consider that the control point is actually the rear packer axle line and as such the turn characteristics are like a rear axled lowloader - slow and late! I remember it took me a while to get comfortable using the steering to reverse. I found it helpful to think of it like a fifth wheel with a really short drawbar. Then I used the hydraulic control to "manage" the steering wheels while reversing, stopping tgem getting away from you- rather than forcing the wheels to go where you wanted. The other reversing tip is to try and set up so that you only ever really have to reverse roughly straight! It makes life much easier! When you said you were considering adding another pivot point between the seed cart and toolbar, my first reaction was "NOOOOO! Four steering pivot points!- But after thinking a bit more, I'm coming around to your idea- more each time I think about it! You may have to lock the steering elements on the cart to the straight ahead position to stop it weaving when you don't need the extra articulation, though, such as in work, or at speed in transport. You're spot on; fantastic tool in the field though. Mine had Terragrip tines which were as good as the Multigrip. Sounds like you've got some really good ideas in the pipeline though, and I'm really interested in seeing where you go with the developments. You've got me dreaming up my own - admittedly fantasy - ULD drill mods now! Off to Agriaffaires to browse for inspiration. [/QUOTE]
