Strautmann PS2401 spreader with dynamic weighing: Muck and precision

We all know the drill — ag policy is demanding farmers use less artificial fertiliser, and, if that wasn’t enough ‘encouragement’, the current high prices will see many apply less ‘bag muck’ this season, anyway. For those with access to manure, compost or digestate solids, this could help bridge the crop nutrient void. However, all three of these organic materials can vary in density, even within the same load, making application less precise.

Altering the floor bed speed in relation to the ground speed will work, but this only alters the volume and not the weight of the manure, nor its density, meaning the nutrients are
