Right folks , and possibly the arable guru on here @DieselRob . Bought this Krm fert spinner recently at a sale . It’s a 2014 but seems fresh , but no instructions with it .
Amyone got a rough idea what the setting , and speed would need to be to sow Urea at 2cwt an acre . Or better 1.5 cwt . Yes I’m sure there is an App or something but I’m a techno dunce !🥴

I've got the same spreader with some notes scribbled in a book somewhere for settings. I've not put urea through it but there might be something useful if your stuck with other things.
Don't think I'd be going as fast as everyone else has said though bit steep for those sorts of speeds here tractor might fall over :dead:
 
I’ve had all sorts of spreaders and although I am not all 100% Amazone fan I’ve not managed to stripe it with either the old one or the new one so I’m sticking with them

I hadn’t a clue what speed , so when he mentioned what vanes were on it , I drove the tractor across the yard , and thought yep 10 /12 ish seems about right !😂
If you find your scribblings , send a picture!👍

Nice and technical livestock tractor driving, @DieselRob thought it was his time to spread some knowledge on this thread.
Got to share the wealth on your given subject

I had to laugh though, I’d converted the 1.5cwt to kg for the app, thought I’d best convert the speed back to mph but he caught me out in the meantime asking for it in kph so then had to edit my post 😂

The Amazone app never adds up to what rate you want
