The Shelbourne Reynolds range of Powerspread Pro side-discharge manure spreaders is now available with a new weigh scale system, increasing the accuracy of applications.
Developed from the system established on the company’s Powermix diet feeders, the installation on the Powerspread machines consists of three 90mm load cells, with two on the axle and one on the drawbar, each with a maximum 10t load capacity.
These feed data to a scale head which can be mounted either on the spreader or in the tractor cab, while a wireless remote scale is also available for the machine loading the spreader.
More information on the weigh cell option, which is available across the six-model Powerspread Pro range (capacities from 8-14.5m³), will be available at Lamma.
A data transfer system to help users maintain accurate application records for farm record-keeping, and a GPS mapping system to allow variable rate application are also in development.
