Principles of operating a mounted spreader.
Two hand levers are used to turn the movable adjustment discs, which in a fixed position can be locked with a special pin. When setting the spreader to the desired sowing rate of a given fertilizer, use a special table in the operator's manual, containing the size of doses of individual fertilizers, which can be obtained with different positions of the movable control discs. Due to the small capacity of the tank, of approx 0,25 ms, During the operation of this spreader there are frequent downtimes necessary to fill the tank. In order to improve the organization of work when filling the tanks of suspended spreaders, some farms use special bunkers suspended on the side of the trailer with fertilizer placed at the edge of the field.. While the fertilizer spreader is spreading the fertilizer, one of the employees fills the tray. After sowing the fertilizer, the spreader is placed under the hopper, from which, after tilting the bottom, the entire content is poured into the spreader tank. When operating this spreader with a tractor with over 40 MILES [30 kW] the capacity of the tank can be increased by installing a special extension.
