In order for the soil to be fertile and to bring a rich harvest, it must be fed. The most useful fertilizer is solid organic matter - compost, manure, peat, etc. However, for introducing solid organic matter into the soil, on large areas of land, a special spreading device cannot be dispensed with. To solve this problem, you can buy a fertilizer spreader. It is also called - Manure spreader of organic fertilizers PRT-12, because of its use for the purpose of transporting and spreading manure.
The unit is a towed mechanism, and it is driven by the engine of the tractor to which it is attached. Agricultural machinery capable of operating a spreader of mineral fertilizers can be different, starting from tractors of the 70s and ending with machines of the latest generations.
Possibilities of trailed spreader
Despite the fact that the PRT-12 organic fertilizer spreader is able to interact with large machinery, the tractor must still have a certain power. If you buy a fertilizer spreader, you will need a tractor with a minimum traction force of 1.4 for it. The T-150 and K-700 tractors are considered the most suitable vehicles for using the spreader.
The trailer is capable of spreading loose materials up to 8 m wide. When fully loaded, the carriage is emptied after 4-8 km, depending on the speed of the unloading shaft, which can vary. The speed of movement, with the surface application of fertilizer to the soil, is from 10 to 30 km / h. In this mode, the spreader of mineral fertilizers is able to enrich the soil with 20 - 60 tons of solid fertilizers.
Also, the fertilizer spreader is useful for transporting other agricultural loose and bulk materials:
silage, husks, chernozem, etc.

How does the unit work?
The body mechanism consists of two parts - a tipper (secondary) and the main one. For uniform distribution of consistency on the surface, the spreader of organic fertilizers feeds the mass from the secondary compartment to the main one. Feeding is carried out by tipping the dumper part towards the main one, on which the feeding blades are located. Fertilizer under its own weight tends towards the main compartment, where the blades on the chain drive move the mass towards the spreading drum.
Both the chain with the blades and the spreading device are driven by the GDP, which is fed from the tractor. Thus, the fertilizer spreader performs its function. It is worth noting that the speed of rotation of the auger is regulated by changing the gear, from a larger one to a smaller one or vice versa.
Spreaders (Manure spreaders) PRT, ROU, MVU, RMM, RMD and other spreaders of organic and mineral fertilizers. In addition, the available brake system and locking of the front swivel wheels of the trailer add convenience. Fixing the front pair of the chassis allows you to reverse more accurately, so even a novice tractor driver will be able to cope with this technique.
Characteristics
In order to buy a fertilizer spreader, you need to know its characteristics. This will allow you to calculate the productivity and payback of the unit. A manure spreader of 3.7 tons prevails, while its loading can reach up to 11 tons. However, the body volume of 8.5 m3 makes it possible to load a little more than the calculated
weight, which affects the wear of parts. Therefore, loading above the sides is not recommended.
To keep the organic fertilizer spreader in an environment closed from weather conditions, you need a spacious garage, because the size of the trailer is 2.7 m in height, 2.5 m in width and 7.1 m in length. And only 1 person can service the fertilizer spreader.
