A host of new features are being introduced on the Vicon Rotaflow spreader range for the 2015 season to further increase accuracy and efficiency. Spread widths up to 54m are now possible with the RO-XL and RO-XL EDW GEOcontrol when equipped with high-lift vanes.
It’s easy to check working widths and spreading potential on these latest models using the spreading charts available through the revised https://uk.vicon.eu/ website, the AutosetApp on the IsoMatch Tellus terminal or via the spreading charts app that’s available for smartphones.
The Autoset App connects the IsoMatch Tellus universal in-cab terminal with the spreader and automatically adjusts the spreader according to settings entered into the app by the operator.
After entering data into the terminal (working width, application rate, forward speed, distribution size and density of the fertiliser, and the selection of shape and product type), the operator is given setting advice for the product. This setting advice data can then be sent to the spreader, that automatically adjusts its settings to suit.
Additional changes to the spreader range include a hydraulic border spreading plate on all models except the RO-C, to provide control of border spreading from the tractor cab. There’s also a new TrimFlow border spreading system too, and this is available for left- and right-hand spreading, making it possible to spread in a very small field using both TrimFlow mechanisms simultaneously.
Mudguards now protect the spreader against dirt and water being thrown up from the tractor wheels, while a new parking frame makes it easy to store and transport the spreader using pallet forks.
LED rear lights are also part of the standard specification.
Prices for the Vicon Rotaflow range start from £3,513 for the RO-C and reach £17,396 for the RO-XL EDW with GEOcontrol (correct at February 2015).
