M2(W) / M3(W) / M6W

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

NORMAL MAINTENANCE

The BOGBALLE machine is manufactured in such a way that it requires a minimum of maintenance. In the construction it is considered that cleaning and lubrication can be completed quickly and thoroughly – without taking apart the machine. The surface treatment consists of a robust powder paint – in addition all essential wear parts and bolt assemblings are made of stainless steel. Many of the components of the machine are greased once and need no extra maintenance, for instance the central and angle gears of the transmission.

The maintenance mentioned below is absolutely necessary!

”If the machine is maintained – it will still be new - in 5 years!”

”If the machine is not maintained – it will be old – next year!”



The machine must always be thoroughly cleaned after use. The cleaning should be done with water perhaps with soap in it. When using a highpressure cleaner only use low pressure and do not clean direct on the axle seals of the transmission.

Do not use grease-removing cleaning liquid – without giving the machine – just after drying – an application of anti corrosion oil.



It is strongly recommended to grease the machine - BEFORE using it first time. Remember always to grease all of the machine in a corrosion protecting liquid (for instance oil). It is not sufficient just to wash the machine.



• Without protection, rust might arise within a few hours in

areas, where the paint has been damaged – because fertiliser salts hold acid and is therefore most corrosive.

Any paint damage should be cleaned and painted. A possibility could also be to treat the damage by Tectyl or a similar product.



Please consider that cleaning products and corrosion protecting liquids might include dissolvents that might dissolve the glue fixing the transfers.

M2(W) / M3(W) / M6W

SPECIAL MAINTENANCE, Friction clutch

 

The transmission of the machine is equipped with friction/overload

clutch.

The friction clutch is a most important component protecting against overload – and a damaged transmission / PTO- shaft.

The friction clutch protects especially the reversible gear system of the Trend transmission. The Trend-system is based on an inpact clutch.



The friction clutch must be maintained, and it must be checked, that it is not corroded.

The friction clutch must ”slip” at START of the tractor PTO. If the clutch does not slip – the transmission will be damaged.



The friction clutch ”slips” approx. 1-2 turns at START of the tractor PTO. This reduces the load on the components of the transmission to approx. 1/10 of the load to which the transmission is exposed, if the coupling is not able to ”slip”.



As principal rule the coupling must be separated and cleaned if the machine has not been used for more than 6 months. Alternatively minimum once a year.



It is always necessary to START the tractor PTO ”slowly / smoothly”!

GUIDANCE ON HOW TO CLEAN THE FRICTION CLUTCH.



Demount the 6 bolts of the clutch – and the clutch is

separated.



Clean all the ”slip sur-

faces” for rust (perhaps with a wire brush) – and reassemble the bolts. If needed replace the clutch plates.

The clutch surfaces should not be greased with oil/grease!



The friction clutch’s bolts are tightened by a torque wrench: The splined axle has to slip at:

60 N/m

180 – 220 N/m

2 coupling plates



Note

If the agitators are overgreased, a high pressure might restrict the rotation of the agitator bearing. If this is the case the lubricator nipple must be demounted, which will release the pressure. Grease sparingly – e.g. one pump/season.

PARTS GREASED ONCE:



The central and angle gears are filled with special grease and needs no lubrication.

GENERAL



A new machine will always ”move” a little bit in all nuts +bolts.

Therefore all nuts and bolts of the machine must be retightened

- first time it is put into operation - after 5 to 8 hours’ operation.

Exception is the bolts in the central and angle gears – these are locked with lock-tite.



Be aware that stainless nuts + bolts might ”weld together” When mounting such bolts – the thread must be greased with cutting lubricant or copper grease !

SPREADING VANES



The spreading vanes are manufactured of high quality manganese

steel, MN12.

(MN 12 has a hardness corresponding to 3 times the hardness of

stainless steel)

. But still the vanes will be worn due to modern and abrasive fertilisers. Therefore the vanes must be considered a wear part – that must be exchanged dependent on the quantity / type of fertiliser.

Always clean contact surfaces of the vanes and the spreading disc for dust etc – before mounting and tightening the vane !

