Why is my Kverneland Farm Equipment making a noise?
- B
  baileydylanAug 20, 2025
  If your Kverneland Farm Equipment is making unusual noises, it could be due to several reasons. One possibility is that the discharge bushing is making contact with the spreading disc, in which case, please contact your dealer. Another reason could be that the spreader was put down with a filled hopper; if so, repair the machine and reset the dosing mechanism and discharge point. Check the spreading discs for damage and ensure all vanes are present. Finally, a build-up of fertilizer at the agitator and/or spreading discs could be the cause; remove the fertilizer and clean the machine thoroughly after each use.

How to troubleshoot flow rate differences in Kverneland Farm Equipment?
- B
  Beth MitchellAug 25, 2025
  If you notice a significant difference in the flow rate between the left and right spreading discs on your Kverneland Farm Equipment, start by checking the actuator settings to ensure they are equal. Next, inspect the position of the connecting points of the actuators and readjust them if they have been moved. Also, verify that the discharge is not blocked on either side; clean the machine thoroughly after each use and replace the agitator if it is worn out.

What causes powerful vibrations in Kverneland Farm Equipment?
- A
  Angel Williams DDSAug 28, 2025
  If you are experiencing powerful vibrations with your Kverneland Farm Equipment, immediately shut down the PTO shaft to prevent further damage. Check the vanes and spreading discs for any imbalance. Inspect the agitator axle and agitator for bending or damage, and replace them if necessary. Ensure the PTO shaft working angle is within the operational limit of a maximum of 30º.

Why is my Kverneland Farm Equipment producing so much dust?
- B
  Beth MooreAug 31, 2025
  Excessive dust during spreading with Kverneland Farm Equipment can be due to average quality fertilizer (too soft, broken, or mixed types) or incorrect storage. Contact your supplier and improve the storage area. Also, consider spreading with smaller working widths. The issue could also be caused by the RPM on the spreading discs being too high, so check the PTO shaft speed and the coupling shaft mounting point.

Why doesn't my Kverneland Farm Equipment spreader appear on the screen?
- S
  Shane Mclaughlin MDSep 8, 2025
  If the spreader does not appear on the screen of your Kverneland Farm Equipment, it might be because the control box is displaying another system; press the switch key to choose the spreader display. Another reason could be that the spreader ISO plug is not connected; ensure you connect the spreader ISO plug. Finally, there might be an interruption in the power supply to the spreader and/or control box; check the electrical cables and fuses.

How to fix incorrect application rates on Kverneland Farm Equipment?
- M
  mendozajosephNov 12, 2025
  To correct incorrect application rates (kg per hectare) with your Kverneland Farm Equipment, first, check the dosing setting. If you're using a fine dosage, ensure it's set according to the instructions. Verify that the driving speed signal source is correctly set in both the control system and the control box, and calibrate the driving speed. Confirm the distance between driving tracks is accurately set before spreading. If you've switched to a new fertilizer type, determine its characteristics, find the appropriate spreading chart, and adjust the spreader accordingly. Ensure the fertilizer flow isn't blocked by cleaning the machine after each use and replacing the agitator if worn. Before starting, input the correct dosing setting and flow rate on the ‘Spreading Settings 1’ screen using ...

What to do if spreading tracks are visible with Kverneland Farm Equipment?
- V
  Vanessa GordonNov 15, 2025
  Spreading tracks visible among the crops with Kverneland Farm Equipment can be addressed by first determining the distribution if you are using average quality fertilizer. If possible, spread with smaller working widths. If using a blend of fertilizer types, check the type, pattern, and distribution, and consider spreading with smaller working widths. If you've switched to a new fertilizer type, determine its characteristics, find the relevant spreading chart, and reset the spreader. Ensure you're using the correct spreading chart by determining the fertilizer's characteristics and selecting the appropriate chart. Always set the driving tracks before spreading to avoid incorrect overlapping. Check that the machine is level horizontally and vertically, unless the spreading chart specifies o...
