Intelligent spreading Adding precision to contract services
”The equal distribution of fertiliser is very important for us. With our spreader with 8 vanes per disc we are ensured about a more continuous flow of fertiliser and a more equal spreading pattern than spreaders with 2 vanes per disc. In this way we guarantee the best yield of our crop. machine reliability, we want the best accuracy on the market. With plug and play ISOBUS simplicity accuracy is on another level. I didn’t believe it until I’d used GEOSPREAD ® for myself. We are using the IsoMatch Tellus GO+ terminal to operate our spreader to ensure more precise farming. In combination with the GEOSPREAD ® system we have achieved a saving of even 10%. The reason for these savings is that we first make one pass around the field and afterwards the sections switch automatically, the spreader adjusts itself so you avoid manual adjustments where you risk opening too early or being too late in closing the shutters. The Exacta TL GEOSPREAD ® is used at around 15 kph. It’s a sensible speed, in fields that average around 10 acres in size, and few fields are flat. I’d probably change to an iDC model next time with hydraulic drive, to eliminate the pto shaft and operate with greater fuel efficiency” The CL GEOSPREAD ® is the spreader for us. On our farm, with our fields and hectares this is simply the perfect spreader.” Peter Beckendorf, Germany Arable land: 100 hectares with the following crops: wheat, triticale, winter barley and oil seed rape. Lyam Haworth, UK Contractor “When it comes to fertilisers, we have to consider what goes on and where, and in addition to The ability to isolate areas that don’t require fertiliser, and provide traceability, is a huge asset for our business. We operate with an 18 m spread width for grassland, which suits rolling and undulating ground, but if there’s tramlines available, then our output improves.
