| At 680-RPM spinner speed, this calculates out to 30-GPM. The L3020G4 requires 40-GPM. This lack of flow may be caused by the wrong sized pump or PTO%. Test the hydraulic flow of your system by putting 2000-psi back pressure against the system. If you loose more than 10% of your flow, the pump is bad.
Trying to operate at 700-RPM spinner speed requires a min of 31-GPM, you do not have that amount of flow to achieve your demand.
Typical CFR for fertilizer - potash, MAP, DAP and blends of these will be front - .221 to .225 and rear .109to .115. Urea CFR front .218 to .221 and rear .104 to .109
The stainless steel lines were increased in structural thickness and when this was done, we had issues with the weld seam of the tube when flared causing it to leak. The lines are JIC flared fittings. Get me the serial number of your spreader and I'll look at the production report and follow up with you.
The L4000 spreader is replacing the L3020 spreader. Differences are crossmember locations and increased structural strength, welded in rear endgate for adaptation of MultApplier and MultiBin at later dates, enhanced hydraulic components such as spinner motors, hydraulic reservoir, oil cooler added as standard, pressurized chain oiler system and others.
The cooler was added due to the increased horsepower of today's chassis, driving faster, spreading wider and higher application rates. This has increased duty cycles of the spreader making it neccessary for the cooler. This now maintains oil temps of 125-degree. | |
