New spreader, not sure why there’s a difference?

Terrible roads, Between 10 and 14 mile round trip but not an especially high fert rate and I do have a lovely green tractor with air cab suspension….. 😂
Have you been pressing the auto cal button sometimes?
to be fair within 300 of theoretical is good. I aim for about 5%. The calibration factor varies massively through the day I’ve found.

No, should I be?

Yesterday was first day with it, replaced a 20 year old one with no weigh cells or anything, but with the price of fert now we decided we needed a bit more accuracy!

The first 70 meters got way more than it should have done and only spreading on one side and this was after a spring service. Fiddled and farted engineer called he fiddled as well then all of a sudden a statement from him asking how long had we thought our spreader didn't need the speed sensor plugged in, instantly work another lesson. Accuracy to target over 99%
