East Central Wisconsin | I had the spatter problem with our Fast 8100,but to reduce it i changed the orfice plates. There are two orfices in by the check valve.There is one that holdes the spring(for check valve) and one as an outlet. I have the orfice before the check valve about 1/3 to 1/2 smaller then the outlet hole. That way there is a big preasure drop after the first orfice and alot less spatter coming out of of the tip.The smaller first orfice will help keep rate even in the lines. I am alot bigger on the orfices then what it came with it also(run 40-50g/ac of 32%)
On ours i have to hit the hydraulics switch from time to time so there is preasure all the time to keep the wings in the ground.
I have it with the biggest Ace pump(Raven 440 setup"love it") on the 8100 to apply with and is used to help fill the 1000g and 500g saddle tanks with a honda 3" pump on truck
This year i am installing air lines into the 3/4" main lines so i can bleed the 32% out before i fold it.The 32% got on the folding rams and the rods are pitted bad that i had to by new rams from Fast. I am going to use a ExtremeAire 12 volt air compressor for the air supply
I love our 8100(16row) for four reasons
Tall tires(46")
short wheel base for hills and corners
low center of gravity(1000g tank)
The cylmer coulters are built to last.I have four season on them and have only changes the coulter blades last year running 1300-1550ac per year
