[QUOTE="20x, post: 121112, member: 2569"] Im glad you asked this question... Ive sluiced with water loaded with debree and no extra filter cage around the suction hose filter, it was the small sticks that clogged the jets and i just kept pulling them through with a thin piece of hooked wire. After weeks of dealing with this i thought i would take the pvc spray bars apart for a clean out and amazingly found them empty. I think it a filter cage is the answer to avoiding this problem at that end. I thought of this problem way before i started designing the built in spray bars. Option A would be to drill out say a 10mm hole at the end of the bars and tap some thread into it so i can install a bleeder/flush bolt. Option B would be to weld another 45 degree piece to the end of the spray bars angled to the outside of the hopper and thread the ends for screw caps. thanx for asking the question mate cheers :cool: [/QUOTE]
