    Any Flexicoil system will do the job, they used q broadcast system with 4 runs and a 4 run roller that was like a canola (Extra fine) roller system. I am sure there are old brodcast systems in the bushes all over western Canada..(We have one as well) they had their own front header with deflectors (18" coverage) on 800 series flexicoil seeding tools. Smaller distribution hoses were used than the regular seeding package. These systems could double shoot right out of the main cart tanks.

      Sounds like I've got a few options. My only
      concern would be that the hoses are large enough
      to handle 100 to 150 lbs of product at 10 mph.
      Also the tank needs to stand up to that type of
      speed all day!
      I gather that any of the flexicoil tanks can be used
      for herbicide (not just the small 3rd one) as
      metering system is the same on all of them. My
      tool is 40 ft so need 26 runs at 18".
      Crusher, i have my heart set on a tow between,
      let me know if yours is tbt, I am near estevan. My
      cell is 487 7922.

      Any more pointers are appreciated!

        Railway,

        We use an old 5t 50' spin spreader on autotrac to spread 21-0-0-24. Works great. Autorate scs460 Raven system with hydaulic drive on bottom drag chain... change rates on the fly... 125lb then to 250lb/ac on setting... can flip app rate back and forth on one switch. Can hook up to Deere 2600 (compatable with scs460) controler if wanted (about $1500 for system driver/harnesses plus the flow control, hyd motor and sensor... about another $1500.).

        To switch back and forth on Flexicoil air systems the Herbicide (10-15lb/ac and down is a cheaper system) to Fert (100lb/ac and up)... diff distribution systems usually provided than for low rate broadcast system. High rate (100lb/ac) uses normal seeding distribution system. Just the way they were built.

          I would find an old Morris. They are
          accurate, chain drive and have the two
          speed clutch. They have a good size granular tank on them and they should be
          dirt cheap. Back in the day we would
          spread edge while seeding peas with ours.

                I would be a little concerned? about travelling at vertical tillage speed with an air cart? rough ground?
