I seriously hope they have the fan sizing under control. I think some types of hydraulic fans become pretty inefficient at high rpms. I basically agree with Matt NCOK but you may want to produce a slight cascaded effect towards smaller cross sectional area and use hose with an I d of 1 or 1.25. So you go from 6 to 4 to 1.25 maybe.

To keep it from plugging you also have to keep it moving. I know this doesn't sound great, but I think that with careful handling of the fertilizer (dry) and hose routing (downward sloping) it should be ok. I don't know what kind of hp you guys are going to throw at this, but I would hate to let the top speed suffer because you are drawing so much hydraulic power. It isn't like there is a cavity preventing the air from escaping like you would have with a knife so it is ok to carry a little higher airspeed without worrying about diffusers and stuff. JDB
