The capabilities of spreader technology have soared in recent years, with many new designs being able to push the boundaries when it comes to precision application. CPM takes a look at what’s new on the market. We’re continuing to make great strides towards improving accuracy. By Charlotte Cunningham As with everything in agriculture at present, there’s a huge focus on precision when it comes to fertiliser spreaders. In the case of fertiliser, this precision is essential not only for improving profitability, but also for minimising the environmental impact these products have. And this notion has certainly been reflected in spreader design over recent years, with manufacturers making a conscious effort to ensure their product applies fertiliser as accurately as possible. For 2021, Amazone has further improved spreader accuracy with the introduction of ProfisPro. Amazone are among the manufacturers making great strides towards improving accuracy – both lateral and longitudinal, says Simon Browne, the firm’s managing director. “With regard to longitudinal, we’ve developed the Profis weigh cell system over the past 20 years which enables any deviations of the actual application rate from the target rate to be accurately identified. “The weigh cells on the current spreader programme measure the…
