8.2 Spreader Plates The machines have 8 or 10 outlet tubes, feed hoses can be split with the black “ Y” connectors provided, to give 16 or 20 spreader plates. Depending on the implement width and if you require a broadcast or band sown effect, use as many outlets as required, with or without the spreaders.
The 6m instrument lead connects to the junction box of the Turbo Jet, and runs to the control panel in the tractor cab. NOTE: Extension power and instrument cables available if required.
