DISC WITH ADJUSTABLE BLADES
According to the specific weight of the fertilizer to be spread, it is possible to direct the
blades by moving them in the special clamps from N° 1 to N° 5, to obtain even scattering
to the right and left. The blades are normally in position N° 3. By moving the blades to-
wards N° 1 the scattering range to the left of the driver is increased. By moving them to-
wards clamp N° 5 the scattering range to the right of the driver is increased.
