I’m pretty sure this machine is capable of 42m . Today with a slight breeze 36m was no bother ( nitram) we were traveling at 16k and could have gone a 10k faster if we wanted . At 16k and 36m we could cover a lot of ground very quickly so fitting around the weather is not so much of an issue.
I bought one a month ago, just like the one you tried. Happy with it so far. Had about 100 tons through it. It’s easy to use. I use vra maps with it and the weight is pretty accurate.
So is all the hype about saving fert correct or does it just put it where needed

If i enter 250 kg/ha and drive over 10 ha, it’s usually within 20-25 kg according to the weight. We measured it against my weighbrigde and it spot on within the 10 kg intervals on my wheighbrigde.
I don’t save any fertiliser as i have a quota on n and p. But i set it to 99% of my quota instead of 90% and use the rest for overlap.

They’re a fair bit cheaper than an equivalent KRM, imo for good reason. Not helpful sorry but just my comments

Why do you think that ? I thought the build quality and design was pretty good .

Much less metal imo in the sulky. I’ve just bought a second hand krm and there were 6/7 new sulkys sat there that they couldn’t shift. Also krm are brilliant to deal with. I’m not sure what reco would be like
Do you know how section control work on krm?

I’m not 100% sure but I believe it works on a double double overlap. My understanding of it stops there and I believe it to be witchcraft
Ok, Reco were the former importer for Sulky products in the UK. This ended in 2016 when Richard Ruston decided to close his business. After this, Sulky UK was formed. We are a subsidiary of the factory and supply and support all of our products through our dealer network. We are also available to visit each machine directly if needed. Please feel free to call me on 01778 230020, option 7 if you have any questions.

I just bought a spinner a month ago, and i looked at a few. The krm as i was explained, don’t actually do any section control as it can’t because og the double double spreading pattern. So it just reduce the dose when it’s suppose to only spread in part of the width. Not what i was looking for. And it’s even a national brand for me.

Can’t ask for more than that.
Edited to say - being able to contact someone who actually knows what their talking about certainly goes a long way

I know someone that had 2 of the older type ones (2010/2013?) they had some problems with them and when I narrowed it down to a new KV Geospread or Sulky x40 he said on his experience on the previous model range to the x40 he said he would go KV Geospread, insanely accurate spreader, could do 25kph with 350kg/ha going out no problem, I remember spreading 600acre at 350kg/ha and i had 20kg left over more than I should have, some fields were that badly shaped that the previous machine I had was a 24m Amazon’s ultra something with auto shutoff with only left/right shutters and I would use 15% more product due to field shapes. Like many others on here I couldn’t rate the KV Geospread highly enough, I also know a few people using them at 36m.
@Robt sorry but I had to give my honest opinion.
