It is not possible to have an exact spreading chart for equipments that make use of the centrifugal
principle, given that the distributed quantity depends on the feed speed, on the radius of distribution,
on the quality and humidity of the fertilizer and on the roughness of the land.
The fertilizer must always be stored and conserved adequately, so as to keep its physical characteristics
unchanged.
It is necessary to set the speed of the centrifugal spreader, before starting the operation of distribution,
trying, in the possible limits, to keep it constant for all its duration.
The spreading charts contain the indicative information
in the fi eld; these must be completed by the experience and competence of the operator.

In order to assure an homogenous distribution on both sides of the centrifugal spreader, depending
on the different specifi c weight of the used fertilizer, the distributor vanes on the disc can have
different positions.
When all the vanes are put in hole 1 1 (as shown in the picture), the distribution of the product is
increased towards left, compared to the way of the tractor moving. On the contrary, if the vanes are
put in hole 4 4 , the distribution will be bigger towards right.
Moreover, moving the vanes from position 1 1 to position 4 4 , at the same speed, there will be an increase
of the distributing width of fertilizer distribution.
This regulation must be made compared to the type of used fertilizer and to the experience of the
operator.
