EX(W) Trend STANDARD EQUIPMENT The EX / EXW machine is from factory supplied with all necessary standard equipment. • PTO shaft • Headland spreading TO BORDER, Trend with manual reversible transmission. • Mud guards • Agitators, Excentric free- and slow rotating.
EX(W) Trend MAINTENANCE AND CARE NORMAL MAINTENANCE The BOGBALLE machine is manufactured in such a way that it requires a minimum of maintenance. In the construction it is considered that cleaning and lubrication can be completed quickly and thoroughly – without taking apart the machine.
EX(W) Trend SPECIAL MAINTENANCE, Friction clutch The transmission of the machine is equipped with friction/overload clutch. The friction clutch is a most important component protecting against overload – and a damaged transmission / PTO- shaft. The friction clutch protects especially the reversible gear system of the Trend transmission.

EX(W) Trend GUARANTEE / RESPONSIBILITY • Claim conditions are according to Danish legislation. Service and repair are made free of cost within 12 months from date of purchase on the following conditions: • That the failure is due to construction or material faults (Normal wear, missing maintenance and misuse not included).
EX(W) Trend SPREADING SYSTEM The BOGBALLE spreading system is base on an Integrated Center System – ICS, where the spreading discs of the machine during NORMAL spreading – rotate against each other – and spread in a radius of 180°, with a 100 % overlap.
EX(W) Trend SETTING SYSTEM The setting system consists of a setting handle, different connection rods and outlet shutters. Pos. 1 SETTING HANDLE , Hydraulic/CALIBRATOR The connection rod of the setting handle must be mounted in such a way that the shutters of the spreader are closed –...
EX(W) Trend OUTLET SHUTTERS The machine’s hopper bottom is equipped with a turnable outlet shutter for right and left side respectively. The outlet shutter can be locked in three different positions. Closed outlet (Calibration / rest emptying) Normal outlet (For fertiliser)

EX(W) Trend • The transmission of the machine with reversible rotation direction together with the double function of the spreading vane ensure that the spreader can be transformed from NORMAL spreading to HEADLAND speading – by making only one change – which can even be set with cable connection from the driver’s seat.
EX(W) Trend MACHINE SETTINGS GENERAL GUIDANCE FOR MACHINE SETTINGS PTO- speed, rpm. NORMAL spreading TILT- angle See chart (°) WORKING HEIGHT, Standard Max. WORKING HEIGHT, Late application WORKING HEIGHT, Chassis kit See chart Kg/Ha QUANTITY SETTING VANE / SPREAD WIDTH, Position POS.
EX(W) Trend TILT ANGLE The machine must be ”tilted” as indicated in the spread chart. The tilt angle is important for the spread width and is – besides the quantity setting – in reality the only setting to be done on the machine.
Page 17
EX(W) Trend WORKING HEIGHT – LATE APPLICATION Options are not necessary for late application in high crops. • The link pins of the spreader are moved to the lowest position in order to lift the machine as much as possible.
EX(W) Trend QUANTITY SETTING, Spread chart / Internet: www.bogballe.com If case the machine is not equipped with CALIBRATOR, the quantity setting is made on the basis of the instructions in the spread chart. It must be noted that the spread chart is only a guide, because the quantity spread depends on the exactness of the driving speed and the tramline distance, but also of the quality of the fertiliser in question.
EX(W) Trend VANE / SPREAD WIDTH Setting U- cut The vanes are mounted as standard in POS. 1-2 When mounting the fixing bolt must be pulled fully out into the U-shaped cut before tightening the nut. One vane in POS. 1 On each spreading disc One vane in POS.
EX(W) Trend FUNCTION OF SPREADING VANE The spreading vane is a key part of the machine – for which reason it is very important to mount the vanes correctly – and that they are intact. The Trend system is using both sides of the spreading vanes with: FRONT SIDE for NORMAL- spreading –...
EX(W) Trend The Trend SYSTEM….. will basically: ” Use the rotation direction which is most suitable for NORMAL spreading ……and HEADLAND spreading respectively”. This means in practice that the system ensures with NORMAL rotation direction, full overlap at NORMAL spreading on the main area of the field ……and a limited spread pattern with single overlap towards the border at headland spreading –...
Page 22
EX(W) Trend The spreading can be divided into two systems. • A system for NORMAL spreading on the NORMAL area of the field. • A system for HEADLAND spreading along the BORDER of the field. The HEADLAND- spreading can again be divided into two systems, say: •...
EX(W) Trend NORMAL spreading At the NORMAL spreading the machine is set as stated under the paragraphs: Standard transmission PTO-SPEED TILT ANGLE NORMAL WORKING HEIGHT rotation direction. QUANTITY SETTING Is turned COUNTER- VANE/SPREAD WIDTH CLOCKWISE! MUST BE TURNED AGAINST STOP! STOP The machine setting is based on spread tests made in BØGBALLE’s test hall.
EX(W) Trend TEST WITH TEST TRAYS For a practical test in the field it is possible to use test trays in order to ensure a correct spread width and thus an optimum overlap. The tray test must be made with great care as wrong placement of the test trays may result in faulty measuring and faulty setting of the machine.
Page 25
EX(W) Trend The contents of the test trays will indicate the distribution in the field. Optimum overlap Too SMALL spread width/overlap Too LARGE spread width/overlap Tilt angle must be increased Tilt angle must be decreased The optimum setting is achieved – and a good variation coefficient is achieved.

