Today I get the tanks off the flattop trailer as I need to get the trailer up to Earnshaw in Lake Grace next week so that they can use it for mounting the new bin onto
Looks to be an exciting rig there having both dry and wet carrying capacity on the same trailer. Good job!! Thanks for bringing us this great farming content!!
Possibly some sort of venturi setup. I reckon your sprayer shop should have a fitting from a range of different rigs (I'm picturing one that's maybe banjo or something on a goldacres rig), then just adapt it to take an air hose on top. Air pressure should suck all the liquid through.... I think the fitting would need to be near the end of the hose, therefore air would need to be near the end of the hose. Not 100% sure if it would work or not though, need to do some trials.
Might want some new brake shoes on that trailer by the looks mate. With the truck hooked on and air supplied to the trailer (so brakes released) you’ll be able to make up a line that plugs into the female pbr fitting on the back of that trailer which when you turn the tap on will have air come out.
Have you got a wedge behind your king pins so you can let the ballrace do its thing (pin out) rather than rely on the greasy plate? Saves your turntable turning 90⁰ on the run.
Another fantastic video and insight into behind the scene work on the farm!
Happy you got some rain at last, we've had a deluge here in Perth. Was preparing to send you some!

Looking forward to seeing the new setup. Simply run a line from the trailer supply tank to a Tee with valve on the output side of the pump
Congrats on the RAIN!!
JH the air pressure on trucks is 80 lbs.for the compressor😄

Whats happening with the mod on the new fire truck
Check out the Larson's set up for the new set up for the trailer
That tap is on you return line so air will never come out of there. The female side is your air on
I hope you didn't use anti-seize on the trailer???
Maybe using a few swear words too.
