Subject: Re: New Leader Spreader


Is there a spread sheet with general recommendations on fan frame setting, spinner speed, ground speed, spread width, etc...? I know you will still need to pan test, just looking for a starting point. I have been operating a 3020 G4 mounted on a terra gator for 3 years now, but I inherited the job and was given instructions by old timers set in their ways.

I have always spread with a 60 ft spread width, fan speed of 600 for fertilizer, and 800 for ag lime. I do change the density in the computer (New Leader DP6) to match the density of the product I am spreading. My acres are always close and the amount of fertilizer I am to apply matches my acres applied.

I do have the option to run VRT (variable rate) and I do use this a little. How does running variable rate affect my settings?

I have read the manuals which helped a little but I am wanting to learn as much as I can about this applicator. I want to do the best job possible. Any recommendations appreciated.
