Tractor-towed fertilizer-spreader - has hopper beneath which is spinning-disc and conveyor consisting of two or more pipes

摘要

A housing encloses the spinning-discs on their discharge sides, and catches the fertilizer thrown from each disc, dividing it into two pipes each, thus covering four rows of plants. The fertilizer passes from the hopper onto the spinning disc which is driven by a mitre-wheel gearing from the power-take-off. Two or more shovel-blades are positioned on the spinning disc. The housing for the conveyor device is situated on the discharge side of the spinning-disc circumference. The housing has two superimposed ducts divided by a partition parallel to the spinning-disc. Each duct opens out into a pipe pointing to either side of the machine.
