This is about giving a precise amount of water to the entire field in a controlled manner to maximize the yield of row crops. It is also for rice levees where the field is flooded from one corner and then gates in the levees are closed to let the water sit for a few days . With a 0.1% grade I believe the levees are 100ft apart. I kinda figured you might be talking about something like the levees but I wasn’t sure.
I am wondering if I can create a mock-up of a grader blade using wood and DC motors. I need to research the linkages used because I have never seen a grader up close. Let me know when you are able to help with this aspect of AgGrade.
Yeah, irrigation of row crops. Here we will flood the bay until it reaches the end of the bay, where it will be shut off, and excess water will sometimes be drained into a recirculation drainage system, so it can be pumped back into the supply channel for use elsewhere. If this is already known to you, sorry, I am reexplaining. I find that there can be some unexpected differences between Australia and other countries.
The blade width is 3650mm
The blade can side shift (slide from side to side along its length)
At the moment, I can’t make a video of it moving (See photo below), but if you want a video of me explaining the movements, I can. I am currently busy preparing and fixing equipment for the sowing season. So the hydrostatic upgrade has to wait.
