[QUOTE="mpm1975, post: 7403263, member: 155910"] Amazone spreaders are quite simple, ZAX models have fixed discs upto 18m with most products, ZAM's have 3 different sets of interchangeable discs as options, which allow spreading from 10-15, 15-24 & 24-36m. The numbers 1000, 1200, 1500 are just the litre capacity of the hopper (though extensions may have been added) They are all accurate as long as the product is bucket tested, as each product flows very differently. Otherwise just put a small known amount in, choose a realistic gate position from the book, do a spread rate check, adjust and crack on. Check the spread rate though the day as temp & humidity can affect product flow rates, the same for any spreader. An in-cab controller helps you do this much better. Border disc's are much more accurate for border spreading while the hydraulic drop down border control systems are OK, but are designed/built for convenience. [/QUOTE]
