Hopper extension

The loading volume of the spreader can be increased by putting one,
rim in place.



See paragraph »Technical specifications« on page 36.

Keep the increase in the filling height and the weight of the machine
into account.



See paragraph »Calculate the axle load with tractor-mounted
machines« on page 13.

Hopper cover

The hopper cover protects the fertilizer in the hopper against humidity
and dirt.
The sail can be folded back for a larger filler opening.

Electric hopper cover

The electric hopper cover can be operated from the control box.

The hopper cover must be mounted on top of the hopper extension to
protect the content against weather or spray.

Pellet sieve

This sieve can be used when spreading with pellets.