IF HOLES ARE WORN IN THE VANES THEY MUST BE EXCHANGED AT ONCE!

M2(W) / M3(W) / M6W

GUARANTEE / RESPONSIBILITY

• Claim conditions are according to Danish legislation. Service and repair are made free of cost within 12 months from date of purchase on the following conditions:

• That the failure is due to construction or material faults (Normal wear, missing maintenance and misuse not included).

• That the failure is not due to not original components / equipments.

• That persons with no technical knowledge to the machine have not tried to repair.

• Compensation for person or crop injury do not fall on the supplier.

GENERALLY

This machine is intended for spreading all common types of fertiliser. Spreading of other flowing materials might also be possible. If so we draw the attention to data list of the material concerned in order to determine possible safety or health measures to be taken. If the machine is used for spreading material which is not defined in the spread charts for the spreader, the manufacturer of the machine can never be held responsible.

SAFETY and PROTECTION

The transmission system of the machine: PTO shaft, friction clutch and spreading discs w/vanes – must be considered”as dangerous”, and absolute care must be taken with these machine parts, especially in connection with rotation of the tractor PTO system.

DO NOT LEAVE THE TRACTOR CABIN – WITHOUT STOPPING THE PTO

SYSTEM OF THE TRACTOR!

Except when you have to calibrate the machine.

• Never go behind the machine – with rotating spreading discs.

• Never go under the machine – with rotating spreading discs.

• Never clean the machine - with rotating spreading discs.

• Never put hand/object into the hopper – with rotating spreading discs.

• Always check that the spreading vanes are correctly fixed.

• Check that the protection tubes of the PTO are intact.

• Check that the security chain of the PTO is fixed.

• Check that top link and top link pins are intact and secured by lynch pin.

• Check that lift arms and link pins are secured by lynch pin.

M2(W) / M3(W) / M6W

SPREADING SYSTEM

The BOGBALLE spreading system is base on an Integrated Center System – ICS, where the spreading discs of the machine during NORMAL spreading – rotate against each other – and spread in an angle on 180°, with full overlap. The spreading system can with optimum fertilisers manage full overlap, on spread width up to 28 metres.

This means in practice that right and left spreading disc form two opposite spread patterns – overlapping each other.

Each spreading disc spreads the full spreading width. That means that the fertiliser from the two spreading discs A and B – overlap each other. The spread width is with good fertilisers - twice as wide as the distance between the tramlines - up to 28 metres. This way you achieve a 4-double overlap – which ensures a most even distribution of the fertiliser.

As shown in the diagram the spreading is made from the present tramline – to the middle of the next two tramlines.

The spreading system is developed in such a way that you are able to spread the fertiliser with a minimum of machine setting.

This means in practice that you get a uniform distribution – no matter which type of fertiliser and without special settings. The BOGBALLE machine is therefore only equipped with one setting handle – for setting the quantity.

M2(W) / M3(W) / M6W

SETTING SYSTEM

The setting system consists of a scale pointer, different connection rods and outlet shutters.

SETTING POINTER,

Hydraulic / CALIBRATOR.

➊& ➋ The connection rod of the setting pointer must

be mounted / adjusted in such a way, that the shutters of the spreader are closed - when the setting pointer is placed on the scale ciffer ”0”.

(approx. 0,5 mm. opening)

The adjustment is made on the connection rod.

➌ As standard the connection rod is mounted in position

(Ø10 mm.)

In case very large quantities being used on 28 - 42 metres' spread width, a +40% /

-40% connection rod

(Ø12 mm.) can be used as option.

Same connection rod is used for very small quantities (Ø8 mm.).

ADJUSTMENT SHUTTERS

The shutters in the adjustment system are factory set so that the machine distributes the fertiliser symmetrically. That means that the fertiliser is shared in equal quantities to each side of the machine.

The adjustment shutters must be adjusted so that the shutters close exactly in the middle of the V-mark of the bottom plate.

Normally you should not adjust the 4 connection rods connecting the adjustment axle of the machine and the shutters of the machine. These connection rods should only be adjusted in case the system has been dismantled and therefore misadjusted.

