Border spreading
Spreading fertiliser up to the border of the property requires specific
attention. On the one hand you want to achieve maximum cover to the
field edge to ensure a good crop, while on the other hand you want to
minimise the loss over the field edge.
The spreader has 2 different functions and accessories to cater for
border spreading.
•
one-sided boundary spreading with the border spreading plate,
•
boundary track spreading with the TrimFlow.
When one-sided boundary spreading, drive with the tractor along the
field edge and spread from the field edge inwards. With boundary
track spreading, drive down the first sprayer tramline from the field
edge and spray in the direction of the field edge.

NDICATION
We advise you to spread the site first before you spread the borders.
During border spreading, the control system does not perform any
automatic calibration, so it cannot accurately determine the correct
dosing setting for the required application rate. Consequently, the
application rate can deviate from the required application rate during
border spreading. By spreading the site first, the control system can
determine the correct dosing setting and thus spread at the correct
application rate, also during border spreading.

Operation
Drive along the field edge when one-sided boundary spreading and
send the flow of fertiliser granules with a border spreading plate
(optional extra). The working width on the side of the field edge can be
adjusted by changing the border spreading plate (optional extra).
