Your having a laugh , bauer couplings on to a suction hose rated at 4 bar max for the return,Bauer coupling on top of the pressure side to prime it , that is a H & S problem from the start, Good luck with a set up like that.

There is not much pressure going down the return hose as its only taking away the excess pressure, the most of it is still going down the main pipe to the field. Agree about the one on top, have you seen it done differently?

had a look on his fb page
very tidy front tank setup
so the question is.... is this front tank setup needed or do the headland management setups work!

Reading through the first few posts again is it like section control your after similar to a sprayer???good idea but if you close off say 5m of a 12m bar it will just distribute the 5m worth over the other 7m this may upset the accuracy your looking for.
It gets right complicated and expensive now adays to spread a bit of sh!t[emoji90] [emoji1] [emoji1]

All this can be done with our section controller by the raven controller and the isobus on the tractor working with green star and a vario tractor speeding the tractor up when you shut some of the boom off ,it is all at a cost ,we are going to go down this road now we have green star on the spreader tractor just need the vario box next,our dribble bar is state of the art technology as I can see all this being asked for in years to come,we are all so going to run the pumps by the green star as well all from the spreader tractor

Yes take a look at how our pump is plumbed up in the reeler thread in the workshop part of the forum

Ye these are just common full spec dribble bars nowadays i suppose.but the op has stated hel be having a 9 or 12m dribble bar and dosent need a high output system due to digestate having to be transported by trucks.these big systems are ok in the right areas where theres scope ond space and its all within a reasonable pumping distance.but for an everyday useable system in a livestock orientated area i cant see how youl ever get a return on your investment and be able to use it in every field any day of the year.

I don't think the slurry mesiah has been able to make his system work properly yet, maybe why he's had to have another go at building a pump and then resort to running Doda pumps on 390hp tractors.

You can come and see our Cornell pumps running any time you like as well have two of them now second pump unit was made to make it safer working out of lagoons

I don't see a problem with the size of outfit 24m ain't to big only like using a 24m sprayer and I've never been in a field to small/big 2 steep or 2 uneven.

 

[Digester Man]

I was looking at a 24m setup and decided it was a bit on the heavy side, but maybe I am wrong? Ground tends to be delicate here when your out in the spring

With a hose Humper working with a 24 meter dribble bar working in tramlines in soft conditions will make a lot less mess thana 12 meter set. Up

but in an grass field in Ireland or the west coast in a wet February the 24m will be parked up when the 9 / 12m bars will travel on small lightweight tractors towing 4inch hose
west coast conditions vs east coast are worlds apart and this is what dictates that 12m is the preferred tool to get digestate flowing out during any suitable weather

I thought you'd built the second pump with a pitpal because you'd blown the seals in your Cornell pump by trying to suck too much with it? If you're wanting to put 250 cube an hour of thick slurry through they need to be force fed really.
I haven't seen many pics of your trailer pumps working.

on wet grass land you would be better off with a trailing shoe as a lot of the weight is on the ground with the trailing shoe , were as with a dribble bar all the weight is on the tractor

There are video's of it working on facebook, one is feed with a pit pal the other is not.

 

[Rob78]

What would the output difference in cube/hour be between a doda on 6&5" pipe and a Cornell on 6&5" pipe? Trying to work out what's different with these Cornell pumps

 

[Speedstar]

Doda with 5 & 6" hose about the 200 cube per hour
Cornell 4NHTB 200 to 350 cube depending on distance and weather it is force feed ,but the Cornell will cost at lot more to buy but will last longer and be cheaper to run

Why are there no pictures or videos of your Cornells working on TFF though? You have plenty of pictures of you building them but none working?

 

[Speedstar]

As I am at the spreading end not the pumping end to take photos,will get some off the pump man for if you are so bothered about them

 

[Foxcover]

It's ok he puts plenty on Snapchat but mostly of tractor pumps recently.