The setting is of great importance for the symmetry of the spread pattern.

Be aware that the adjustment shutters do not open equally in comparison to the Vmark. This assymmetric function ensures automatic adjustment of the feed point for precise spreading.

M2(W) / M3(W) / M6W

OUTLET SHUTTERS

The machine’s hopper bottom is equipped with a turnable outlet shutter for right and left side respectively.

The outlet shutter can be locked in three different positions.

0 Closed outlet

(Calibration / rest emptying)

1 Normal outlet

(For fertiliser)

2 Reduced outlet (For micro granules)

”2” .is only used if stated in the contents page of the spread chart.

The outlet shutters are set by pressing the handle (A) against the hopper – and at the same time turn the outlet shutter to the required position. The handle locks the shutter in the U- cut.

FUNCTION

• The Trend sytem gives distribution of fertiliser a totally new dimension, where

PRECISION, USER FRIENDLINESS and RELIABILITY, are the three main areas in which BOGBALLE M() / M()W – differs most essentially from the other products in the market.

• The Trend system is the only transmission in the market with

reversible rotation direction.

The reversible rotation direction gives the optimum result for use of the rotation direction, … towards the centre is most suitable for spreading on the main area on the field, NORMAL spreading – and the reverse rotation direction is most suitable for HEADLAND spreading at field borders.

…..high PRECISION is achieved, no matter which type of

spreading !

U- cut

M2(W) / M3(W) / M6W

• The Trend system ensures an optimum result, with a minimum of setting.

• The transmission of the machine with reversible rotation direction

together with the double function of the spreading vane ensure that the spreader can be transformed from NORMAL spreading to HEADLAND speading – by making only one change.

• The full 180° overlap is the key reason for achieving an optimum NORMAL spread pattern – without other setting of the machine. Therefore neither the length or the angle of the vane must be adjusted. Also no side adjustmnet is necessary.

• The feed point of the machine is automatically shifted in comparison to the quantity of fertiliser spread. This means that the feed point need not be set.

…..high USER FRIENDLINESS is achieved, no matter which spreading!

• The design of the machine ensures maximum flexibility – without

making compromises.

• The slow rotating agitators of the machine prevents ”crushing” of the fertiliser. The agitators are mounted directly on the axles of the spreading discs, which means that the rotation is directly transferred – and not through chains, belts etc. The agitators are not ”driven forcibly” and the excentric movement means that the ”efficiency / function” of the agitator is automatically adapted to the character of the fertiliser, so that you will always have an even quantity – no matter how fastrunning the fertilsier is, no matter how much fertiliser is in the hopper an no matter in which angle the spreader is tilted

(the angle of the spreader in

comparison to horizontal)

• The spreading discs of the machine have a diameter of 600 mm, which ensures together with the shape of the vanes that one and same machine is able to spread from 12 to 42 metres, with quantities from 0,35 to 400 kg/min.

• All the ”key parts” of the machine are made of stainless steel. This includes also the parts that are painted

(for instance the bottom of the hopper).

An exception is the spreading vanes which are for wear resistance made of manganese steel

(MN12).

• All the components of the machine are powder painted – before assembly – and only stainless steel bolts are used.

…..high RELIABILITY, in all circumstances!

In the following you will find a more thorough explanation for the different settings.

PTO- SPEED

When spreading fertilisers with low grain strength (< 2,0

kg), the PTO speed is lowered to 450 rpm.

In such cases the PTO speed will be indicated in the

spread chart for the fertiliser in question.



The machine has however at spread widths lower than 24 metres and when spreading granular fertilisers, so much ”power surplus”, that deviations of ± 5 %

(between 515 and 565 rpm.) will have no serious influence on the spreading result.



REMEMBER !

Consider a ”slow / smooth” START of the tractor PTO - with the tractor

idling!

ALWAYS STOP THE TRACTOR PTO – WHEN CHANGING THE

ROTATION DIRECTION !

Check that the PTO has a correct length in order not to damage the

TILT ANGLE

The machine must be ”tilted” as indicated in the spread chart. The tilt angle is important for the spread width and is – besides the quantity setting – in reality the only setting to be done on the machine.

