HIGH SPEED
TOOL BAR |
|
Included is a
good 2008 Exactrix installation by an advanced producer at
Panhandle, Texas.
The producer
decided to order a second Case SDX seeder at 40 feet for seeding
only.
This meant
that his 30 foot seeding frame was available to make a pre-plant
and side dress tool bar.
Irrigated
Corn application is made as a pre-plant application and Hard Red
Winter Wheat as side dress application in late fall November up
to early
February.
This is an
impressive producer who really did one of best jobs yet with a
Case SDX installation.
A 30 foot
Case, 7.5 inch SDX was winged out to 40 feet on 15 inch band
centers.
In fact SDX
seeding frames have been winged out to 47 feet in South Dakota.
Exactrix
provides Line Loom Harness Arrangements in Pre-Built
arrangements to speed installation and improve the life of the
harness.
In fact Line
Loom harness have proven to reduce installation time by 20 man
hours.
The Line Loom
Harness
arrangement has a corrugated sheath surrounding the injection
line. The lines are numbered. The lines are cut to length. The
Lines are bundled with an outside corrugated sheath in 1.5 to 2
inch diameter as 5, 7, 9, 12 and 15 conductors. This allows
quick install with line drop which is held in reserve. Line
loom harness may also have extra lines for future expansion or
reserve backup.
Line Loom
harness are also supplied for the mechanical gauge bar.
Two Vent
lines from the Phase Shifter are installed at two openers
closest to the 2KC engine. The Terminal Injection Orifice is
downsized to match the flow of the vent tubes. These are called
Make-up orifices. The Make-up orifices at the vented openers
would be a .036 if the TIO selection is .040.
The NH3
trailer is serviced by a transport. The trailer is set up bottom
outlet
internal valve. The trailer design has a slight tilt forward to
assure empty. The large tires provide easy rolling and less
horsepower. The smaller turntable tires allow good turning.
Highest stability in trailer design is a track trailer. The
steer axle design trailers should be used on slopes. Turntable
trailers have problems when the front tire strikes the NH3 tank
in sharp turns. This will break the axle and result in a
rollover.
NH3 Trailers
are like airseeder carts....the commodity must be delivered from
a high elevation forcing the commodity flow down hill. NH3 tanks
with heights of 4 to 5 feet above the ground line at the bottom
of the tank assures push or NPSH.
The 2KP is
mounted first and directly behind is the 2KC. This is a good
mount.
The tongue
mount requires the fewest feet of hydraulic hose and electrical
leads.
The tongue
mount also allows access directly and quickly from the tractor
seat.
The final
advantage is the operator is not
climbing
on the machine.
The Exactrix
rule is simple...Feet on the Ground when servicing the system.
This mounting
allows the 2KP primary filters to be drained with liquid
fertilizer not contacting the machine.
The two
filters are designed for backup operation. Set the valves so the
supply comes through one filter only. This way you will have a
backup when pump rpm goes high and the filter plugs.
The supply
line from the filter to the inlet of the pump must be of
adequate size...At least 1.5 inch and up to 2 inch supply line
to the inlet of the pump.
The 2KP pump
inlet supply line should be tested with the high viscosity
APP/ATS. A 5 gallon bucket is placed at the pump inlet and the
valves opened the bucket must fill to 4 gallons in 15 seconds.
You can also weigh scale the fill in 15 seconds. There should
be 45 pounds of 10-34-0 in the bucket in 15 seconds. Also make
sure you test with the Poly Phosphate Sulfate tank supply at 10%
fill.
Paying
attention to supply is critical to make good VR-Site Specific
applications whether the APP/ATS supply tank is full or almost
empty.
The tank is
mounted secure for quick stops.
Quick filling
may require some consideration for overflow and return to the
supply tank at some given level of filling. This design is much
like NH3 with the return line.
Custom
applicators allow for a return line at 90% fill. This allows a
churn and mix in cold weather when more Zn or ATS is added for
oil seeds or high protein wheats.
The Return
line design should be low restriction since the tank may not be
able to take much pressure. The good news is the Poly Phosphate
Sulfate tanks can be filled with little attention and they can
be filled much faster at up to 250 gallons per minute.....so
design your high capacity fill system just like NH3 filling.
Make your fill line 2 inch and make your return line 3 inch.
Also make
sure you set or Zero your Total Applied for L channel on the
TASC 6200 controller when you fill.
Your NH3
pounds will be totalized at the 1700 Mass Meter Readout. So no
need to work with the totalizer on C channel of the 6200 TASC
controller.
Make sure
that you order the 2 inch supply line from the NH3 tanks to
inlet of the 2KC.
This is Group
2, 1S2030.
Make sure you
order twin Smarthoses with dual hose end valves.
This delivery
design will assure flow to 20 plus gallons per minute using
bottom outlet internal valves.
Use Assembly
7J3012.
If the system
goes above 30 gallons per minute a larger A-2700 hose end valve
is used with 3,1/4 acme couplers.
Exactrix
fully endorses Raven Viper, Ag Leader and Legacy 6000 Mapping
and Control. No endorsement is given for the Greenstar.
A Data Link
is added between TASC 6200 Control and Raven, Ag Leader of
Legacy Mapping controller. You will have two additional items in
the cab. A Data Link and A Mapping Controller. A high quality
satellite receiver may have come with your new tractor which is
connected to the Mapping controller.
If you desire
to run with only one Control Screen and hookup you will need to
wait a long time as common ISOCANBus Programs among all tractor
manufactures and our vendors is called Project Camel. Nothing
seems to work really well with two humps or one hump. The
technology is advancing too fast in other areas. The committee
approach has resulted in camel rather than a race horse.
We do not
recommend connecting the Legacy Mapping Controllers directly to
the Exactrix system.
We have
discovered that Mapping controllers are steep on the learning
curve, hard to train new personnel, and most producers want a
simple backup system to run with the Mapping Controller when it
is not activated or momentarily out of service. If you
understand the Exactrix system it is as redundant and reliable
as possible. And this requires TASC 6200 control.
You will get
the best and quickest service and maximum amount of uptime with
Exactrix 6200 TASC control and the Data Link for your mapping
controller.
Also there
are some new mapping controllers coming that have better
performance and more information than what is offered.
Exactrix may
supply a better mapping controller at some future date complete
with data uplink and critical temperature and pressure values.
Follow
our lead on mapping controllers.
VR-Site
Specific works and we want you to succeed.
Typical hydraulic hookup, Power Beyond Load Sense Challenger. All electrical connections direct to battery. Mid-Tech GPS sensor set at 769. Water test, run all pressures and flows with data recording. Check for leaks. Head for the field and apply TAPPS for the first time.
