If you have access to trays then test your spreader with the vanes down, go there and back and see what the spread pattern is like and if you have anything to worry about .When spreading urea on spring barley at 150kg/ha I did a field with the border deflector on left down. Kuhn axis spreader at 18m.
What can I do anything to rectify this?

I've done exactly as above with a Kuhn and the telimat, couldn't see any real difference, wouldn't worry about it.Ive don't the whole field with the border thing / telemat on a Kuhn spreader left down. Was fine. The limiter brings it to almost a hard stop on that side, and so it all lines up in the field. Or good as. Not enough for me to fret about.
I always have the back window open on the latch, just so I can hear the fert.I have done this multiple times this season alone!
I don’t understands why the spreader manufacturers don’t fit an alarm in the screen that beeps say once every 10 seconds when the border spreader is down. You’d soon remember it then.
It has enough other alarms for low hopper, empty hopper, low disc speed, high disc speed, greasing required etc. and many of those seem less important to me.
Need a few wide wheelings or missed bits in the drilling and with the canes and flags it'll look like he's hosting Cereals there next yearIf near the road, buy some canes and flags then if it is a mess just pop them in and make sure neighbours see you walking about writing stuff in a book.
Oh, I thought everyone had wide wheelings and missed bits anyway…. or is just me?Need a few wide wheelings or missed bits in the drilling and with the canes and flags it'll look like he's hosting Cereals there next year
As long as your not working in lands it will be fineWhen spreading urea on spring barley at 150kg/ha I did a field with the border deflector on left down. Kuhn axis spreader at 18m.

Totally agree with this-just bought my 2nd Geo spreader and was hoping that they would have added a’beep’ to the flashing icon,but seems KV ignored my suggestion!On our Kubota there is a sensor linked to a little icon/picture on the main spreading screen. This is to tell you if the border thing is up or down.
It's very good, but it's not fool proof!
I forgot to lift the thing and spread about half the middle of a field while doing the 2nd dose of N. I know where I did it, but right now I can't tell that it happened. So I wouldn't worry about it.
