Product description

Manure spreader with wide-spreading system

The sprung tandem carries 12.000 kg and spreads up to 25 m wide. Two horizontal metering rollers feed the material to two spreading discs, supplied by four conveyor chains with infinitely variable adjustment.

25 m spreading width – the key feature of this spreader

That's more than twice the width of spreaders with vertical rollers.

How the system works: Two metering, screw-shaped drums with bolted-on blades break up the material and feed it to two wide-spreading discs, each with four blades. These spreading discs throw the material out to the sides.

The economic benefits of the wide working width:

• Half as many passes. At a working width of 25 m instead of 12 m, the number of runs across the field is halved.
• Less soil compaction. Every fewer run protects the subsoil – an effect that lasts for years.
• Faster spreading. Every load counts, especially with compost and digestate, which are applied at high rates per hectare.
• Matches tramline widths. If you work with a 24 or 27 m spraying width, you can use the existing tramlines.

Horizontal rather than vertical – the choice

Rule of thumb: Vertical rollers engage the full loading height and handle long-straw, matted farmyard manure better. Horizontal rollers with spreading discs distribute material further and more evenly – they excel with compost, digestate, poultry manure and well-rotted material.

11,3 m³ with a 12-tonne payload

The ratio is deliberate: compost and well-rotted manure are heavy – with a 12-tonne payload, the weight limit is reached long before the volume limit.

For comparison: A spreader with an 18 m³ capacity and the same payload could never be fully loaded with heavy material. The more compact body instead saves unladen weight.

Four conveyor chains with infinitely variable adjustment

The hydraulically driven chain floor can be adjusted continuously. This is the actual application-rate control: the faster the floor moves, the more material reaches the rollers per metre.

Four chains instead of two pull evenly across the full floor width – with sticky compost, this is the difference between an even flow and material left behind in the middle.

Tailgate with height indicator

The reinforced tailgate is hydraulically operated as standard and has a height indicator.

Why the indicator is the key metering aid: The opening height, together with the forward speed, determines how much material reaches the rollers. Without an indicator, adjustment is a matter of guesswork and cannot be repeated on the next job – with the indicator, the setting can be reproduced and recorded for fertiliser planning.

Hydraulic protective flap and rubber lining

• The rear protective flap is hydraulically operated and prevents material from falling out during transport.
• The rubber lining inside the tailgate cushions the flow of material and prevents manure from becoming trapped between the flap and frame.

Single-line lubrication system

It centrally lubricates the adapter bearings. Spreading mechanism bearings operate in dust, moisture and aggressive salts – regular lubrication determines their service life and they are otherwise difficult to access on the machine.

Control options

When is ISOBUS worthwhile? When spreading by prescription map and documenting application rates – a practical way to meet the nutrient balance requirements under the Fertiliser Ordinance.

Deflector to limit spreading

Available as optional equipment. With a 25 m spreading width, it is effectively essential: Without it, the Fertiliser Ordinance's buffer requirements for watercourses and field margins cannot be met.

Optional equipment

• AT or EU type approval, including documents
• Rigid drawbar for lower hitching (no extra charge)
• K80 towing eye
• Two-line compressed-air brakes with ALB
• Lever control for conveyor feed, slide gate, flap and support leg
• Electro-hydraulic conveyor speed control
• BASIC or FULL application-rate control system
• ISOBUS data transfer system, with or without control panel
• PTO shafts and wide-angle PTO shafts in various versions
• Deflector to limit spreading
• Side underrun protection
• Rear underrun protection, type-approved and foldable
• Spare wheel, warning triangle

Applications

Arable farms with large fields, agricultural contractors, compost spreading, biogas plants spreading digestate, poultry farms, agricultural merchants and recycling businesses, local authorities.

Operating notes

• Maintain a PTO speed of 1.000 rpm.
• Check the towing vehicle's drawbar load: up to 2.500 kg.
• Ensure there are sufficient hydraulic connections – the tailgate, protective flap and controls require additional connections.
• Determine the spreading width with the actual material before the first load – it depends greatly on moisture and texture.
• Plan and document application rates in accordance with the Fertiliser Ordinance; record the tailgate height and conveyor speed.
• Observe buffer distances from watercourses and field margins – the deflector is designed for this purpose.
• Never climb into the body or handle the adapter while the PTO is running.
• Before working on the spreading mechanism, disengage the PTO, stop the engine and wait for all parts to come to a standstill.
• Keep people clear of the spreading discs – material is thrown out at high speed.
• Refill the lubrication system regularly and check that it is working.
• Check the chains for tension and wear.
• Clean after use – manure salts promote corrosion.

Frequently asked questions

How wide does the spreader spread?

Up to 25 m. Two metering drums feed the material to two spreading discs, which throw it out to the sides.

How does it differ from a spreader with vertical rollers?

The spreading width: 25 m instead of around 12 m. Vertical rollers are better suited to long-straw, matted farmyard manure, while horizontal rollers with spreading discs excel with compost, digestate and well-rotted material.

How much can the spreader hold?

11,3 m³ with a payload of 12.000 kg and a permissible gross weight of 18.660 kg.

Why only 11,3 m³ with a 12-tonne payload?

Compost and well-rotted manure are heavy – the payload limit is reached long before the volume limit. A larger body would only add unladen weight.

How do I set the application rate?

By adjusting the chain floor's infinitely variable conveyor speed and the opening height of the hydraulic tailgate. The height indicator makes it possible to reproduce a proven setting.

Do I need the deflector?

With a 25 m spreading width, practically yes – without it, it is difficult to meet the Fertiliser Ordinance's buffer requirements for watercourses and field margins.

Which control system should I choose?

As standard, everything is controlled via the tractor's spool valve. BASIC provides a control panel for conveyor speed and the slide gate; FULL also includes the flap and work lights. ISOBUS is the choice for prescription spreading with documentation.

What tractor do I need?

127,3 PS or 93,6 kW, a PTO running at 1.000 rpm, a hitch rated for a 2.500 kg drawbar load and several hydraulic connections.
