WOW... thats a lot of boom.. What is the ground speed ? Must be a lot of acres to need 120 ft at a pass ? ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

JPG, that’s quite the sprayer with numerous induction tanks. What are you seeding? Like your retaining stubble program - saves moisture & lessens soil erosion. The AC7060 looks right at home pulling that big sprayer. For buying it site unseen, it must have been in great condition to be put to work so quickly. Great buy! |

Does the sprayer have it's own engine? I'm seeing what looks like an air filter housing and breather, and a battery hanging on the side of the frame. ------------- Looking at the past to see the future. '53 WD, '53 WD45, WD snap coupler field cultivator, #53 plow,'53 HD5B dozer Duct tape.... Can't fix stupidity. But will muffle the sound of it! |

Does it ever get so warm in the cab that you would put window tint on the glass? We do it up here (just the top 12 inches) in northern Alberta because the sun hangs low in the evenings and blinds your eyes. |

And to think it's practically winter there right now. I'll bet it doesn't get down to -40°F Like here in Minnesota in January?  ------------- A little CQB never hurt anybody. |

| Thanks for the replies,try and answer a few queries,ground speed is anywere from 7.5 to 12 mph depending on water output.We are seeding wheat, thats all i grow now,used to grow some lupins and canola 20 years ago but its been easier and more profitable to stick with wheat. Yes the sprayer has its own 9hp diesel motor running the pump,put on a big donaldson air cleaner for the motor to handle the dust better. The different smaller tanks are,starting from tractor end,first small one is hand washer,next is clean water to flush pump and lines with,next is a foam tank for the foam marker ,which i dont use anymore as i have gps ,and thelast tank up near the aircleaner is a diesel tank for the pump motor. It has enough fuel for halfof seeding, 5500acres. Ron this time of the year its only about 15 to 20 degrees celcius daytime max,it has been down to 2 or 3 some mornings when i start. But you still need the aircon a bit to keep cool. On my other allis tractors we black out the top 4 to 5 inches of the front glass to stop sun glare. |
