Has anyone tried or is anyone using truck airbag scales on a SP fertilizer spreader with airbag?

Question

Put a Newleader 4330 on my Rogator and was thinking about trying the truck airbag weight sensors to weigh the box....The box has a multapplier and it would solve some concerns I'm having regarding calibrating two beds when loading out of a hopper trailer.

Answer

Should work just as semi systems work

Answer

you can still get fertilizer? Wow. We cant get lime here in NC much less Fertilizer. Corn be 25 dollars when nobody can grow any

Answer

With the price or fertilizer I personally feel like investing in accurate scale bars would be a better choice in my opinion. But I’m also not familiar with the accuracy of the newest airbags either

Answer

Have an air scale on a semi. Air ride trailer air ride tractor.   Can't get the dumb thing calibrate with in 15,000#s either way.  Truck weighs 65000 or 95000. Never remotely close to 80,000.   You have to be on perfect level concrete for it to work. We never are.

Answer

If you go this route be sure to frame up the box well or it can lead to the metal cracking out. Stainless is not so forgiving if it flexes.
