What to do if there is a difference between the flowrate on the left and the right spreading discs of Vicon RO-M EW Spreader?
- J
  Jesus FischerAug 9, 2025
  Uneven flow rates between the left and right spreading discs on your Vicon Spreader may be due to several reasons. The dosing setting or discharge points might not be set the same on both sides. Alternatively, the stop of one or both of the actuators may have been moved, or there could be a blockage on one side. To solve this, check the dosing settings and ensure they are identical on both sides. Inspect the position of the connecting points and readjust them if necessary. Also, clean the machine thoroughly to remove any blockages and replace the agitator if it's worn.

What to do if Vicon RO-M EW has spreading tracks visible among the crops?
- K
  Kristen MartinezAug 15, 2025
  Visible spreading tracks among crops when using the Vicon Spreader can be due to several factors. These include average fertilizer quality (granule size), using a blend of fertilizer types, using new fertilizer with old settings, using the wrong spreading chart, incorrect overlapping of the spreading pattern, incorrect horizontal/vertical settings, incorrect spreader height, incorrect working width, worn or missing vanes, unequal tire pressure on the tractor, reduced spreading disc rpm, or an improperly set discharge point or dosing mechanism. To fix this, determine the fertilizer characteristics, select the correct spreading chart, set out driving tracks properly, ensure the machine is level, set the correct working height, and check the discharge points and PTO shaft rpm.