Setting the tilt angle optimizes of the spread pattern – which means in practice that a minimum variation coefficient (Vk) is achieved.

(See ”Examples of NORMALspread patterns”)

If you doubt, it is better to tilt the machine TOO MUCH – than too little!

In case the fertiliser quantity is changed (± Kg/Ha, for instance with CALIBRATOR or cable control) – it will not influence the spread pattern seriously.



WORKING HEIGHT–STANDARD

Mount the spreader horizontally – or tilted according to the statement in the spread chart in question.

The tilt angle is adjusted on the top link of the tractor and the present angle is seen on the degree meter of the spreader.

+ °

- °

Alternatively: Distance from the upper side of the spreading disc – in horizontal position – to the top of the crop: 75 cm.

Distance from the centre of the upper link pins – to the top of the crop: 73 cm.

Spread chart

The pointer of the degree meter is set to the tilt angle stated in the spread chart. Afterwards the machine is tilted by adjusting the top link of the tractor – until the level of the degree meter is in the centre. The setting is done with the tractor parked on level ground.

It is recommended to check the setting of the degree meter by placing a level on the spinding discs of the machine.

QUANTITY SETTING, Spread chart / Internet: www.bogballe.com

The spread chart for M() is identical to the EX chart. Spread chart for M()(+40%) is identical with EX(2)-chart. (Quantity + 40%).

If case the machine is not equipped with CALIBRATOR, the quantity setting is made on the basis of the instructions in the spread chart.

It must be noted that the spread chart is only a guide, because the quantity spread depends on the exactness of the driving speed and the tramline distance, but also of the quality of the fertiliser in question.

The fertiliser will change character according to temperature, air humidity and often varies with each delivery.

If an exact quantity is required (Kg/Ha), it is recommended to CALIBRATE the machine by use of the BOGBALLE rate check kit.

(See the paragraph ”USE OF RATE

CHECK KIT”)



Refer to the appropriate chart for the material to be spread for the settings required.

The spreading vanes are made in such a way that they are mounted in POS. 1-2, no matter which type of fertiliser is used – and no matter which quantity is spread. This means in practice that the spreading vane should only be ”moved / demounted” in case a calibration or emptying of the hopper is made.

FUNCTION OF SPREADING VANE

The spreading vane is a key part of the machine – for which reason it is ver

important to mount the vanes correctly – and that they are intact.

The Trend system is using both sides of the spreading vanes with: FRONT SIDE for NORMAL- spreading – and in connection with reversing the rotation direction the BACK SIDE is used for HEADLAND- spreading.

NORMALspreading



• The very special shape of the vane ensures that at NORMAL spreading – the fertiliser is following the total vane length – and 180° overlap is

achieved.

HEADLAND spreading



At HEADLAND spreading the fertiliser stream passes through the vane – which reduces the fertiliser speed – therefore the spread width towards headland is reduced – and adapted to the distance between tramlines and border with 110° overlap.



It is very important that the spreading vanes are intact. This means that the vanes should not be deformed and that no ”holes” are worn.

If there is rust/paint on the surface of the vanes – it will influence the spread pattern. The fertiliser will grind away the rust – after spreading 100 – 200 Kg.

The Trend SYSTEM….. will basically:

”Use the rotation direction which is most suitable for NORMAL spreading

……and HEADLAND spreading respectively.”

This means in practice that the system ensures with NORMAL rotation direction, full overlap at NORMAL spreading on the main area of the field ……and a limited spread pattern with single overlap towards the border at headland spreading – with reversed rotation direction.

The spreading can be divided into two systems.

• A system for NORMAL spreading on the NORMAL area of the field.

• A system for HEADLAND spreading along the BORDER of the field.

The HEADLAND- spreading can again be divided into two systems, say:

• HEADLAND spreading TO BORDER – where distance from border to 1st tramline is equal to ½ of the spread width.

• HEADLAND spreading FROM BORDER – where 1

tramline is placed close

to the border.

