    Spreader for SFI and Fert

    Budget £15k-£20k. Ability to spread SFI mixes at 12m. Cereal work 36m. Urea and P&K. Gypsum would be handy as well. Mounted or trailed. Weigh cells. Auto shut off would be nice but not paramount. Headland management would be nice but not paramount. Is there anything made out of galvanised steel?

    Kuhn spreader app

    Is the quantity in kg/ min the combined amount from both disks or just 1 side?

    Michael Gove and the Conservatives did this.

    Destroyed OSR as a reliable break crop in the U.K. while welcoming in imports grown using chemicals they banned here on the flimsiest of evidence for populist reasons. If that isn’t duplicitous then I don’t know what is. At the next election when I go into the polling station I’ll remember this.
