[QUOTE="hutchy143211, post: 8371674, member: 110394"] Basically the fertiliser isn't dropped onto the vane of the disc, it's dropped into a round chamber in the centre of the disc instead (called centre flow system). In here it gets upto speed before centregual force causes it to leave out of an opening before its thrown by the 8 vanes. The gap/cup is rotated around by one electric actuator which changes where the fertiliser exits onto the vanes and this controls how wide it spreads/section control. There's then a second actuator which controls the flow rate out the hopper which controls application rate. In reality its a really simple system that just makes sense. There are lots of really good videos that show how it works but essentially it stops shattering/dusting of the fert from impacting impacting vanes and so improves spreading quality. Its very noticeable in the field because there's no cloud of dust behind the spreader as its working. [MEDIA=youtube]ToIxCFPIUhs[/MEDIA] Although it's a longer video Rob, who's talking and who Farmstar got to meet with us before we bought our machine, explains how all of the spreader works really well. 6-10 mins in is how the dosing works.
