SECTION CONTROL
HIGH TECHNOLOGY FOR
HIGH PERFORMANCE SPREADING
The Kverneland GEOSPREAD ® series offer a perfect combination of maximum output, high precision, cost savings and user comfort.
GEOSPREAD ® Section Control The Kverneland GEOSPREAD ® system gives farmers the opportunity to reduce the spreading pattern in sections of 1 metre with highest accuracy. Sections are controlled by changing both the position of the fertiliser discharge point on the disc and the flow rate of the fertiliser. As the disc speed is constant during Section Control, the overlap between both discs is not effected to prevent variations in the spreading pattern and in addition, sections can be switched on and off very quickly.
GEOPOINT ® Headland Management The fertiliser type and the spreader settings determine the GEOPOINT ® , the point where fertiliser drops on the field. The GEOPOINT ® is used to determine the right moment when the spreader is activated while leaving the headland. During manual operation, the spreader is often activated too early which results in overdosing on the headland. The total savings on fertiliser by GEOSPREAD ® Section Control in combination with speed related spreading and GEOPOINT ® headland management can go up to 15%.
In contrast to other systems Kverneland GEOSPREAD ® is able to apply 6 types of Section Control while maintaining an optimal coefficient of variation. This prevents overlap and ensures a homogeneous distribution in the field. • Switch off outside sections left or right hand side • Switch off outside sections left and right hand side • Switch off middle sections, spreading left or right • Switch off middle sections, spreading left and right
