. Seeders / Spreaders SuperFlow Pendulum Spreaders More than one million machines sold prove that the Vicon pendulum seeders / spreaders are the first choice wherever the demand is for maximum accuracy in fertiliser application. Spreading quality and ease of operation of these unique machines are unequalled - now as in the past.

The pendulum movement of the spout ensures that the application rate is always identical on both sides. This results in an excellent overlap. RotaFlow RO Series Disc Spreaders The name RotaFlow describes the Vicon spreading system; the fertiliser granules are already rotating when they reach the spreading vanes. This initial smooth acceleration of the fertiliser prevents fragmentation of the granules due to impact with the vanes.

The adjustable discharge point allows adaptation of settings of the physical fertiliser properties. Due to the gentle handling of the fertiliser the spreading characteristics of the product are maintained. The RotaFlow spreading system is designed for the optimal spreading result.

Vicon Spreader Calibration

Having been brought up for 20 years on a Vicon vari-spreader, the last 5 years I have succumbed to the hype and had a couple of disc types. I am however considering going back to a Vicon. I know where there is a mint one going cheap.

Vicon Vari Spreader Parts Diagram

I am fed up with having to adjust vanes for every different type of fert, change the vanes for the headland, having to shovel across the fert to even up as you empty the hopper and spray the spreader wth diesel every time I wash it off. Are wagtails so inaccurate? I don't recall striping anything 20 yrs ago.

It is far too windy to spread at 24m so I only spread at 12m. Anyone ever compared the two? Anyone ever checked the spread pattern of a wagtail with trays?

It is far too windy to spread at 24m so I only spread at 12m. Anyone ever compared the two? Anyone ever checked the spread pattern of a wagtail with trays? ThanksI don't think that they ever had accuracy issues unless the spout or it's end piece had been damaged, but they have fallen out of fashion where the farm insists on being able to cover 50 acres an hour. I thought you used a bucket and cup!

I use a bucket and cup, wagtail or spinner. Whichever suits the job best. If top dressing spring cabbage, you can't use a machine because the fertiliser scorches the leaves. That is done with a bucket and cup, we grow 40 acres of cabbage. Fertiliser that goes on before planting is done with the spinner.

The spinner will not fit up the orchards so that is done with the wagtail. Raspberries have narrow rows and wide paths. If fert is cheap-ish it is done with the wagtail, if it is expensive it is done with a bucket and cup so none gets wasted. Not been cheap enough to do them with the wagtail for a while.

If fert is cheap-ish it is done with the wagtail, if it is expensive it is done with a bucket and cup so none gets wasted. Not been cheap enough to do them with the wagtail for a while I once worked for a farm that grew nearly 200 acres of cabbage. The top dressing was done by a 135 with a box on the back, wider than three rows, with six downpipes which placed the fertiliser close to both sides of the stems in each row. The spreader was driven by the rear wheel of the 135 where a crank was fitted and a pitman arm from that back to the spreader. I drove it for a while and, for my sins, while driving it home one afternoon I passed by a 5000 parked just off the road, just a bit too close, and the crank ripped a big hole in the read tyre of the 5000. The Varispreader is much loved by dealers because it ensures that the parts department remains busy supplying bearings, turnbuckles, gas-rams, spouts and bands. They are much loved by farmers only because they are virtually idiot-proof when it comes to setting.

I've had various twin discs since my last varispreader and have no issues with setting it for 18m with all fertilisers and at all sensible speeds. I've never been and bought one that needed vanes adjusting or reversed or whatever though. Have no issue whatsoever with emptying one side more than the other even though my farm is very rolly-polly and steep. It is only an issue on the last load of the day and emptied by turning around and going back along the same track for a few yards to complete the pattern.

Certainly NEVER have had to shovel from one side to another. A farm in Kent that I once worked on had a similar setup.

There's was mounted on a David Brown row crop tractor. I thought it a wonderful machine compared to a bucket and cup. Worked there for twelve months and only wore my wet gear once, not like the winters we get up here. You wouldn't drive a tractor on our land at top dressing time. Tbh it's not that bad a job, especially with a few of you at it.The farm I was working was in East Lothian. Mostly winter white but with maybe 50 acres of spring greens.

Had variable experiences with them. We had problems keeping the bearing in the adjuster working and the ones on the end of the yokes, easily changed though. New bands on the end of the spout, and the adjustable handle on the manual ones was a grand tool for going through the back window.

With the hydraulic ones you need to be careful, seen the gas accumulator push the adjuster through the casing on a very hot day. Neighbour has recently bought a new one or a copy and gets on fine. Good for grass seeds. I once worked for a farm that grew nearly 200 acres of cabbage.

Sounds like a Taskers - we had one of those before our first steel hoppered Vicon. Later we had a Trailed 30cwt model which I filled with the Fyson elevator & 50 kg bags. Used it behind a DB 780 and could spread 12 tonnes of 25-0-16 after 1st cut on 25 litres of diesel using a dye marker to see where I was going.
