2. Mechanical Driven Spreader:
When you are ready to begin spreading application
on the field, open the rear gate and slowly engage
the tractor PTO clutch. This can be done while
traveling forward to avoid a heavier application of
liquid manure at the edge of the field than desired.
Hydraulically Controlled Augers (Optional):
When you are ready to begin spreading application
on the field, open the rear gate and slowly engage
the tractor PTO clutch before turning the
hydraulically driven auger on to the desired
application rate. This can be done while traveling
forward to avoid a heavier application of liquid
manure at the edge of the field than desired.
All Spreaders:
For liquid and semi-liquid manure, the rear gate can
limit the application rate by how far it is opened. The
gate indicator on the front of the box will provide a
ready reference for the amount of opening. For solid manure (dry, pen-packed or manure containing long straw or
hay) the rear gate
MUST be completely open since this material is not free flowing.
The rear spinners have been designed and tested to provide the best spread pattern for most liquids and semi solid
manure. However, the pattern will vary for each specific condition. The factors that contribute most to differing
patterns and widths will be moisture content and the amount and length of bedding material. For most typical
conditions, the spread pattern should be uniform and about 25-35 ft. wide. When this is the case, plan your spreading
patterns so you do not have to travel over previously spread manure which will be slippery, resulting in poor traction.
Traction on wet grass is also poor. When the resulting pattern may require that you overlap during spreading, use
precautions on slopes and hills where you could experience a loss of traction by traveling over ground with previously
spread manure.
NOTE: Further control of the application rate is possible by the relationship of tractor engine speed to ground
speed (transmission gear selection). For optimum, trouble-free performance it is recommended to
operate at or near engine PTO speed.
3. When the spreader is empty, idle the tractor and stop the PTO.
4. Close the rear gate.
NOTE: Failure to idle the tractor before disengaging the PTO will cause roller chain over-running and damage
to the chain tighteners.
NOTE: Maximum life of the PTO shaft universal joints will result if you stop the PTO while making turns at the
end of the field.
7.2.1 PTO Cutout Clutch
Spreaders are equipped with a cutout type clutch on the implement half of the PTO driveline. The clutch is designed to
limit the amount of torque transferred to the machine through the driveline. If excessive torque is developed the clutch will
disengage. A loud ratcheting sound will be heard and the transfer of power to the machine will be disrupted. To re-engage
the machine, turn the PTO to off and allow the driveline to come to a stop. The PTO can then be re-engaged to restart the
spreader. The cutout clutch will either re-engage upon shut down of the PTO or just before it comes to a complete stop.
The cutout clutch will disengage if start up is done in an abrupt or reckless manner. It will also disengage from foreign
materials entering the expeller area of the spreader. If PTO clutch fails to re-engage it will be necessary to remove the
foreign object from the spreader before restarting.
