[QUOTE="JockCroft, post: 8155839, member: 166068"] Think you will struggle to get spreading rate low enough on wagtail with equal amounts, and seeds flow so much faster than fertiliser so much faster flow ratio. Work out how much fert and how much seed for an acre, measure it into spreader and remember to mix. Mark out roughly an acre and try it. Remember to work on half width (i.e. cover the ground twice) and dont stop on that acre until spreader empty. If it helps I spread 100kg (2 old fashioned cwt.) and 5kg of mixed brassica's per acre. Spreader adjusted so that the 3 openings just let my index finger through to first knuckle. Easiest set if hopper is off, Take note of setting lever. You will probably have to open or close a little. then forward speed about 5mph. Be aware that flow rates vari quite a lot with different fertilisers. Would have put a picture on but way too wet for ground work up here. [/QUOTE]
