Hi just wondering if anyone here is running one, as I am having a problem with a shutter.

What is your issue? Are the shutters closed by springs? I think it's important to have them adjusted properly so they don't bind or get fertilizer stuck between the gate and the hopper. At least this is the way it is on my Sulky spreader, which could be different...

SW they are electric, when u switch the monitor on they go thru a open & close faze, so they seem to be good, when in field yesterday at headland turn, they would not re open. After talking to dealer i managed to get one side to open{after 1 Hr, but didnot track to a particular thing done} did a few acres, then would not open by monitor, but both still cycle upon monitor power up/shutdown. Just spent the afternoon going over all electrical cables & plugs,& everything looked OK.
At a loss gav.

That's weird, any chance there is some sort of boundary setting on the monitor not allowing it to turn on?
Maybe something easy like that.

SW It actually has a electric pair that are working & Hydraulic pair that are the problem I discovered today, my guess is the electric vary the rate to suit the speed, or vice versa, today I bleed the ram to open it, upon starting it pretty much shut it straight away. I am thinking maybe a soldnoid or something.

turns out it was the electric solenoid, it had water in it & had corroded the contacts away, a new solenoid & plug fixed the problem. Thanks for the help SW!  |

Glad you got it going and thanks for reporting back!
I don't feel like I was much for help though...
