High-spec spreaders offer accurate rate control

Investment in Bunning spreaders allows contracting business to grow considerably.

Adamson Contractors has always had a keen eye on applying organic manures accurately. This attention to detail, along with investment in Bunning’s Lowlander HBD spreaders, has seen the business grow considerably.

The spreader fleet owned by the contracting company consists of five Bunning Lowlander HBD HD 175 machines and part of the reason for choosing Bunning was the consistent application to 24m.

The dynamically balanced horizontal beaters feature Boron shredding cutters to break down bulky material to an even consistency. The 1.1m diameter spinning discs have five adjustable blade positions to alter spreading width and apply product evenly. This allows precise and consistent application for a wide range of products.

All models have weigh cell application via Isobus control for easy setting changes and clear displays of machine readouts. Rate control is adjusted via the screen and the spreader automatically matches the floor speed to achieve the required rate.

Variable rate application via prescription maps – a feature on the Bunning Lowlander spreaders – is being requested by more farmers and growers to improve soil health and maximise manures.

Accurate tonnages from each load can be recorded, which is crucial to comply with legislation, but a further benefit is that it also allows detailed job reports to be sent to customers following works.

Keeping five spreaders busy throughout the year is a tall order, but multiple reliable machines keep customers happy and guarantee application accuracy across the fleet, explains Adamson Contractors.
