Spreading Cropkare

Cropkare is a coarse powder and therefore requires the expertise of a contractor who is experienced with spreading the product and has the correct equipment to handle the material.
It is recommended to employ a trailed spreader with a moving belt floor system or similar, as this system enables the material to be positively delivered to the discs. The rate can then be regulated simply by altering the height of the door. Due to this arrangement the machines always deliver a known volume regardless of the condition of the material being spread. Such as those found on:
