8.3.2 Settings as per fertiliser chart
You can determine the mounting height, metering slide adjustment, spreading
disc type and PTO speed for an optimum spreading from the
fertiliser chart de-
pending on the fertiliser type, working width, application rate, forward speed and
fertilisation method.
Example of field spreading during normal fertilising:
Figure 8.3: Field spreading during normal fertilising
During field spreading in normal fertilisation mode, a symmetrical spreading pat-
tern is produced. If the spreader is correctly set (see information in the fertiliser
chart), the fertiliser is evenly spread over the field.
The following settings are to be applied to the machine according to the fertiliser
chart:
