System for broadcast spreading of a material in wind conditions

摘要

A work machine (10) includes a spreader (20) configured for broadcast spreading of a material from the work machine (10); an input device (24) configured to provide wind condition data; a GPS receiver (18) configured to determine an orientation of the work machine (10); and a controller (22) coupled to the spreader (20), the input device (24) and the GPS receiver (18). The controller (22) is configured to execute program instructions to control the broadcast of the material from the work machine (10) based on the wind condition data from the input device and based on the orientation of the work machine (10).
