Perform a turning test (see operating manual of your fertilizer spreader). • Adjust metering valves on the left and right (see operating manual for your fertilizer spreader). • Note down the start settings in chapter 4 Performing a spreading test. PPS 5 MDS 5903599...
Due to this characteristic, this spreading pattern is less susceptible to influences such as: • Side wind, • Humidity, • Changed fertilizers and quality. These triangular spreading patterns are usually achieved with fertilizers with very good flight properties (such as calcium ammonium nitrate). 5903599 PPS 5 MDS...

• Changed fertilizers and quality. These trapezoidal spreading patterns result from fertilizers with very good flying properties and large working widths (e.g. 24 m), from fertilizers with less good flying properties (e.g. light or angular fertilizers) PPS 5 MDS 5903599...
Performing a spreading test with the desired travel speed and metering quantity for the application: • Open the metering valves 8 m upstream of the collecting vessels. • Close the metering valves 20 m downstream of the collecting vessels. • Spread on both sides. 5903599 PPS 5 MDS...
