Spreading
Industry leaders in spreader technology with GPS guidance and computerised systems for precision application.
Spreaders
Fertspread is an industry leader in spreading technology. The spreading fleet currently consists of 10 technologically advanced spreaders all with GPS guidance and computerised spreading systems to ensure spreading accuracy.
The vehicles are 4WD Scanias and Hino Rangers with custom built bins and a computer controlled spinner system. Fertspread's Operators are Fertcare Accredited and spreaders are Accu-Spread tested.
The spreaders have weigh scales and agricultural GPS mapping linked to computer controllers which run the machines. This ensures application rates can be accurately managed by the operators as tonnages weighed and hectares covered can be recorded.
Fertspread is also able to offer spreading services for large scale soil, mulch, manure, compost and biosolid applications. Fertspread's Bunnings Mulch Spreader offers a very efficient and cost effective way to spread bulk soil products.
Spreading Accuracy
The Accu-Spread protocol developed within the AFSA Codes of Practice and the FertCare program allows for the accreditation of spreading equipment. Spreaders are tested for accuracy which is vital for the efficient spreading of fertiliser and soil ameliorants.
The test involves running the spreader over a set of test trays from which the product is collected and weighed. The results are then put through a computer program to determine the variation in spread at different spread widths.
An optimum spread width (bout width) can then be determined in which the machine can operate with less than 15% variation. This means that spreader operators know the optimum bout width they should be using for different products to give maximum accuracy and efficiency to the customer.
Unless a machine is tested regularly there is no way of knowing if its spreading accurately. Don't compromise your fertiliser program by using untested machinery. Talk to Fertspread about the importance of spreading accuracy.
