Spray Wheels

[Davylad]

What do most people use on Tractor for spraying?
20.8 or wider ..24 mtr tramlines here .

 

[BuskhillFarm]

I use 20.8 on tractor and trailed sprayer all year around and only 18m

 

[snipe]

380s

 

[davidroberts30]

9.5's
21m trams

 

[e3120]

Also 9.5s

 

[Flat 10]

12.4s on 24s

I used to run 650’s on tractor and sprayer. Most of the pre em would be done with 900 on the tractor as I used to drill and spray with the same tractor. Would put 380 all round in spring for the narrow wheels

Lots of lost crop from wheels running down crop. I’m on 380s on 36 meters. Just gone wider from 30 to 36 and in that alone I’ll save 20 plus acres. Cheapest crop I’ll grow.

320/85r32 and 600 26.5 on a 24m case sp but thinking of vf420/85r30 or 380/85R30 to gain lower tyre pressures

If you can go to a taller wheel. They go thru mud better and a bigger foot print helps with compaction.

I’ve always been on 650,s on tractor too … but a new to me tractor has arrived on 520’s ( NEW) and I’m thinking I should possibly change to 620’s or 659’s… can’t make my mind up !!

Leaving 18.4s on.
Despite the wet spring I have no ruts anywhere.
I loathe rowcrops.

 

[Tompkins]

This season I've been running 580s down a 500mm tramline, for some reason it seems to work but nod sure how?

24m tramlines.

 

[snarling bee]

620s on 36m

You would not know they were that wide from the road, and with RTK there will be no steering wobble to knock any extra down.
TBH if it is wet early April whatever you roll with the wide wheels gets irretrievably pushed into the dirt anyway.

Totally agree. Running the crop down a bit is fudge all when it comes to wider sprayer widths.

Reason why I never think of getting row crops. It’s always wet and hilly here

 

[DrWazzock]

My “wide” tyres on my Bateman hi lo are 17”.
My row crops are 12”.
My 17” tyres left a deep rut this spring.
I used to have 24” lgp tyres but all they did was leave a wider deep rut and wouldn’t grip. If I backed into a corner I couldn’t get out again as they just filled with mud reversing back.
Tracklayer?

 

[Davylad]

Thanks Gentlemen for the replies… it helped it make my decision… cheers

 

[DeeGee]

My mistake, thought this was about restoring classic tractors……

710s all year round here on 48m tramlines in Lincolnshire , if you’ve been running through that crop in the autumn and early spring the tram is there all year , I spray off barley and rape and the wheels just run down the tram , there’s no crop run down or lost
