What to do if Finn Farm Equipment is leaking?
- M
  molinaericAug 3, 2025
  If your Finn Farm Equipment is leaking, several issues could be the cause. A worn seal due to lack of lubrication requires replacement, along with adherence to the lubrication schedule. Cracked, pinched, or torn rubber seals should be replaced and always greased before clamping. Insufficient greasing necessitates rebuilding swivels with repair kit part number 006969 (2 required). A faulty pressure lubricator requires daily servicing and pump seal replacement. Bad O-rings and worn or missing gaskets should be replaced, using grease during replacement.

Why is there foaming of solution and lack of distance in Finn HydroSeeder T120?
- R
  Rodney SnyderAug 8, 2025
  Several factors can cause foaming and reduce distance in Finn Farm Equipment. Check all suction connections, ensuring rubber seals are in good condition and greased before replacing clamps, as sucking air in suction lines can be a cause. Soft water or too much agitation can also lead to foaming, so try slowing the agitator. Other potential causes include worn nozzles (clean or replace them), using certain fertilizers (change the type), or clutch slippage. In this case readjust the clutch. Also air entrainment might be the cause.

What to do if Finn HydroSeeder T120 Farm Equipment is plugging or clogging?
- L
  Linda MooreAug 12, 2025
  If your Finn Farm Equipment experiences plugging or clogging, it might be due to the system becoming airbound. If plugging occurs, to clear an obstruction, disengage the slurry pump clutch, remove, and clean the discharge nozzle using the nozzle cleaning rod. Repeat until clean. A drop in pressure accompanied by a frothy discharge indicates a blockage in the suction line or sump area. To clear the pump, disengage the slurry pump clutch, stop the engine, and close the suction shutoff valve. For obstructions in the sump area, backflushing through the discharge plumbing with the water supply hose is the easiest method.

What to do if Finn HydroSeeder T120 pump is jammed?

  ujohnsonAug 16, 2025
  If your Finn Farm Equipment pump is jammed, several issues could be the cause. If you are using fertilizer with highly abrasive fillers, consider changing the fertilizer to avoid abrasive fillers. If you are overloading the machine with dry material, load the machine to the recommended capacities. If the pump is jammed with fertilizer or lime, remove the cover and clean the interior. If the impeller is rusted to the suction cover plate, pull the cover and remove the rust. If the pump is frozen, warm the housing to melt the ice. After loading and mixing has been completed, set agitator at 1/4 discharging speed in reverse and disengage the slurry pump. Close recirculation valve when discharging through the boom.

How to fix foam in tank and air entrainment in Finn Farm Equipment?
- P
  pnguyenAug 20, 2025
  To address foam in the tank and air entrainment in your Finn Farm Equipment, try the following: As the slurry level drops, slow the agitator. Consider adding 2 to 3 oz. (59 to 89 ml) of an anti-foaming agent to the tank. If you identify an additive causing the issue, add it last or not at all, unless it's water. Also, reduce recirculation time as much as possible.

What causes a Finn HydroSeeder T120 Farm Equipment valve to malfunction?
- J
  James CoxAug 26, 2025
  A Finn Farm Equipment valve can malfunction due to several reasons. It may be frozen, in which case you should thaw out the ice, lubricate the valve, and leave it in the discharge position during storage. Foreign material in the slurry can also cause issues, so drain and clean out the tank, checking the storage for foreign materials. Ensure proper operation by the operator, and make sure the valve is fully open.

Why does Finn HydroSeeder T120 Farm Equipment machine jump during operation?
- S
  Samantha HorneAug 29, 2025
  If your Finn Farm Equipment jumps during operation, it could be due to the agitator being bent by a heavy object falling on it. In this case, straighten the agitator shaft or use shims to ensure it runs true. Another cause could be loading wood fiber mulch into the tank before it's half full. If this is the case, straighten the agitator paddle and realign the agitator to run true.
