    Dad used to sing one man went to mow a meadow when putting the small seeds on with a fiddle drill.

    Good video. I got urea out back in Feb. fields are starting to green up. Did something go wrong with the spreader judging by your Snapchat story?

    • @Cotlandfarmer

      Yeah you will find out next week. 😉

    What did you think of Moto GP great to see Marc not holding back

    • @Cotlandfarmer
      @Cotlandfarmer  6 лет назад

      One thing that is a certainty is that Marc will always have a go! Great to see dovi fight straight back and get the win. Going to be at least a three way battle for the title this year with Marc, dovi and rossi.

    Good vid. Thanks...But...lol. where does the 360 come from in the speed calculation and where does the 7.5 come from for the application? Sorry a bit numb....

    • @Cotlandfarmer
      @Cotlandfarmer  5 лет назад

      In all honesty I'm not sure where the 360 is from🤷‍♂️ the 7.5 is 2.475 acres in a hectare. 👍

    Why don't you use the suggested setting as a guide and then check the calibration by weighing out one side of the spreader over 30 secs?
    12.88km at 24m will mean you are spreading 309,120 square meters or 30.9 hectares an hour. So 0.515 hectares a min or 0.2575 in 30 secs. That means just over 64kg should come out of your spreader in 30secs, so should weigh out 32.19kg out of one side (which probably won't fit in a bucket), so 16.1 out of half the spinner in 15 secs. You will be much closer than .8 of a hectare, which is 200kg.
    I never find the Amazone setting are any more use than just a starting point.

      Thanks for that but is now irrelevant, you'll see why next week, or have a look at my instagram. 😉

      You are right, it is an irrelevant. Your new spreader looks fancy nice

      Cotlandfarmer Is it VR? Or do you just blanket rate everything?

    • @Cotlandfarmer
      @Cotlandfarmer  6 лет назад

      JJ Macleod I just blanket everything. The whole farm was analysed last autumn so this year, I some fields will only get straight nitrogen, others will have one or two applications of "P" and "K".

    How come you didn’t just use the tractor speedo?

    • @Cotlandfarmer
      @Cotlandfarmer  6 лет назад +1

      It always pay to double check. Tyre wear and pressure can alter the calibration of the tractor speedo.

    • @edthomas9575
      @edthomas9575 6 лет назад

      Cotlandfarmer aye I suppose! Ive always found the Massey Speedo to be a bit out as well, always seem to go faster than they say they are going 😂
