umbilical headland

[Peppa pig]

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

Bauer is a big contender in high output pumping aswell.a good few boys with 24m dribble bars doing tramline work using them and dont seem to be changing to anything else.

Would not know as I do not do snap chat or what ever it is

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

Do you currently run an umblilcal system Rob?
We're spreading out to 21m consistently but via splash plates not dribble bar. Still looking at purchasing a 12m dribble bar but haven't made the call yet.

Have you come to a decision between the slurry Kat headland management or the front tank option?

no!
not had time to concentrate on it this week tbh
waiting on someone posting a video on here of the SK system working!!
or posting saying its working fine....

See theres a video of wox front tank system working on youtube today with a 24m dribble bar.thought it related to what OP was about.

well its super tidy, well thought through and well implemented.... so hats off to GW.

now iv seen a video of the SK headland management system in operation and to reset this whole thread to zero....
what I cant understand is why SK nor wox have posted a video up online showing the following sequence....
>
as you approach headland, the driver stopping flow (on the move) where you would turn a 24m sprayer off, then the tractor turning onto the headland, then reversing back to the point where the last part of the headland stopped at, then starting the dribble bar and doing the next section of headland before switching it off again and turning into the next 24 tramline.... switching the dribble bar on again (on the move) where you would switch a 24m sprayer back on again.
i.e NO TURNING WITH THE DRIBBLE BARS RUNNING.
>
at app 47seconds into the wox video it shows that the dribble bar has been discharging when turning into the previous headland so why would you do that if you have a front tank/headland management system?
is it that the front tank is not big enough to take all the liquid from the above sequence and its only big enough to take the flow from say 1/2 of the above sequence?
>
I hope someone at slurrykat is reading this post and a video will make its way online soon
likewise I hope that a wox video will be produced showing an entire headland turn as a sprayer would operate
>
my gut feel is that at >24m a combination of front tank and the pump being shut back will be needed to achieve what I'm looking for if >250 cu/hr is flowing but maybe slurrykat will be able to prove that their HMS does in fact work.
nothing resolved as yet.....
>
all the above said I'm not looking at 24m
at 12 or 14m quite probably the 2000L wox front tank is more than adequate for doing the above sequence from say a 140cu/hr system that's turning ALOT faster than a 24m bar.
I have not spoken to GW this week as I knew that the 1st tank was just about to go into use so will progress this over the coming week.

Good on ya for taking time to find what you want

Should be able to pump out the front tank to make extra room for the last part of the turn as spreading the headland shouldn't you?

yes I would have thought so....
its maybe just a rushed out video and I'm hoping there is much better to follow....
--
the video I have from SK does nothing to sell their product and in fact quite the opposite but again its not the finished article

 

[Speedstar]

I have just seen the ultimate system for this kind of work in the states yesterday,it is for putting slurry on to maize when it is over 2 ft tall, more info after I am home

is that you just up! ha ha...
sounds interesting.... by umbilical?

 

[dazza b]

Why do u need to shut flow completely off could u not put a half valve in to restrict flow? When injecting grass land I shut valve just before lifting then back up and open as injector is going down again never tell pump man to pull revs back

are you injecting slurry or digestate?
crop or grassland?
cu/hr
dribble bar width?

 

[dazza b]

Inject slurry onto grass, it's 5.2m wide cu/hr 140-180, we mainly use a 12m dribble bar and we use a half valve on that so when you approach the headland you shut it, get turned round the open again, what do you use?

don't use anything at the moment, just looking at setting up the system as I want it at the moment
don't want any over/under application on the headlands or around pylons etc
I want blanket application on the rye crops so that its a tidy job

 

[holywell farmer]

Blimey slurry spreading the modern way

Might worth talking to someone from rc Middleton, they have a Facebook page, looks like they spread digestate to crops like you want to.
