Silly question time
Couldn't you have used a old tractor wheel rim? Looks fancy like

No it has to move the hose past the tractor wheels as it will be on the front linkage & the hose runs down the side of the tractor , had a one last year smaller & you had to use it on the back so sold that one & made a bigger one to make life easy.

So you have one tractor spreading and another shifting the hose about for the spreading tractor ?

Yes

Has that tractor got to travel to each end of the field

 

[Speedstar]

Has that tractor got to travel to each end of the field

Yes , depending on how dry it is as the tractor with the hose humper can pull half the pipe with it so in wet conditions you make no mess & if dry every 2nd tramline it moves the hose

Very impressive setup you've made there[emoji106][emoji106]

Would love to see it working! ... you got the Cornell running sweet now?

Yes the Cornell is running very well , will move 500,000 gal a day no problem & use less that 200 litres of fuel. Give us a call & come & see it work or you will see the video we are having made of it working with the 24 meter dribble bar & the hose humper

 

[Mc115reed]

Not doing bad then I generally get 250,000 in a 12 hour day using anywhere from 200-300 litres fuel haha will give you a ring next time I'm in Scotland Iv got your number somewhere [emoji1360]

Must have some big fields

 

[Speedstar]

Must have some big fields

Why is that ?, fields are 15 to 100 acre in size

 

[Tim1989]

Round here in Dorset. 15ac is considered big [emoji15]

 

[jack6480]

Took me a good day to pump on 8 paddocks ranging from 6 to 10 acres pumping about 230,000 gallon out the hole. You want some ground to pump 500,000 gallon a day

 

[jack6480]

Me having a go at it

 

[jack6480]

Can anyone recommend any lights i could get to mount on the back of the dribble bar for working at night as my tractor lights just shine off the frame. i have a 7 pin plug on the dribble bar thank you

This thread is a real insight in to umbilical rigs to me a none slurry man but someone who acquired an engineering qualification or 2 on my travels and enjoys making things.

We use a lot of digestate which is spread by a big joskin and dribble bar down the tramlines. Supported by wagons they can shift approx 1000 to 1100 cum a day. Can't see what an umbilical would add to this system in our case as limiting factor is the wagons but if you were pumping direct from the plant or a lagoon to outlying land as they were at one point then could see benefit of umbilical. What sort of capacity do you have per day with a rig like your's speedster?

All very interesting stuff

Cheers

The biggest thing for me would be compaction,how heavy is your big Joskin?
