Late application equipment can be used to spread in tall crops when parts of the
crops are at a height up to the top edge of the spread discs. (Late application
equipment is extra equipment.)
Bolt the late application equipment to the brackets holding the safety bracket
on both sides, and in the middle it rests on the bracket for the safety brackets.
It is crucial to mount this equipment in a level position on the spreader, as otherwise
the spreading will be laterally distorted.
Note that the late application equipment lis the fertilizer, which means that the
spreading will be more sensitive to wind than usual, so do not use this equipment
in windy conditions.
The PTO setting must be slightly lower and the downshute setting should be
slightly lower than normal when late application equipment is attached. The table
below shows how much needs to be subtracted compared to the settings for
normal operation.
Example:
A 30-metre working width will be used. According to the settings on Bredal’s website, the PTO rpm should be set at 1000 rpm and the downshute
position at 5.0.
According to the table under 30 metres, subtract 150 rpm from 1000 rpm, so that the spreader operates at 850 rpm.
Normally the downshute position is 5.0, but according to the table, 0.5 should be subtracted from so the downshute position is 4.5.
