Yes, had enough rubber. It has the high flotation package. 800 flex duals on the back and 800 flex singles on front. Ran it through some pretty wet mud a couple of times where the tractor got stuck, the cart stayed on top where the drill front castors went down. Plenty of flotation in my opinion.Dryland did you feel you had enough rubber under the cart for flotation and how much oil flow did you need to run the fans on the new cart?
Doesn't the cart have all its own electrical system power? I'm sure those meter motors take a lot of power, I recall reading up to 500 watts per motor. So even though only the fans are hydraulic, doesn't the power required for the whole cart electrical need to be included in that hydraulic power?Yes, had enough rubber.

For oil flow I have the mega-flow on my CNH tractor. Using the main pump 55g to run the drill and the seed fan. The fertilizer fan I run off the 35g pump. I have more than enough oil flow to run it.
I think I read somewhere that the cart alone takes close to 50 g to run, 25 for each fan. The seed motors are all 24v electric so fans are the only thing you are running for hydraulics.
Yes, it has its own electrical power. 2 batteries and an alternator.Doesn't the cart have all its own electrical system power?

Wouldn't it then take significantly higher pressures then? The hp has to come from somewhere, and its a lot of watts.Yes, it has its own electrical power. 2 batteries and an alternator.
The alternator runs on its own hydraulic motor. It is plumbed in behind the fertilizer fan circuit, and the flow to the alternator is whatever is being delivered to that fan.
It would not take any more hydraulic flow to run the alternator, as it runs behind the fan motor. A small amount of hydraulic power would be required, but no additional flow.
If the alternator plays out then it needs replacing. Electric motors won't run with no power.What happens to the electric motors that turn the rollovers if the alternator plays up. Does lower voltage mean less motor torque. Is anybody just running the one fan or using both for single or double shoot?
No, it would not take "significantly" higher pressures. Tractor hydraulics are rated for around 3000 psi I'm guessing and the circuit is open ended.Wouldn't it then take significantly higher pressures then? The hp has to come from somewhere, and its a lot of watts.
They would pulse width modulation with rotational feedback for speed control.Anyone have information about the 24v motors? Is their speed governed by voltage. Higher the voltage higher the speed therefore greater torque? A motor turning at 15 rpm would have less torque than a motor at 40 rpm? Also how are others finding the product gates with high rates. Seed getting caught up and blocking through them?
