@RosengrenFarms Looks great. Lots of rocks lifted out at seeding time in Oz. Is that TerraClear tech? Contacts?

@FFrischke @pencejm The calibration measurements aren’t linear.

[Nick Gillett @Nick__Gillett]

@FFrischke Hey Farren, nice setup, send me your details and I’ll post you something better to play with. [email protected] or text the phone number on your Shuttle Gauge. Cheers

@Maddog6461 @AGCOcorp Tractor or sprayer?

[Nick Gillett @Nick__Gillett]

@Maddog6461 @LowBoomLowDrift We’ve built something similar with a 9 x product QuickDraw. Holds about 24 x totes plus pallets of ammo and granules. We’ve got water tanks spread across the farm.

@brendanw59 Deere’s playbook since 1837.

[Nick Gillett @Nick__Gillett]

@brendanw59 @BlaseFarms With 18m seeder and TBT box when we turn to get tractor 5m from fence. Hairpin turns. This could be an issue for you? With Cat tractor the implement needs to lift at correct time so as not to affect turning procedure as drive goes to 1 track.

[Nick Gillett @Nick__Gillett]

@brendanw59 Good work.
Any implement size limitations?
Obstacle detection range?
Does tractor need CVT transmission?
Implement lift tied in with turn procedure?

[Nick Gillett @Nick__Gillett]

@ToddQuinlivan It may reduce the inaccuracy ratio but probably wouldn’t eliminate it.

@MeredithGuthr15 @DPIRDbroadacre Hi Meredith,
Great data. Is it possible to map flowering and grain fill period vs vegetative development. Some of the anomalies may be attributed to the dry season with no rainfall until late May for some areas?

@Maddog6461 @agleaderAP Doubtful. Was Doug Jeans. Ring SA office.

@ipaddockapps @Tedthekelpie Even runlines going North & East is what we do. Can confuse some drivers. 🙄

@beautyson05 @garyjlang_lang Give me a buzz if you’re still looking for a cart. I’ve got a TBH 6000L. 0427862007

[Nick Gillett @Nick__Gillett]

@BenHobley Bruce should be able to handle it.

@shuttlegauge Thanks @DaveyJohn_676 for confirming our extensive calibration to produce Shuttle Gauge®️. A simple solution for Chemical batching. Your setup is next level. 😎

[John Davey @DaveyJohn_676]

Developing a Standard Operating Procedure with the new batching trailer. The SDS says the SG of UltraMax is 1.379. I needed 90lt or 124kg. I marked off 90lt with a Shuttle Gauge and added 124kg to the batch by the scales, which coincided with 90lt by the gauge. 👍👍
