High-volume granular fertiliser spreading can now be achieved more efficiently and accurately with Sulky’s innovative Econov section shut-off technology, available on its large capacity XT range of trailed spreaders.
With the largest range of trailed fertiliser spreaders on the market (from 7,200 to 15,500 litres with double axles) Sulky offers a very wide choice of spreading tools, for granular, pellet or even powdered fertiliser.
The XT100 (7,200 litres) and XT130 (9,500 litres) spreader models for applying granular fertiliser are now fitted with Sulky section shut-off. This innovative spreading system is carried out via six boom sections using a Matrix 840 GS guidance bar, for position in the field, linked to the Vision control box to manage the spreader. In this way the operator has a continuous double display for guidance and machine control.
Depending on the GPS position, two electric actuators adjust the fertiliser dropping point on the discs to adjust the sections to the actual shape of the field. The result of this system, patented by Sulky, is section management achievable in all possible configurations, including the option to open just the end section alone. At the same time two other actuators adjust the opening of the flow rate, the inclined position of which enables the application rate to respond depending on the number of closed sections.
The management of a curved spreading pattern, exclusive to Sulky, makes it possible to match the reality of centrifugal spreading and maximise efficiency, accuracy and performance, even on headlands.
The Econov XT range of spreaders have the advantage of the patented Epsilon spreading system enabling working widths of up to 50m with good quality granular fertiliser. The weight of fertiliser remaining in the hopper can be constantly monitored with SW weighing, fitted as standard, enabling efficient management of refilling operations.