At the NORMAL spreading the machine is set as stated under the paragraphs:

 PTO-SPEED  TILT ANGLE  WORKING HEIGHT  QUANTITY SETTING  VANE/SPREAD WIDTH

The machine setting is based on spread tests made in BOGBALLE’s test hall. The spreading abilities of the fertiliser in question may vary in comparison to the abilities of the fertiliser which was tested at BOGBALLE – which formed the basis for the spread chart.

The 4-double overlap of the machine, and the ”power suplus” of the spreading system – in such cases gives extra tolerance for achieving a good spreading result – normally without making corrections to the recommended setting.

The only correction that can be made is – change of the TILT-ANGLE of the machine.

Under normal conditions the machine settings recommended in the Operator’s Manual and the Spread Charts of the spreader should not be changed – unless the fertiliser in question is not stated in the spread chart or that the nature/quality deviates from ”what you should expect”! For possible corrections see "PRACTICAL TEST".

PRACTICAL TEST

In case you want to make a practical test in the field, it is possible to place test trays

.

A such test must be carried out very carefully – and the test may if it is not done

correctly – be misleading.

Guidance is found under ”TEST WITH TEST TRAYS”.



Are not sold by BOGBALLE – information can be obtained from your dealer.

The test has the primary purpose – by adjustment of the TILT angle of the machine – to ensure a correct spread width and thus a optimum overlap (see

examples of spread pattern on the following pages).

The 4-double overlap means that no kind of side adjustment is necessary.

As main rule the spread width will: Be increased by approx. +1 metre for + 1° tilt.

Be reduced by approx. - 1 metre for - 1° tilt.

In case you have no test trays available the spread width can be checked by ensuring that fertiliser is spread – as a minimum to the middle of the next tramline.

TEST WITH TEST TRAYS

For a practical test in the field it is possible to use test trays in order to ensure a correct spread width and thus an optimum overlap.

The tray test must be made with great care as wrong placement of the test trays may result in faulty measuring and faulty setting of the machine. BOGBALLE recommends normally only to use test trays in case the fertiliser type spread is not found in the spread chart or in case you are not sure about the quality of the fertiliser.

On the Internet you will find the latest spread charts updates on our home page:

www.bogballe.com

Included with the test trays you will find a description how to use them. Below you will find a short description with an example of an 18 metres system where 7 test trays are used and where the result is measured by means of 7 measuring tubes:

• Place the test trays in an even line across the driving direction.

• It is essential that the trays are placed HORIZONTALLY. (Use level).

For each 3 metres spread width – the distance between the single trays is increased by 0,5 metre.

• Start spreading minimum 10 metres before the row of trays.

• Stop spreading minimum 35 metres after the row of trays.

• Spread in 3 tramlines.

• Empty contents of each tray

down in each a measuring tube and see the result.

Spread width

Tray distance

M2(W) / M3(W) / M6W

The contents of the test trays will indicate the distribution in the field.

 The optimum setting is achieved – and a good variation coefficient is achieved.

 The setting of the spreader gives an insufficient overlap. Insufficient overlap

means that an inadequate quantity is spread between the tramlines – and the tilt angle of the machine must be adjusted in steps of +2°. Repeat the test.

 The setting of the spreader gives a too large overlap. This means that a too

large quantity is given between the tramlines – and the tilt angle of the machine must be adjusted in steps of -2°. Repeat the test.

Because the test tray system is not able to assemble all of the spread quantity – because some grains will ”jump” out of the trays – you will have fluctuations of 1015% (See example

)

The test has as purpose to show a tendency in direction of:

Too SMALL overlap: TILT-angle is increased +2°, until tendency is

Too LARGE overlap: TILT-angle is decreased -2°, until tendency is

FOR THE SAKE OF GOOD ORDER…it is recommended to check as follows:

• Is the PTO speed correct?

• Is the distance between the tramlines correct?

• Is the spreading vanes mounted / set correctly?

• Are the spreading vanes intact?

• Is it a spread width or a fertiliser type, for which another vane type is necessary?

• Is the height of the spreader over the crop correct?

• Are the test trays correctly placed?

Example of the result if the test trays are not placed correctly.

misplacement makes a large difference of amount collected in the trays!

