Looking to change fertiliser spreader, is hydraulic drive a advantage ?
Thanks

Would depend on your tractor?Certainly more expensive you can regulate the speed better with hyd
No idea only one I’ve used was isobus running through a jd screen you just tweaked the elec spool on the screenWould depend on your tractor?
We've only one with easy to adjust electric spools. Once you have hydraulic flow set can you vary disc speed with control box?
Yes you can give the spreader full flow from tractor and it regulates the disc speed itselfWould depend on your tractor?

That sounds good then. I imagined it was fully controlled by flow rate from tractor.Yes you can give the spreader full flow from tractor and it regulates the disc speed itself
The Amazon I run is certainly controlled through the box and I’m sure Kuhn is the same can’t speak for anything else. Run the spool about no 6 on my JD Gives enough flow for the whole speed range of the discs.That sounds good then. I imagined it was fully controlled by flow rate from tractor.
To be fair the hydraulic option on a kv is fairly crap compared to other's as it just replaces the PTO from what I can see . Where others have a motor for each disc so you can do a lot more with it and no need for a border limiter that shatters fert .Problem comes with certain tractors that the Hyd/trans oil changes temperature a lot, then the spreader needs a calibration jmhalfwsy through the day...we offer a hyd option on our Kv ones but have never sold one, if the drop point is altered onto the disc, then the fert can be placed right across the full with of the spreader...if your tractors a vario, even better, set the pto speed and do what you want with the fed speed eh!
What Type of Kverneland spreader are you running and whats your thoughts ?To be fair the hydraulic option on a kv is fairly crap compared to other's as it just replaces the PTO from what I can see .

If I stay with kv for the next spreader I'll be looking to go hydraulic but if it's not cost effective it'll have to be a pto again
