To be done before spreading

Full field spreading pattern
test
If the spreader is correctly set and the tramlines are set at the correct
distance from each other you would achieve a good distribution of
fertilizer over the land. This will only be achieved if the spreader
spreads with the correct spreading pattern.
This is then the reason why you have to test the spreading pattern and
adjust it as required.
See also paragraph »Full field spreading pattern« on page 28.
Operation
Switch the tractor off, remove the key from the ignition and engage
the parking brake of the tractor.
Set the spreader as per the details given in the spreading chart for
the selected working width (X ft.) that most closely matches the
fertilizer, seeds or granules
(height of the spreading disc = 75
cm/29.5 in above the troughs
).
Place the grids in the troughs.
Place trough 1 in the middle of the tractor tracks.
I
NDICATION
Position the troughs horizontally with a spirit level!
Divide the additional 6 buckets on the one side of the track over the
actual working width of the spreader.
The actual width is twice the size of the effective working width!
If you want to spread over a working width of 59 ft, place the buckets
at 59/6 ft. = 10 ft. With a working width of 78 ft. the buckets must be
placed at 78/6 ft. = 13 ft.
