Description
In Brand new condition selling due to sale of property,
Retail $48,000,
Make/model: Vicon rotary flow RO-EDW Geospread,
Capacity: 3,900 litres,
Empty weight: 795kg,
Maximum gross weight: 3.9 tonnes,
Spread width: 36 meters,
ISOBUS variable rate control,
Hydraulic drive,
Weight sensors with G-force stabiliser sensors,
Vicon’s rotary flow system has internal agitators that start the granules spinning before they get flicked out on their carefully calculated trajectories. This reduces crushing of the feed-stock which means less dust and better coverage.
Dual rotating dosing units run at between 540 and 950 rpm and have eight horizontal vanes that accelerate the medium being spread, which is key to getting ultra-accurate coverage.
There are two electric actuating arms on each dosing unit: one controls flow to the discharge point of the dosing cup onto the disc, the other controls the application rate. The Geospread makes it possible to adjust the discharge point individually for both discs from the tractor’s cab, but at less than 70kg/minute, two of the three apertures close.
Vicon doesn’t use hydraulic power to adjust disc speed, instead changing the point and timing when fertiliser enters and leaves the spreading vane with the actuators.
There are no real losers when the Geospread comes out to play. The land gets exactly what the agronomist ordered, with no costly and potentially dangerous overdosing.
The land-owner gets a reduced consumption of whatever is being spread. There’s less chance of surplus product running off into waterways or dams, and eventually, the crop or harvest should reflect this attention with a higher yield.
Because the Geospread has only been available since the end of 2012 in Europe, and an even shorter period in Australia and New Zealand, there’s no real data for long-term cost of maintenance.
Users in traditionally damp and aggressive climates, however, report that with basic care (an after-use hose-down and decent greasing of moving parts) they expect a very long service life.
Stainless steel is used wherever practicable, and the paintwork is so thick it looks like powder-coating.
