To accurately apply products with a variable bulk density you need a spreader with load cells and auto rate control like on the Agri-Spread, which does an excellent job of spreading lime, gypsum and manure.

With the Agri-Spread the bin sits on load cells and the floor belt is driven hydraulically. They work together with a unique feature called dynamic calibration, which is an on-the-go auto calibration mode. A feature specifically designed to handle the accurate application of products with varying bulk density.

In dynamic calibration mode the Agri-Spread Apollo controller compares the actual rate to the target rate and varies the belt speed to compensate.

Agri-Spread is a precision spreader and is certified by AFSA to spread urea to 36m. It can spread accurately down to 1kg/ha for products like mouse off and snail baits and up 10,000kg/ha for product like manure.

Agri-Spread comes standard with two sets of spinner discs to handle the range of product being applied on farm. One set for relatively free flowing fertilisers and the other for products with a variable bulk density like manure, gypsum, lime.

The Agri-Spread easily connected to any ISOBUS compatible tractor through the Apollo graphic user interface which loads into the tractor Virtual Terminal

The Apollo setup, calibration and rate control is all managed through the VT ensuring application rate accuracy, irrespective of forward speed, product density or application rate

The Agri-Spread is very durable with the bottom third and rear of the bin made from stainless steel. As well all of the fixtures, nuts, bolts and hydraulic fittings are made from stainless.

As the Australian distributor of the Agri-Spread product Waringa Distribution has seen the spreaders quickly build a large following.  The product has gained a solid reputation and the very satisfied Agri-Spread customers on the ground and out in the paddock are the products best and most reliable form of advertising.
