@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.

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

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

@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?

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

@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?

@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.

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

@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..

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

@CasFarmerCD Thanks Tom, we're having a go at some inversion ploughing with a JD square furrow. The small test I did suggested some weight might help. Water is a good idea, otherwise might be safer to take spacers off for that job.
