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 28 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 (Chapter 9).
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 M3 EVO 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. This is suitable for small working widths (up to 4 m) and causes the seed
to be spread exactly on the roller, for example.
8.2
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.).
