Blvd d'Espair Bowhill, Sth Aust | I pretty much agree with most of the comments here, except the one about TBH being easier to fill.... That depends entirely on the system you use. Personally I use and would stay with TBT because TBH definitely would not suit my filling...but i accept that I am likely a little unique in that. I have a FC 3650 cart and 63 foot bar and the cart does put a LOT of weight on the tractor.
I believe TBH is dead weight and harder to pull, and does tend to pull the bar sideways on slopes.
The issue of leaving tracks with TBH depends entirely on your soil type and conditions.
For me the issue of visibility of the bar sounds like an issue, but since running airseeders since 1985 really hasnt been...But again..that is entirely dependant on your own conditions.
There are two other benefits to TBT not so far mentioned....
For those of us that use the cart with a spreader bar for post application of whatever product then TBT is far more suitable.... but very likely of no interest to you.
The other issue is i think pretty much EVERY manufacturer I have seen with TBH in these parts have had issues at some stage with the caster assembly come adrift and basically destroying the manifold as they go under the cart. Admittedly this issue dates back some years now, and may or may not be relevant any more.
TBT for me ,,,always |
