DESCRIPTION OF THE FERTILISER
SPREADER
The PRIMO professional fertiliser spreader for granular
fertilisers meets the needs of agricultural contractors and
large farms. The rigid nature of the structure and the qual-
ity of the materials used ensures high reliability and pro-
ductivity standards, combined with safe, easy road trans-
port. There are 8 load capacities available (1270, 1350,
1805, 1970, 2340, 2590, 2875 and 3210 litres) to pair with
tractors from 120 to 240 HP.
The particularly strong structure and mechanics are a
guarantee of reliability and constant performance through-
out the years.
The fertiliser spreader is equipped with all the adjust-
ments necessary to evenly and consistently spread fer-
tiliser.
This agricultural equipment, can only operate by means
of a Cardan shaft applied to the power take-off of an agri-
cultural tractor equipped with a lifting unit, with a three-
point universal joint.
ATTENTION!
The fertiliser spreader is suitable exclusively for the
use indicated. Working speed must always be appro-
priate for the roughness of the soil. Maximum speed
when transporting the machine on the road is 25 km/h.

tions can damage the machine and pose serious dan-
ger for the user.