EX(W) Trend HEADLAND spreading, TO BORDER with border to the right in the driving direction. The BOGBALLE machine can by means of a cable switch (option) …..be changed to HEADLAND spreading – without leaving the tractor cab. This way you have a very user friendly system – which ensures at the same time optimum headland spreading.

EX(W) Trend HEADLAND-spread width can be mentioned as 3 categories: Rate reduction at 12-18 metres MINIMUM Minimum quantity over border - 20 % MEDIUM Medium quantity 25-70% at border - 10 % MAXIMUM Maximum quantity to border - 0 %...
EX(W) Trend PRACTICAL TEST In case you want to make a practical test in the field it is possible to place test trays in the field . Such a test must be done very carefully - and the test can if it is not correct - be misleading.

EX(W) Trend Examples of HEADLAND spread pattern, FROM BORDER. The HEADLAND spreading system FROM BORDER, is developed for spread widths from 12 – 24 metres. In case spread widths larger than 24 metres are required – it will not be suitable to use this system –...
EX(W) Trend The HEADLAND spreading system, FROM BORDER, is developed for considering the environment as much as possible – and considering at the same time the demands for optimum yield. • Please consider that the distance between the tramlines must be equal to the spread width.
EX(W) Trend TURNINGS AT THE HEADLANDS When turning at the headlands, the below OPEN / CLOSE instructions should be followed. • If the instructions are followed the result will be full overlap to the end of the field and no fertiliser is spread outside the field.
EX(W) Trend SPREADING ON NON RECTANGULAR FIELDS When spreading in non rectangular fields, it is often the opinion that one side of the maschine should be closed in order to achieve a good result. Closing one side of the machine results in sharp overlaps in the areas where the closing is done.
EX(W) Trend CHECKS OF TRACTOR – before use It is important that the lift arms of the tractor are set horizontally. If this is not the case the spreader will ”tilt” and the fertiliser will not spread equally to both sides of the spreader.
EX(W) Trend PRACTICAL HINTS • Prevent ”packing” the fertiliser by driving over long distances on uneven ground with a full hopper. • The spreading discs should not rotate for long periods when the shutters are closed. The fertiliser will pack and thus cause squeezing between shutter and agitator. The ”fingers”...
EX(W) Trend – special Trend Trend BØGBALLE ……….the ultimative solution! The EXW machine is equipped with one parallel mounted 6 tons stainless weight cell, which makes it possible together with CALIBRATOR – to have complete control during the field work.
EX(W) Trend USING THE CALIBRATION KIT BOGBALLE supplies as an optional extra, a very usefull CALIBRATION KIT for checking and setting the quantity of the machine. The CALIBRATION KIT can also be used when emptying the hopper. The calibration kit is used for stationary calibration, so that the machine is adjusted precisely in comparison to the nature of the fertiliser in question.
