8300 Liquid Fertilizer Applicator 20 FAST AG Solutions
3.5 Equipment Matching
To insure the safe and reliable operation of the
applicator, it is necessary to use a tractor with
appropriate specifications. As a guideline, insure that
these requirements are met:
1. Tractor Horsepower:
Refer to table below minimum recommended
horsepower
for your machine. Although
recommended tractor horsepower is not required
to pull machine, it does provide required strength
in drawbar as hitch is very heavy. This will also
insure that the unit has the required stability and
control in hilly terrain and during transport.
2. Front End Weights:
By following recommendations for tractor power,
tractor will have sufficient weight to provide
stability during field operation or when
transporting. It is also recommended that each
tractor be equipped with a full compliment of
suitcase weights on front of tractor. This will
provide the required weight on front for turning
and extra traction if equipped with front wheel
assist.
3. Hydraulic System:
Tractor hydraulic system must be capable of 8
gpm (24 lpm) at 2000 psi (13,800 kPa) to operate
lift cylinders and drive motor. Either closed center
or open-centered systems can be used. However
an open centered hydraulic system is limited to 8
gpm maximum.
Note: Contact factory for an optional flow
control for use with high flow open center
system.
Four remote outlets are required to operate the
applicator.
1. Tool bar lift cylinders and wing kick.
2. Inner wing extend/fold cylinders.
3. Outer wing extend/fold cylinders
4. Chemical / fertilizer pump drive motor.
Note: Always place hydraulic control lever
in detent to provide a constant flow of oil
to pump drive motor.
3.6 Controls
It is recommended that all operators review this
section of manual and metering pump manual to
familiarize themselves with location and function of all
machine controls and settings before starting.
1. Metering Pump:
•An Operator’s Manual is supplied with machine.
Review manual carefully to determine required
hydraulic setting on pump for your application.
2. Liquid System Pressure Gauge:
•This gauge monitors pressure in liquid circuit pro-
viding flow to injector orifices. It is normally used
to determine pressure in chemical/fertilizer circuit
when setting system for a specific application rate.
Monitor gauge during operation. Stop and check
system if pressure changes suddenly
