Fertilizer Lump Buster

[@jtoddjb]

Seems a bit expensive, but then again it's really not intended for a small farmer. A big operation that handles enough fertilizer should love this. Nice looking Big Bud and IH loader tractor in the background

[@oilersridersbluejays]

Agreed. I seldom go through more than 100 tonnes of fertilizer in a year. Small farmer and working solo most of the time and work off farm a bit too so couldn't justify buying one. I can deal with the odd clump and dragging the hopper screens around for the time being. I caught the Big Bud in the back too. I actually never seen one in person before. Run a Versatile 976 myself. Run my 40' double shoot Morris drill and 50' Degelman heavy harrows with it. Have a tricky time finding parts for it sometimes, couldn't imagine trying to find parts for a Big Bud, in these parts anyway.

All that gotta do now is make one of their hoppers with the lump busted intgrated so its all one unit

[@brettknoss486]

Is there a plan to make a unit for a swing out auger? Has this been used with feed grain?

[@Farming_weeds]

A skid steer mount for this would be useful for busting clumpy buckets

[@oilersridersbluejays]

A little pricey for a small-time young guy running solo like me nor do I go through more than 100 tonnes of product in a year, but totally would make sense for the big time neighbour down the road with 5 times the acres I have, or fertilizer plants and the like. Pretty cool unit, but I guess I'll have to just put up with the odd clump and dragging the hopper screens around.

A 12 volt motor with alligator clamps would be handy.

[@brettknoss486]

I think it's hydraulic drive.

[@neptune4167]

is it common to use the same auger for fertilizer and grain?

[@MrThisIsMeToo]

auger is an auger

[@strawberryroan1941]

Neptune just run it for a bit to get the other grain out and you are ready for fertilizer

[@oilersridersbluejays]

Sure. Run it until empty. Then reverse the auger. Blow out the fertilizer dust with air and spray a bit of WD-40 in the swing auger hopper. Give the bearings a good shot of grease and good to go. My 1370 swing auger and one 8" auger I only use for grain, but use my 1060 swing auger and older 8" for grain and/or fertilizer and no issues.

It is like drugs ....... expensive

[@HarryL2020]

The real question is, why is this recommended?

[@danialholt4174]

I thought this video was going to show a cow poop pulverizer. Real fertilizer.

[@kevenhiemie]

I'd really like to know what kind of bearing that is. It would be great for a salt spreader.
