Hydraulic swan neck

What

• Hydraulic arm construction
• Flexible holder for a flipped sheet metal at exit to spray downwards instead of illegal upwards direction (aim: drops instead of gases).

Solution for function(s):

• sucking in fluids
• delivering fluids to buildings (paint, fire fight water), meadows (wet dung), ...

Solution for environmental issues:

• Meeting EU agricultural regulations by modifying a now illegal tank up and wide spraying vehicle or when only one opening (exit and entry at the same time) is available.
• Being forced to have attached a fixed / static swan neck (~700€) and cut a new hole and pipe interface for sucking in fluids (sounds expensive, huh?). (There is a small version too, costing ~300€).

Requires for operation:

• Pulling machine of any kind with an hydraulic pump and hydraulic fluid
• Operator
• Extra Navigator or Camera or a big enough spot to suck fluid in or a lot of time to exit, take a look, enter and act (and all over again)