Spread width : 18 metres Quantity : 250 Kg/Ha

Test with test trays

OPTIMUM spread pattern TILT ANGLE: +3°

Tendency Optimum overlap

From the tramline in which you drive the spread pattern forms a ”TRIANGLE”, ensuring a correct overlap. The fertiliser in this example is as a minimum spread to next tramline – often wider.

The variation coefficient (Vk) is an expression of the ”quality” of the spread pattern. In this example the VK is of optimum size at 18 metres – with a Vk of 2,9 %

The variation coefficient indicates the ability of the spreader to distribute the fertiliser evenly over the field. If the spread width is either too large

(large overlap), or

too small (small overlap) – it will influence negatively the Vk and thus the fertiliser distribution.

One of the big BOGBALLE strengths is that the 4-double overlap of the machine ensures a good flexibility – say a minimum Vk – over a very very large spectrum.

(In this example from 6 to 21 metres).

This means in practice that the machine is able to absorb deviations in the distance of tramlines, deviations in PTO speed and to a certain degree – deviations from tilt angle, without influencing the distribution of the fertiliser (Vk).

As main rule the below scale is used internationally as evaluation basis:

Vk < 5 % Very good Vk > 5 % < 10 % Good Vk > 10 % < 15 % Acceptable Vk > 15% < 20% Not acceptable

>20 might be visible in the crop

 The PTO speed is reduced in order to limit the spread width.

There is a direct connection between the PTO speed and the HEADLAND spread width.

The higher PTO speed – the wider HEADLAND spread width.

This means in practice that it is possible to ”choose” the required HEADLAND spread width – depending on the wish of spreading FULL quantity TO BORDER, or if a REDUCED quantity TO BORDER is required.

(See examples

of HEADLAND spread patterns , og ).

 The quantity is reduced either by reducing the outlet (setting system) or by

increasing the forward speed. The quantity is changed in comparison to the PTO speed.

The HEADLAND pattern FROM BORDER will only to a limited degree

Examples of HEADLAND spread pattern, FROM BORDER.

The HEADLAND spreading system FROM BORDER, is developed for spread widths from 12 – 28 metres. In case spread widths larger than 28 metres are required – it will not be suitable to use this system – the system TO BORDER must be used.

The HEADLAND spreading system FROM BORDER, is developed so that the PTO– speed is reduced in comparison to the spread width.

• The ”power surplus” of the spreader means that the spread pattern overlaps the tramlines closest to the tramline in which the spreading is made. This means that fertiliser from 2

tramline will be thrown outside the border –

unless the PTO speed is reduced in 2

tramline. The reduction

corresponds to the PTO- speed FROM BORDER (See chart).

From the pattern it must be considered that the full quantity is not spread absolutely out to the border but that the fertiliser quantity is increasing from 0% in border and up to 100% approx. 0,5 – 1 metre into the field. This depends on how close the tractor is driven to the border.

The closer to the border – the closer the full rate to border.

HEADLAND, FROM BORDER

M2(W) / M3(W) / M6W



The HEADLAND spreading system, FROM BORDER, is developed for considering the environment as much as possible – and considering at the same time the demands for optimum yield.

• Please consider that the distance between the tramlines must be equal to the spread width.

• If first tramline is placed 1 metre from border – the distance from border to next tramline must be equal to the spread width + 1 metre.

See the above pattern: First tramline = 1 metre from border. Second tramline = (18 + 1) = 19 metres from border.

REDUCED SPREAD WIDTH

In case it is necessary to reduce the spread width, for instance when spreading on a narrower final bout in the field, or in connection with non rectangular parts in the field – the spread width can be limited by either tilting the spreader negatively or by reducing the PTO- rpms.

REDUCED PTO- speed:

• When reducing by 75 rpm. the NORMAL spread width is reduced by 2 metres.

• At the same time the quantity must be reduced to the relation between the

NORMAL spread widht and the REDUCED spread width.

• The reduction of quantity can be adjusted by increasing the driving speed respectively, if this is easier.

