@ipaddockapps @Tedthekelpie @abfarmdawg How many tonnes in a pile to make it worthwhile Mic? Assume more the better, I'm thinking anything short of 500 would look a bit underwhelming?

[Paul Schaefer @PJScoff]

@hirschirsch Are you wanting to find carbonate? Or just wanting to know where it is?

[Paul Schaefer @PJScoff]

@lubin_stringer Is this your drone Lubin?

[Paul Schaefer @PJScoff]

@nig_michael @LiddellClaying We have dune/swale country so sandy rises down to heavy flats in most paddocks. Couldn't tell rates in t/ha but if we can get it about 50mm thick that seems to be the sweet spot.
We use a carry grader so getting the sand out evenly can be a challenge.
I'll try dig up some photos.

[Paul Schaefer @PJScoff]

@LiddellClaying @nig_michael "Sanding" is a thing here, we've been spreading sand over heavy country as a mulch with good results

@nig_michael How does the lime and Gypsum get mixed?

[Paul Schaefer @PJScoff]

@nig_michael What model is the Fendt Michael and how do you like it?

[Paul Schaefer @PJScoff]

@ipaddockapps @azam_gaus How do you think a plow would go through delved stuff Mic?

[Paul Schaefer @PJScoff]

@ipaddockapps Ah thanks, I thought it might have been some you'd engineered yourself.
Do you think something like that could be modified to a JD square plow?

[Paul Schaefer @PJScoff]

@lubin_stringer Looks great Lubin, I often think in our sandy loams a bit deeper doesn't hurt canola.

@Charlie_Bensen @theGRDC What was the findings for skeleton weed Charlie?

[Paul Schaefer @PJScoff]

Hard to believe these 2 photos were taken in nearly the same place! March22- Nov25.
Kudos to @james_cant_ for ripping the one ski 💪

[Paul Schaefer @PJScoff]

@sheepGeekCP What do you estimate the cost per tonne is Mark?

[Paul Schaefer @PJScoff]

@agrobaz We used to do it just like that when we had an auger on air-cart. Now doing it into truck as tubulator on cart wasn't mixing. 1.5 rate of peat

@James_Davey91 @AgLeaderTech @farmer_mattas @DaveyJohn_676 @KalimarAg Nice. I always wanted to do this with our Flexicoil.
Are you running the fans off of separate hyd banks? Then return line and case drain are teed together?

[Paul Schaefer @PJScoff]

@JamesPreuss We converted it to Trimble rate controllers, so would need a FM-750, 1000 or newer model. We might sell ours with it though.
All the original Flexi-coil rate controllers are in place we just don't have a screen.

[Paul Schaefer @PJScoff]

@JamesPreuss Was fairly straight forward for the box, auger & back steps were more complicated.

[Paul Schaefer @PJScoff]

@JamesPreuss We did it to a 2340 air cart and worked great, went from 35 up 50+Ha per fill.
It's for sale now along with the 18m ST830 if you're interested..

[Paul Schaefer @PJScoff]

@Jordanswan446 @justinbammann That's a pretty good idea! A lot quicker to fill and empty too 👍
