6.3 Hopper capacity / Hopper extension sets
The basic hopper capacity of the fertiliser spreader is between 500 and 900
litres, depending on spreader model. Capacity can be increased by adding one
or more extension sets in various sizes.
When increasing hopper capacity by adding extension sets, take note of the fol-
lowing:
•
When filling, the maximum payload must not be exceeded. If the loading
height exceeds 1250 mm a suitable mechanical loading system should be
used e.g. front-end loader.
•
When fitting the extension sets, only use the self-locking nuts provided.
Checking the hopper contents
•
An inspection window is provided on all MDS fertiliser spreaders (except
MDS 55 / 65 / 85). The M653 and M863 extension sets are also equipped
with inspection windows. These inspection windows facilitate the control of
the hopper contents e.g. when checking what is left in the hopper.
6.3.1 Calculation of maximum loading
The specific weight of Thomas potash = 1.36 kg/l. As the maximum payload of
the MDS 935 fertiliser spreader is 1800 kg, the spreader should not be loaded
with more than a maximum of 1323 litres of Thomas potash.

Hopper level scale
For control of the hopper level i.e. amount of pro-
duct left to be spread in litres.
(Accuracy of each mark max. +/- 10 %.)
The scale allows the operator to calculate how long
spreading can continue before refilling is necessa-
ry.
This avoids unnecessary refilling, leading to a re-
duction in the amount of product remaining after
field operations are completed.
