9.1 Spreading width
The spreading width depends on the density and the shape of the seed as well as
the speed of the spreading disc. The single disc spreader is designed such that it can
spread seed uniformly over a width of up to 24 m. For this to succeed, the battery
and the alternator must be in good condition. The precise settings for the spread rate,
working width etc. can be found in the setting chart in Chapter 10.
The spreader must be mounted at least 1.5 m above the ground to achieve optimal
spreading density and the maximum working width.
NOTE:
When the ES 100 M1 Classic is mounted on implements with small working
widths and the seed should be spread directly in/in front of the roller, the spreader
can also be slanted slightly downwards. However, it must be noted that the hopper
can only be completely emptied when it is in a horizontal position!
TIP:
a precision dispersion plate is available as an accessory for such special
applications (see 14.5 Precision dispersion plate). This is suitable for small working
widths (up to 4 m) and causes the seed to be spread exactly on the roller, for
example.
9.2 Agitator
Since driving of the agitator with two dowel pins is
generally not necessary, the agitator was only equipped
with one agitator pin ex factory. If, however, you should
required stronger agitation (e.g. for grass etc.), the
following must be performed: The dowel pins supplied
as a standard are attached on the bottom agitator pin of
the agitator and this increases the efficacy of the
agitator. If necessary, the top agitator pin, which is
enclosed with the dowel pins in a pressure lock bag,
can be attached in the intended opening on the agitator.
As a result, the flow of spreading material is ensured,
which is either very light (grasses etc.) or also tends to
form bridges (seed that is not quite dry, etc.).
