Service Tip of the Month: Spread Pattern Testing Tips With the fall spreading season right around the corner, now is a perfect time to check your spread pattern! Spread pattern testing your machine should be performed prior to each season, before using a new product, if a significant visible change has occurred with a product already being spread, or when any repairs have been done to the spreader. Testing will define granular characteristics and help determine proper spinner settings for optimal product spread width. Below are a few things to keep in mind when it comes to the material being spread: A small product with low crush strength will have limited spread width capabilities. Spinner RPM must remain lower to keep from pulverizing the soft product, limiting your overall spread width. Additionally, a smaller product has less mass than that of a larger product, and in this case is another limiting factor for overall spread width. A small product with high crush strength will have limited spread width capabilities. While spinner RPM can be increased with little worry of pulverizing the product, a smaller product has less mass than that of a larger product, which limits how far the product will carry in the spread pattern. A large product with low crush strength will have limited spread width capabilities. While a larger product with more mass will carry farther, spinner RPM must remain lower to keep from pulverizing the soft product, limiting the overall spread width. A large product with high crush strength has minimal spread width limitations. Spinner RPM can be increased with little worry of pulverizing the product. Additionally, a large product has more mass than that of a smaller product, allowing the product to carry farther, resulting in a wider spread width. Refer to our Spread Pattern Manual and Data Sheet for complete details, starting points, and pattern troubleshooting tips.
