Chapter 3 - General Information & Specs - 9 Windrow 2500L Operator’s Manual MY18 - REV 1
Windrow sprayers are fitted with width adjustable
rigid axles. They have 1.2 meters of under axle ground
clearance.
The axle can be adjusted from 3 meters to 3.5 meters
track width in 100 mm increments.
For further information on the axle refer to Chapter
7 ‘Pre-Operation’ and Chapter 10 ‘Lubrication &
Maintenance’.

Wheels & Tyres
All tyres used on Goldacres sprayers have been
designed to carry the maximum loaded weight of the
sprayer when travelling at 20 km/h. The load capacity
of the tyres decreases as travelling speed increases so
it is important to heed this travelling speed limit.
The tyre pressure also needs to be checked regularly
(check every 8 to 12 hours of operation) and
maintained at the required tyre pressure.
There are many factors concerning the appropriate
tyre pressure for a particular tyre and load. For
example, the tyre size, rim type, tyre status (driven
or free rolling), load, speed, haul length and ply rating
all need to be considered when determining the tyre
pressure.
The rated pressure and capacity, shown in the chart
below, is applicable when the machine is stationary.
The cyclic loading pressure & km/hr is applicable for
machines that are loaded and moving.
DETERMINING CORRECT TYRE PRESSURE:
• Determine the maximum weight of the sprayer
when loaded (do not forget to add the weight of
the any other tanks on the sprayer when filled).
• Allow for each tyre to carry half the maximum
loaded weight of the sprayer (this does not allow
for any load on the tractor pull or cyclical loading,
which provides for a safety margin).
• Determine what tyre size and ply is on the sprayer.
• Determine what appropriate tyre pressure
will provide the load capacity required by the
respective tyre as indicated in the following table.
For further information on wheels and tyres please
refer to Chapter 10 ‘Lubrication & Maintenance’.
NOTE: If a tyre is replaced with a different brand
or size, please contact the supplier for correct air
pressures to suit the load carrying capacity of this
machine.
NOTE: PSI = Kpa x 0.145
EXAMPLE: 240 Kpa x 0.145 = 34.8 PSI
