Ill take it up with the moderators. Ive got half dozen screenshots to prove otherwise. You arent fooling anybody and im afraid your long time forum status has you getting away with harassment similar to mark oomkes. It needs to stop. Lets keep this thread on topic. From now on please dont respond to my posts with snide, antagonistic remarks. Thanks.

I thought i explained that. It's happened multiple times directly after I make a post. If it happened once and if i was stupid, I would have likely not noticed. But, on a constant basis which is what we have approached, it's plain as day that you are not only trolling me, but posting snide and rude remarks. Stop doing this or put me on ignore if you cannot control your rudeness. Thank you again.

Can't really see all the engineering it took to do this. It was time consuming though.

Why don't you put Hal on ignore if he bothers you so much. I have a bunch of people on ignore I don't go crying to others that they say mean things or nonsense...

Because he is the guilty party trolling and antogonizing. He needs to ignore me if he cant post nice things to say. It shouldnt be posted whether i can see it or not. See what im saying?

nah.. he ain't the one that needs to put you on ignore.. you need to do that, since your the one that needs coddling.. someone to hold your hand.. why don't you stop mucking up threads like you do.. with your whinny attitude.. pull your britches up and act like a man.. put him on ignore if he bothers you and the problem you have will go away.. nuff said
Sorry to the OP.. i hope that you'll accept my apology in doing this.. back to regular thread posting..

If someone says something and they don't quote me, I don't assume it's addressed to me. If they are responding to me, they'll quote me, and I can reply. Also I don't expect other posters to only post nice things about me. This is an internet discussion forum and not some kind of safe space where I only get good news and everyone loves me.

Please don't derail the thread with your insecurities. Just send a PM if you're that nervous

Dude, thanks! I'm hoping to be able to do the demo video in a week or so including running suicide hill with a full load!

The season starts soon. As of now we are installing the manual gate control in an extremely ergonomic placement. Dave my assistant will build a module that will be installed in the near future for electronic control while still allowing for manual control in case that system ever fails during a day of applications. We are looking at using a 12V automotive power lock module for this. Ideally this electronic module will be energized through the spinner control. That way the gate can never open unless the spinner is running. How many times have we made a mistake by opening the gate and dumping fertilizer on the ground or shutting the spinner off and forgetting to shut the gate.
All plumbing has been completed to the booms and the nozzle body mounts are being fabricated for the dual nozzle setup. I have yet to do any crossover plumbing between the three front tanks and the two, 15 gallon, rear tanks. These are independent systems for now but within each system, full transfer between tanks can take place. The goal for the business is to upgrade to a very complex agronomic system that relies on both a granular nitrogen applied and a mixture of key liquid components that will work to convert the nitrogen to amino acid in the soil quickly in the span of a few days. That recipe is a trade secret in case some of my competition is lurking here. Transporting large amounts of water on daily basis will be addressed soon. For now, we are applying granular and spraying weeds.
The one thing not mentioned is this machine is a full 1 inch taller than a regular grandstand. I wanted to have the larger/wider front caster wheels which meant I had to buy the larger yokes. This raised the front end by an inch. We then had to make 1 inch plates and install between the axle and frame to get back to level. I believe the higher you are in the cockpit, the more weeds you will see and zap when you are spot spraying during the spread. Visibility=control!

I hope that works. Some of those modules aren’t very strong. Might have to go to a pull solenoid and a spring.
Just another suggestion or idea for the gate if that one doesn’t work out. A cable drive window motor might work too. Has the ability to push and pull, and since it’s cable operated, can be placed away from the fertilizer.
