Telescopic bag lifter

[Khan]

Anybody running one of these on a biggish speader-Amazone TS3200? Do they push the weight back much? Is there enough clearance under the boom on a bigger spreader? Normally run with MF 6718S and 850kg front block with 5 bags in if reasonable ground. Looking to try to streamline contract spreading for smaller customers, we have bulk fert augered in from trailer for dairy men and bigger customers but its a pain for just a few ton, bags would be handier, especially for grazing blends and being able to drop off trailer with few bags at customers the day before. Wouldn't need to put 5 bags in at one time, could run with 3 or 4 if fert close by.

Something like this? You'd certainly move the weight back a lot so would want more on the front of the tractor to balance it out.

I run the above crane on a Vicon RSXL EDW 3200L capacity on a JD 6620 with 500kg on the front linkage. 2400KG is ok, 3000kg is only on level smooth fields at high rates. Always meant to extend the boom by18 inches but never have.

Is that a Kuhn lifter you have on that as well? I've seen some Rossmore ones locally but they look a bit less substantial than the one in the top pic from Brisel. It looks like it would clear my spreader ok. Do you have any problem with big deep bags of urea clearing the sides?

If its me and not @hally you are asking yes its a Kuhn. Urea just gets in, another reason to fit an extension, capacity at full extension is 1000kg, a throwback to 500kg bags, so will lift 600kg a bit further out, I know of two that have been extended.

That looks like it will have less offset than the Kuhn.

Yeah doesn’t move it back much tbh, we used it a lot when we rented a farm a few miles away but have no need fir it now. It was very useful.
