Basic 36m fert spreader

[warksfarmer]

Is there one? Nothing fancy but big enough to hold 2.4t of Urea and can it spread 36m of good quality Urea. Don’t need weighcells / auto shut off or anything like that. No need to variable rate capability either.

Kuhn 30.2? S8 discs.

Every manufacturer will have that model in their portfolio. There won’t be many in stock though .

Good quality Urea ?

It will need to be excellent quality to spread 36m.

Got some from Diamond and it’s really nice stuff to be honest. Best I’ve ever seen but spreading at 18m due to 36m isn’t ideal. I think this stuff would spread at 36 though if I could.

For next year .

Amazone do one.
The only thing you will want is the speed matching capability. ie when you go a bit faster or slower, it still puts the same amount on

That would involve electrickery though? Does it matter if you are 2/3% out, after all you are only really guessing the amount of N needed in any one year. Even ‘precision‘ N involves guessing the weather after putting it on so it maybe precision applied but hardly precision farming….

No don’t even want that.

PTO drive and independent (left / right hydraulic discs is all I want.

I bought an old amazone ZAM this yr. GPS speed sensor wasnt working initially, so unclipped the actuators and went properly old school. Tray tested urea perfectly at 36m, and worked out bob-on over the area. Cheap spreading really.

A sulky DX30+ basic is 3000l capacity with 1 normal and 1 wide extension. It’s exactly the spec you mention. No electronics. 7 year paint corrosion warranty. Speak to Tallis Amos or if you want the number of the sales chap at Sulky message me

I've a Kuhn Axis 30.1 S4 discs so only to 24m, spreading Urea today, no electrics apart from the roadlights!

S8 discs best for 36m.

Build quality and paint is great on the Kuhn Axis, they are Rauch with Kuhn stickers for the UK: https://rauch.de/en/

As @Flat 10 said Axis 30.2 D is the current no electrics model.

I went with an amazone a couple of years ago as you want bog basic to replace the same like for like. I like it does what it says on the tin 2 firms to price but 1 wouldn't. No way he was selling a basic machine would only price with auto shut off weigh cells etc.

Looking for a 2nd hand spreader at the moment and the paint on Kuhn’s and Vicons is very good. Kuhn looks a very well thought out machine that looks easiest to clean and I like the slow spinning agitators that won’t grind the products up in the bottom of the hopper. Haven’t priced a new 30.2d up yet. Regretting not going further for a as new one at a sale last week

Our 30.1 is just like what WF wants but don't know how it will handle urea out to his distance
No fancy electricity things, set it up as to the Kuhn app wanted. Aimed for 160kg /ha and got 163, near enough for me,,,,,,,,, seems we've bred a country full of farmers who can't read or use a calculator and like to spend money on expensive soil sampling so they can justify there mega money electric spreaders


Only joking

 

[Flat 10]

Weighcells give me more output on my Kuhn and I can justify them on that basis alone. As I vary speed between 10 and 20k. Saves me a little time with a calculator too……

Until fertiliser and water corrode the contacts and you can't do any because the computer says "No"!

 

[debe]

Got a 30.1 and a 40.1w. know which will keep going longer!

30.1 is a squeeze to get 3 bags of urea in with the extensions I have.

TV machinery have a couple for sale

Which is probably exactly @warksfarmer s point. 40.1w did 16 years with no electrical faults but off topic again sorry

Depends how it’s looked after
I know of plenty hyd ram on/off machines at 2/3years old wit linkages seized up
