Orchard MD

Just like our original 3T-ORCHARD model, the stainless steel bin volume is large at 2.35 cubic metres, and the wide rubber belt is perfect for handling composts, mulches, poultry manure and grape marc, as well as the full range of granulated fertilisers, lime and gypsum.

 Like all PRO-SERIES spreaders, our Orchard models have full electronic control with touchscreen and hydraulic drive so that you can manage application rates precisely.

The huge advantage with this new Multi-Delivery model is the addition of a permanent side delivery conveyor mounted at the front of the bin. This lets you easily switch between broadcasting with the rear twin spinner discs or banding from the front belt – invaluable when you need to deliver high rates of bulky compost or mulch. It’s all easy for the tractor driver to see and control.

The axle can be positioned for optimal headland turning performance and the single wheels eliminate tyre scuffing in tight turns. Twin rear spinners with bi-directional flights are fitted as standard, and the spinner direction of rotation is easily switched to best suit the product you're spreading.

A permanent front-mounted conveyor has a large door for high volume spreading and can be speed controlled for accurate placement

Rear mounted stainless steel spinners are bi-directional to suit the spreading application

The large volume bin holds 2.35 cubic metres of product. It’s manufactured from Grade 304 stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance against all types of fertiliser

The main belt is 780mm wide with moulded cleats to handle all types of high analysis fertilisers and bulky organic products

The drawbar and axle positioning is designed for a tight turning circle in headlands and optimal trailer tracking

Rear banding attachments for the spinners are a great option for band spreading granular fertiliser

Technology
Touchscreen Electronic Rate Control

We combine seamless design and world-class technology into every piece of machinery. All models of the PRO-SERIES and Orchard fertiliser spreader are standard with an electronic rate control with colour graphic touch display. This advanced control is operated from the tractor seat and provides you peace of mind that you can spread every job perfectly.

THIS TECHNOLOGY PROVIDES THE FOLLOWING KEY FEATURES

• Precision and flexibility to vary spreading rates electronically

• Includes touch screen control for the spinner speeds and border spreading

• Optional electronic scales to precisely measure the load and amount spread

• Checks spreading rates

• Provides automatic rate calibration with scales fitted.

MORE CONTROL

For those wanting more advanced control and measurement there are additional upgrade options:

1. GPS functionality to enable coverage mapping of jobs as they are done for proof of placement and add prescription maps through the USB port for variable rate spreading

2. Automatic headland control to switch the belt off in areas that have already been spread with fertiliser

ADVANCED FEATURES INCLUDE

• Monitored functions including rate and belt speed warnings delivered as audible warnings and visual messages

• Transfer your data between the field and your office using a USB port

• Product calibration by name and product, adjusting the spread width and application rate at the touch of a button

• Record all areas mapped including the rate, date and tonnages