Example:

REDUCED TILT- angle:

• If the tractor is equipped with hydraulic top link a reduction of the tilt-angle of

-2° will reduce the NORMAL spread width with 2 metres.

• At the same time the quantity must be reduced according to the above instruction.

TURNINGS AT THE HEADLANDS

When turning at the headlands, the below OPEN / CLOSE instructions should be followed.

• If the instructions are followed the result will be full overlap to the end of the field and no fertiliser is spread outside the field.

• The OPEN / CLOSE distance from TRAMLINE depends on the spread

width.

Please note that the OPEN / CLOSE distance for the NORMAL spreading, are not identical in connection with HEADLAND spreading TO BORDER and FROM BORDER resp.

SPREADING ON NON RECTANGULAR FIELDS

When spreading in non rectangular fields, it is often the opinion that one side of the maschine should be closed in order to achieve a good result. Closing one side of the machine results in sharp overlaps in the areas where the closing is done. Spreaders where the spreading discs are rotating towards eachother ensures ”soft overlaps” when spreading in non rectangular areas of the field – and one side of the machine should not be closed.

• At first the HEADLAND spreading is made.

• Afterwards you spread in normal way – in the tramlines. (See sketch)

• The OPEN / CLOSE time depends on the angle of the field and OPENING /

CLOSING must be done in comparison to the spread width.

Opening and closing of the spreader outlets is made as shown on the sketch.

It may be necessary in narrow angled areas to spread with REDUCED SPREAD WIDTH.

CHECKS OF TRACTOR – before use



It is important that the lift arms of the tractor are set horizontally.

If this is not the case the spreader will ”tilt” and the fertiliser will not spread equally to both sides of the spreader. Result: Asymmetric spread pattern.



The spread width depends on the rotation speed of the spreading

discs. Therefore the PTO- rotations should be kept constant at 540 rpm.There are often differences in the tractor meter. Therefore make it a rule to check the rotation speed of the PTO from time to time.



The quantity in [Kg/Ha] is directly dependant on the forward speed.

Therefore the speed [Km/h] must be kept constant. There are often differences in the tractor meter. Therefore make it a rule to check the driving speed from time to time.

CHECK OF SPREADER- before use.



The adjustment and closing shutters must be easy to move. Never

use force. If the system is not easy to move – the reason is often lack of lubrication of the moving part of the setting system.



The spreading discs must turn easily when the PTO is not mounted.

• Agitators must turn easily.

• Turnable outlet must be easy to turn.

• Regulating outlets must be easy to turn.

• The speading vanes must be intact and correctly fixed.

The PTO shaft must be of correct length, with suitable overlap

of the axle ends (min. 50 mm.). If the overlap is too long or too short it will result in a serious damage of the transmission axle.

• DO NOT lift the spreader higher than working height.



If the shaft is not of correct length –

and if the transmission is damaged, it will clearly appear from ”press marks ” on the splined axle.

A such damage is of course not under warranty.



•





In case the spreader ”leaks” fertiliser – when the outlets are closed – this is due to the distance between tighteneing part  and hopper bottom being more than 0,5 mm. Loosen the tightening part and press towards hopper bottom so that the distance is 0,5 mm.

M2(W) / M3(W) / M6W

PRACTICAL HINTS

• Prevent ”packing” the fertiliser by driving over long distances on uneven ground with a full hopper. If the fertiliser is “packing” in the bottom of the hopper it might mean damage to the agitator of the machine.

• The spreading discs should not rotate for long periods when the shutters are closed. The fertiliser will pack and thus cause squeezing between shutter and agitator. The ”fingers” of the agitator might be damaged and in worst case ”break”.

• When spreading ”dusty” fertiliser, it is necessary to regularly clean the base of each side of the hopper to prevent build up of fine material which could pack thus causing squeezing between shutter and agitator. The ”fingers” of the agitator might be damaged and in worst case ”break”.

• The machine should not be used without cone (over the agitator).

• Do not fill fertiliser into a wet hopper. The humidity will make it difficult for the

fertiliser to fall down and thus reduce the quantity. Take care particularly when calibrating manually. If the hopper is wet (water or oil), more calibration tests must be made before having a correct calibration quantity.

