We went from a 1600 gallon abbey on russian wheels to a 2300 gallon hispec on big recessed wheels.

in wet ground the 2300 was easier to pull.
Where you would get caught out with the bigger tank is hills/slopes.
The tractor could be on its knees trying to pull a full tank up when it meets an incline.

The other thing you need is good brakes on the tank

A friend borrows a 2500 gallon tank and spreads with a 95hp 7740.
He reckons you could be going for the low box to get up some steel slopes

Thanks, i think I'll keep an eye out for a nice 2000/2200G tank with big recessed wheels. It would be as big as I'd need and be a good help twords the 1800,

Yes, gives tractor a wider wheel base, better stability for loader.

Doubt it but it won't be a overnight ban I'd say. Gradual over time. I'll have it worn out be then

The life I have!

I was just thinking about the mention of slurry spreading at evening time to cut down on emissions and the claim of a reduction of 20%. That would be a saving of 20% in nitrogen from the slurry.
All good..
Except as we all guardians of the soil know is that the earthworms and deep burrowing types come up to the surface to feed and move at dusk and thus the potential 20% savings would instead equate to an immeasurable loss of the ground workers/soil fertilizers.

Maybe that's the plan or just plain ignorance on whoever put the paper together. But it's a total negative imv especially now that it's put together by "those who should know all about the soil".

Anyone have a teagle spreader? Are you setting your numbers from the front, middle or back of the marker? It's fairly wide and will give a 5mm difference from front to back. Was trying to upload a picture but I don't know how on this new type sight . Thanks

I was going with the middle. I wasn't sure either so hedged my bets on the middle.

Is it the nitrogen ammonia in slurry that does the damage to the worm populations.. Is it thick or thin watery slurry that's worse?

The sealing of the ground which restricts air into it

Apparently the worms come to the surface when you're spreading because they think it's raining to be met with a layer of ammonia and fec all oxygen,
There can be quite a few dead on top of the ground after spreading

You kind of have it there as well.
These slurry bugs that are being marketed now are supposed to introduce more aerobic bacteria into the slurry and break the slurry down before use. So if you weren't using those bacteria already, the slurry would be high in anaerobic bacteria from the conditions in the tank and cow. And then you spread it on the soil and it immediately uses up any oxygen in the soil.

I spread slurry treated with "bugs" this spring by splash plate and zero or very little smell after and it came out dark watery. Basically it could have been grazed in a few days after spreading.
Well impressed.

Which one did you use. I was chatting the sobac fella at the ploughing and I am tempted to give it a try.

Used 3 types together.
Magenta stuff, slurry king and Actiglene.

After spreading the slurry in January there was a difference in grass. But then in March there was a reduced difference in ground spread v's not. But now with the increased temperatures in the last few days. The ground spread has taken off big-time v's not.
...Scientific report there.^^...

I set from the front. When mine is screwed all the way closed, the front of marker is at start of scale.

Tractamotors in Cavan are the importers. Ask for Joe McDonald.

They're advertising it's use on grassland too.

Guess it works on cereal tillers before stem extension and not much rigidity as it's soft flexible leaf vs weed stems with rigidityin the stem.

From the clips they have up.
It looks like they can set the blade width to whatever weed they want to take out or cereal they want to keep.
So say the cereal stem is 5mm anything above say 6 or 7mm is cut.
If that makes sense?

Nice job Reggie, they're a fine machine. Is it a KG or a KE? Would you ever think of getting a 'piggy-back' for her and running the tine harrow behind if it was required? Make a great one pass with 2 independent machines. Only thing would be the extra weight out the back with a serious tail swing I guess.....

It's a KG. I'll be putting another APV airseeder for it in time
