Daza 107 Posted December 4, 2015 so what happens in high rpm low boost situations?boost comp trims fuel in low boost rather than low rpm. Boost comps trim fuel at the top end as well and you trim fuel and top end with the ROM settings on E pumps Boost comps increase fuel slowly as boost and rpm rises Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tristan 3923 Posted December 4, 2015 Boost comps trim fuel at the top end as well only on overboost and depending on pin. put a decent ramp pin in and they often don't have the ramp for overboost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daza 107 Posted December 4, 2015 only on overboost and depending on pin. put a decent ramp pin in and they often don't have the ramp for overboost. Most start to trim before over boost and the governor sorts the rest, E.G no fuel no boost no smoke. pin has nothing to do with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kiwi Bee 559 Posted December 4, 2015 @Charles the last pic does not look like NZ, but I like it. Can you fold the stands? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Charles 353 Posted December 4, 2015 @Charles the last pic does not look like NZ, but I like it. Can you fold the stands? No, those are all from the UK, worked for a beekeeper for 5 years running about about 1600 hives. They are all ling (heather) sites. Yes the stands fold up, you can see them on top of the trailer in the first photo. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tristan 3923 Posted December 6, 2015 0.05 shows your trailer has very very stiff suspension. those wheels are virtually parallel to the trailer. is it binding somewhere ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philbee 4574 Posted December 6, 2015 0.05 shows your trailer has very very stiff suspension. those wheels are virtually parallel to the trailer. is it binding somewhere ? No that's how it is. The suspension needs to be rock solid to support the crane loads without outriggers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tristan 3923 Posted December 6, 2015 No that's how it is.The suspension needs to be rock solid to support the crane loads without outriggers. you WILL end up smashing the tow vehicle and trailer coupling. the springs will handle the crane but you need to have equalizer action in the suspension. even more critical on a 3 axle due to the bigger distance between front and rear axles.

If it brakes Ill just fix it. The springs do have rockers and the entire running gear set up is on a separate boggy that is u bolted to the trailer (no welds) The thing is bullet proof as is the truck. Ill do expect to continue wearing out tow balls and couplings though. Now I grease them and use a swivel coupling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tristan 3923 Posted December 6, 2015 its not much much fun when it breaks out in the field at the worse possible time and the repair may be a major. i don't get this kiwi attitude of using badly designed trailers. its so easy to make something fit for the purpose.

tristan 3923 Posted December 6, 2015 trailers are a bit of a sore point. we get loads of them broken down on the highway, often missing wheels. (you know its summer when you see broken down trailers on the side of the road) poorly spec'd, abused, uncared for and over engineered to try and make up for it.

Philbee 4574 Posted December 6, 2015 You wont see this one sitting on the roadside broken that's for sure. I've got AA cover:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tristan 3923 Posted December 6, 2015 does AA do call outs when its covered in bees? AA never used to insure you if you went off the tarseal ! just remember that it may not be the trailer that fails. seen vehicles where trailer issues have caused tow vehicle chassis failure. the annoying thing is the trailer industry. they don't use good gear cause no ones asks for it. customers want big heavy stuff that doesn't break when they put double the load on, not gear that actually works correctly. frustrating when your trying to build something that will handle the rough stuff and all they got is old rejected designs other countries won't use.
