You beat me too it

Look how wide the track is though; the tank isn’t much longer than a 4 or 5000 litre but I bet it’s half as wide again. I’m also intrigued what drill width goes into 36.5m…other than 36.5m or is this some imperial thing where drills are in yards or ounces or whatever and sprayers are in metres?! I looked at a bifold 28m sprayer once and that made me cringe when it unfolded with all that strain on the hinge…I wonder if the wheels touch the ground during unfolding on this?

3 meter track width. No tramlines here so no matter about the drill but it is actually 12.2 meters so just about perfect

Biggest problem with it I’d the green star rate controller the previous owner used is not isobus compatible so until I get the time to fit my arag controller from old sprayer I can’t use it.
currently need to get 3000 acres sprayers this week and wanted this one going

That’s a big sprayer. Do you do tatty work or just cereals

Front tank part of the sprayer? Also does the stoll have air brakes?

I built that the same year the sprayer was made actually. Holds 2200 liters and yes it will be plumbed in to use. 60 liters ha 200 ha per fill. 80 will be around 150 per fill.

no brakes on it at all. Airline is supplying the axle suspension and the nozzle shutoffs. Has a 12 volt compressor but I may leave it on tractor supply

A few years ago we brought a Kemp squeeze, IIRC it was on @Gerbert recommendation. We’ve been really impressed with it and imported a couple more.

Nice. Individual nozzle shut off? Not much of a sprayer guy our's has 3 sections controlled by 1/4 turn taps for channel spraying.

No not individual. It’s 9 section at moment but when we get some cash around I’m going to convert to 12 section 3ts to give me better control over pressure and speed

Believe it or not, there was a Russian Ossa / 'SA8 Gecko' seen leaving a local airfield a couple of years ago, on the back of a Manners Transport (the combine breakers) low loader, in convoy with what looked like an American F150 towing a radar trailer. Around the same time there was a tracked version spotted heading north on the A1. Presumably all to do with an electronic warfare exercise from RAF Spadeadam.

Possibly or owned private collector and heading to a reenactment event?

I genuinely never thought I’d be posting something this monumental in this thread, and I’m still not sure my cow hobby operation justifies it (but it’s 6cyl turbo so.)

now I own a tractor with more buttons on it than my tv remote, can I please be an honorary arable farmer ??

There can’t be many 6465 sold with datatronic!

Looks a good one. Hope it goes well for you!

Probably acquired by the US/British MOD and used for excercises to see if the RAF can avoid being detected by it. Very common to acquire enemy weaponry for this and of course Eastern Europe or Former Yugoslavia would often be a rich source of the goods.
