As the price of fertilizer continues to rise there is an increased need for alternatives, specifically regarding organic alternatives. With the relative availability of organic matter there is a definite need for a high capacity, affordable yet reliable manure spreader, capable of handling larger loads and effectively spread various types of organic matter.
Our FALCON 2.0 range of manure spreaders are specifically designed to fulfil these requirements and is ideal for mid-to-large farming operations. This is a multi-purpose spreader capable of spreading wet, dry as well as processed manure and is equipped with a 2m wide vertical 2-rotor spreading adapter as standard. It is also used for organic fertilizer as well as manure with a proportion of straw and semiliquid fractions. Sizes range from 6-14ton capacity. Spreading width varies by the type of organic matter but numerous tests have shown that a width of 8-14m can easily be achieved.
A specially designed spring suspension hitch reduces the dynamic loads on the drawbar eye while in operation as well as improved driving comfort during spreading. The structural design also provides a lower loading level of the implement.
All models of the FALCON series manure spreader feature single-axle chassis for improved maneuverability, higher tractor rear downforce and good traction, lower power demand (10-20% less than with tandem suspension) and an option of wider tyres if required.
Each manure spreader features a chain floor conveyor. The speed of the floor conveyor is controlled by operating a knob on the hydraulic flow control valve.
A hydraulic vertical sliding tailgate can control the application rate of loose material fed to the spreading adapter in operation. However, if spreading most types of manure it is recommended that the sliding tailgate be completely open in order to promote material flow.
