Fertiliser Spreader- best border spreader

[Salopian_Will]

Get on well with Amazone TS here. 3 different types of border spread to choose from (for each product) which are individually set and fined tuned easily by operator.
As we use liquid as well we pull back border spread from edge and top up with a 2-4m application of liquid around each headland.

Amazone TS here. Replaced a KRM mainly as we couldn’t get on with the headland spreading - was putting too much on, on the inside of the headland causing flat patches.

Was torn between a TS and kverneland after all of the good reviews on here, but they weren’t offering hydraulic drive that would allow for the discs to work at different speeds, which felt like the right thing for maximum accuracy. I think the new ones can be fully hydraulic now. Very happy with the TS although it did throw a bit of a wobbly on autocalibration in its first season.

I’ve a KRM and think the border spread is quite accurate, the only problem is with small fields you have to keep stopping the PTO to reverse the discs then start up again loose a lot of time. Otherwise accurate, easy to set up and well built.

Do all the fields headlands in one go.

Not easy with the GPS

Have you a method of turning the disc direction from the cab

The Sky Agriculture (formerly Sulky) "X" range of spreaders have the 3D Tribord border spreading system. They move the drop point which replaces the long vane with a short Tribord vane and alter the rate accordingly. It's turned on easily through the terminal.
As someone else has mentioned they're very gentle on the fertiliser, reducing dust and therefore wastage. They also come with a 7 year anti-perforation corrosion warranty for the paintwork.

Which do you use I go roughly half way between

I just use full border spreading

 

[JLLM]

Lely?

Think I'll stick with my centreliner just tilt the whole machine over with a hyd ram. But then I'm only spreading at 15m not 30m+.

Yep, got the L2 icon so controls in the cab, plugs into tractor for the speed to vary the rate. It’s the time waiting for the PTO to stop reverse the discs set it off again.
