G and h is good in my opinion, get all pu stuff it will last ages

 

[kej81]

Never seen or used it!

Snap tite best. Get the brown stuff for 5". G and H the older stuff similar to oreflex, the outer casing peels off

Hilco 5” off Tramspread and 4” snap works vvv well for us, had 5” for 11 years and stil v good pipe

I've mostly g and h and one length of snap tite in 4",I hate the snap tite as it has big ridges in the pipe and twists far easier.

Have angus 6",it's been excellent but feck it's heavy.

 

[kej81]

We have some Angus 4” now and it’s a lot heavier than the snaptite 4”

 

[CrevisbigX]

Very pleased with the hilcoflex Tramspread 100% to deal with

i find pu pipe twists very easy, and when its gets a bit of age about it it will suddenly start bursting.....but in like 8 inch slits rather than little holes.

Must be dodgy pipe buddy

There both good hose
You can buy a Dutch spec hose that doesn't twist and knot up like some of the drag hose sold in the UK

I like pu, only trouble is reeling it up in small fields as you can’t get it nice and tight on the reeler

What make of reeler have you got?

 

[kej81]

I think we are going to go for 600m of 5” and 800m of 4” all snaptite

Tramspread bobbins

I’d go all 5 inch, 4 inch is a waste of time if your having all new! Not much more expensive

Have been told 5”will be too heavy to drag on tramline jobs for top dressing

Tramspread bobbins

How do you find them? Easy to use???
