Determining Product Density
Determine the fertilizer density using the scale provided
with your spreader following these instructions.
1. Fill canister gently to the top with material to be
spread.
2. Support by the ring.
3. Level beam.
4. Read pounds per cubic feet at the center of weight.
NOTE:
Instructions are also written on the density scale.
NOTE:
A density scale is provided with the spreader and
is secured to the manual holder during shipping.
Scale Operation
Spreaders factory-equipped with a scale system are
capable of determining weight of product added to the
hopper, or applied on the field.
Refer to the owner's/operator's manual that accompanies
the scale head for operating instructions, and for
directions on how to reset the scale before operation.
If you choose to use other scale hardware/software
other than what is provided by Loftness, refer to that
manufacturer's manual for instructions.
NOTE: For base model owners, if you would like to
upgrade your spreader with a scale kit contact
your Loftness dealer.
Set-up and Operation
Setting the Metering Gate Opening
The metering gate opening, along with the speed of the
apron chain(s), determines the spreader constant. Refer
to the spreader setup chart on page 23 for the spreader
constant as it relates to the metering gate opening.
Use the chart below to determine gate height based on
output and speed.

Chart is approximate range for 90 ft. spread. For a 60 ft. spread
increase rates by 50%
RAISE the metering gate opening if the apron cannot
keep up with high rates/application speeds.
LOWER the metering gate opening for low rates/speed
to prevent ratcheting.
IMPORTANT:
If an adjustment to the metering gate is
made, the spreader constant needs to be
adjusted accordingly. Refer back to the chart
on page 23 to find the spreader constant
that correlates with the meter gate opening.
