Fertilizer spreaders QUIVOGNE D-903, SV, etc.

The fertilizer spreader is a mechanical unit that evenly distributes nutrients over the surface of the soil on which crops are grown. In addition to fertilizing, special equipment is used for transporting, mixing and grinding nutrients. Fertilizers can be applied in the following forms:

• Granular.
• Dust-like.
• Liquid solutions.
• Manure compositions.

Depending on the form of the applied nutrients, the appropriate setting of the fertilizer spreader is performed.

For an even distribution of nutrients, a pendulum tube or a mechanism with rotating blades can be used. Equipment with pendulum tubes is used only in small areas, since it is inferior in performance to disk spreaders of mineral fertilizers.

Advantages and disadvantages
Among the advantages are:

• Uniform distribution of nutrients over the entire area.
• High speed of field processing.
• Control of the introduced portions by adjusting the fertilizer spreader.
• Some models can be used for sowing.
• Possibility of use with different tractors.
• Fault-tolerant design, reliable mechanism for the distribution of mineral and organic substances.
• Maintainability, ease of maintenance.

The disadvantages of this technique include its cost, so those farmers who have small plots often use manual spreaders.

Selection criteria
When buying a spreader, you need to consider the following parameters:

• For what type of fertilizers the equipment is intended.
• Type of construction (mounted, trailed).
• The capacity of the bunker.
• The width of the capture.
• Performance indicator.
• The weight of the unit with an empty container.
• The design of the distribution mechanism.
• Recommended tractor power.
