Getting familiar with the machine

Spreading patterns

Optimum fertiliser distribution with minimum impact on the
environment can be achieved through the settings and tools
described.

Full field spreading

pattern

The full field spreading pattern overlaps 100%

A triangular spreading pattern that completely overlaps can be
expected with most fertiliser types with an average working width.

The full field spreading pattern with a trapezoidal spreading
pattern

A trapezoidal spreading pattern could result on large working widths.
The spreading pattern does not completely overlap.