• Be aware that in the transmission, there is a gearing of 1:1,39. The number of PTO- rotations is therefore not corresponding to the number of rotations on the spreading discs.

• PTO = 540 rpm.

• Spreading discs = 750 rpm.

• When driving in wet field and at high speed, mud, stones or may be water may

be thrown up into the hopper from the rear wheels of the tractor. In such cases it is recommended to use the BOGBALLE hopper cover.

• When driving in wet field and at high speed, mud, stones or similar might be thrown up into the spreading system. That means collision with the spreading vanes – which means again defect / bended vanes. In such cases it is recommended to use BOGBALLE mud guards.

MOUNTING OF OPTIONAL EQUIPMENTS

Mounting and operation instructions are included with the options from the factory. Ask the dealer to let you have the instructions – after mounting.

It is strongly recommended to grease all of the machine in oil

or a similar corrosion protection liquid – BEFORE the

machine is used first time.

This way the assemblings of the machine and also the areas, in which

there is later not sufficiant cleaning, are corrosion protected.

Repeat greasing each time the machine was cleaned.

M()W – special

BOGBALLE M()W ……….the ultimative solution!

The M2W and M3W machine is respectively equipped with one and two parallel mounted 6 tons stainless load cells, which makes it possible together with CALIBRATOR – to have complete control during the field work.

The weighing system is so constructed that the parallel mounted hopper and spreading system is carried through 2 blade springs and 2 bearings.

• The parallel construction ensures that the weight is always correct and stable – no matter where in the hopper the load is placed. This way a maximum precision is ensured independent of load circumstances.

• The parallel construction ensures moreover that the precision in the weighing result ist within ± 1%, even in case it goes uphill or downhill with gradients of 7-8% (6°-7°).

M2W has a capacity of max. 2.500 kg, and the max. capacity of the M3W machine is 4.000 kg. Example

(M3W):Together with the weight of the machine it makes a total load of approx. 4.750 kg. In case the

ground is very uneven it means that the weighing system is up against loads of 2 x the total load – say 2 x 4.750 kg = 9.500 kg.

The M()W machine will ”settle” after spreading 5 – 10 tonnes of fertiliser. This means that the 0- point can be moved. Is this the case make a

calibration / 0-setting of the

system.

(See Operator’s Manual for the CALIBRATOR)

The blade springs must always be horizontal in comparison to the chassis tube. If this is not the case – adjust the system by the

adjustment bolt.

After adjustment the system must always be calibrated.

The bearing should not be washed directly with water – and special care must be taken when cleaning the load

cell.

Possible defects due to water, are not under warranty.

How to use the quadro calibration system

BOGBALLE M-line is as standard equipped with the quadro calibration system which is used for adjusting the spreader’s quantity and for rest emptying (see the enclosed quadro folder).

The system is used for stationary calibration in order to precisely adjust the spreader according to the fertiliser’s condition - as the temperature, air humidity and other climate conditions might influence on the fertiliser flow.

Please notice that the fertiliser’s condition can vary from each delivery. It’s advised to carry out a new calibration for each delivery.

If the hopper is moist on the inside the moisture will prevent the fertiliser from gliding. In these cases it’s advised to carry out a minimum of three calibrations – the last calibration value being the one that counts.

PROCEDURE:

(We also refer to the quadro folder which illustrates the practical usage)

1. The scale stop is fixed at 4,5 on the spreader’s scale

2. Let the PTO-shaft rotate at 200-250 rpm.

(The spreader’s flow is constant with PTO rotations between 200-540 rpm.)

3. A calibration test is performed for exactly 30 sec.

(The spreader’s outlet is opened for 30 sec.).

4. The calibration value is weighed

5. The fertiliser’s Flow Factor is calculated cf. the below formula:

Quantity [Kg/Ha] x Spread width [M] x Speed [Km/h]

Calibration value [Kg/

30 sec.

]

6. In the Flow Factor list on the next page you can find the Flow Factor closest to the calculated Flow Factor – read off the scale figure or use the Flow Factor directly and adjust the spreader’s scale.
