Things To Consider While Buying A Variable Rate Fertilizer Spreader

By Martha Bell


Some simple farm routines may be quite a hard task when the farm gets bigger or the plants get taller. The lager farms and the tall crops call for different approaches of applying any herbicides or any other farm chemicals. The efficient way that renders the whole work become easy is use of machines to apply these chemicals. This is done by use of spreaders. Below are several factors to consider when buying a variable rate fertilizer spreader.

When planning to acquire expensive farm equipment, the cost of the item is a major factor to consider. This is owing to the fact that not most farmers can afford to buy the equipment at a go, but rather take loans. Therefore, it is important to check prices before taking the bids.

Volume is also an important factor to consider while buying the spreader. This factor is dependent of the farmers need and the farm size. However it is advised that one takes the bigger than required spreader which can be a great save of money when the needs of the farm or the farmer grow.

The spreaders are usually independent machines. They come fitted with everything required and they just need to be hooked up. There are also some spreaders that come fitted in trucks that are more advisable for those without tractor and or trucks. These spreader trucks are more convenient if one is considering for the commercialization of the service.

The spreader should also be durable for it to stay long to serve the purpose. They should be made on no corrosive materials such as stainless steel that is not easily corroded. The boom should also be made of stainless steel for the same reasons as the tank. The tank should also be made of a strong material that can support chemicals in either liquid or powder form at high pressure that is used to spread the chemicals.

The booms are the arms that are spread of hydraulics or any other mechanisms for the purpose of chemical application. The booms length determine the amount of area covered in one pass during the chemicals or fertilizer application. The bigger the booms the bigger the area covered and the faster the job is done. One is advised to get the spreader with long but also adjustable booms to suit any situation such different crop spacing and obstructions on the farms.

The spreaders should be easy to operate. This is to make it easy for anyone to use it. This also allows almost everyone to be able to use the machine without any prior knowledge. This is because in the farm, not many of all the operators are skilled laborers. It also saves a lot of time since it is easy to start, adjusting the sprayers and even cleaning after the work.

A variable spread should also have precise metering system for more controlled discharge on the booms to the crop. These systems also allow the spread to be used in the applications of many other farm chemicals on the crops since each chemical has its own quantity required.
