Applications of the
machine
This PTO shaft driven machine is suited for spreading granular
fertilizer on the field and grazing land.
It is attached
•
to the three-point power lift of the tractor (Cat. II), or
•
to the trailer supplied for this purpose.
Border spreading is possible by using the following:
•
the border spreading plate
•
Hydraulic border spreading plate.
•
the ExactLine border spreading system.
GEOSPREAD with GEOCONTROL
With the GEOCONTROL software, connection of
•
the passes on the headland,
•
sloping passes
•
and last incomplete pass improved.
Gored spreading
Even a headland connecting at a slant (angle) is correctly connected
in the pass by the variable width distribution of the GEOSPREAD.
Environment
This fertilizer spreader is equipped with a calibration and border
spreading set that comply with environmental standard.
Software
This manual contains a description for the GEOSPREAD control
system driven by software version 1.21 or higher.
CentreFlow
spreading system
This rotary type spreader has two spreading discs. Each has eight
vanes. They are mounted level so that the fertilizer is spread over the
land in a constant horizontal flow. The spreading quantity is regulated
by a dosing plate on top of the spreading disc. Both of the dosing
plates are located right on top of the discharge bushings.
The fertilizer falls on the turning spreading disc. The discharge point
is determined by the opening in the discharge bushing behind the
vanes. This means that the fertilizer granules are already turning
before they come into contact with the vanes on the spreading disc.
This prevents granules from breaking apart and becoming powdery.
The agitator mounted below in the hopper provides for a constant
stream of fertilizer dust, seeds or granules to the dosing opening(s).
Moreover, the agitator prevents the chunks of fertilizer from blocking
one or more dosing openings.
