FERTILIZER BROADCASTER

Making Agriculture More Economical

10.0 ADJUSTMENTS

10.1 Loading the Hopper

Do not load the hopper over the edge to avoid the loss of fertilizer during the work and travel.

10.2 Spreader Disc Vane Adjustment

4 Blades are on the disc, adjustable in 4 different

positions to allow an optimal distribution

depending on the type of product and working

conditions.

When all the vanes are put in hole 1 (Fig 10.1), the

distribution of the product is increased toward left,

compared to the way of the tractor moving. On the

contrary, if the vanes are put in hole 4, the

distribution will be bigger toward right.

Moving the vanes from position 1 to position 4, at

the same speed, there will be an increase of the

distributing width of fertilizer distribution.

10.3 Setting the Spread Rate

The fertilizer is guided through the two openings

from the split hopper onto the spreading disc. This

opening is adjusted with the lever A and B (Fig.

10.2)

Before any adjustment, check that by putting the

lever in the fully closed position, the bottom

opening of the hopper is fully closed by the shutter

(C). If not then adjust the position of the shutter on

the tie rod (D) through nut (E). (Fig. 10.2)

See the rate chart (Fig. 10.6) for setting to the correct opening number, which is based on the

tractor speed, fertilizer type and spread width.

Move the lever (A & B) along the graduated scale and lock it in the chosen position with the pin.
