Use Table 4
8
to determine the approximate amount of material to be spread in lbs./acre at a 46 foot
spreading width and put the lever into that position on the sliding scale.
Example: With the lever in position 5, a ground speed of 5 mph, spreading at 46 ft., the output should
be approximately 246 lbs. per acre.
3.07 - Uneven Terrain
WARNING: Be careful of roll-over when operating tractor and spreader over uneven ground.
The following precautions should always be observed when working on uneven terrain:
1. In extremely uneven terrain rear wheel weights, front tractor weights, and/or tire ballast should be
used to improve stability.
2. Observe the type of terrain and develop a safe working pattern.
3. Whenever traction or stability is doubtful, first test drive over the terrain.
4. Operate the implement up and down steep slopes, not across slopes, to prevent the tractor from
tipping. Avoid sudden stops and starts, and slow down before changing directions on a slope.
5. Pass diagonally through sharp dips and avoid sharp drops to prevent hanging up the tractor and
implement.
6. Slow down on sharp turns and slopes to prevent tipping or loss of control.
7. Watch for holes, roots or other hidden objects. Do not use near the edge of a gully, ditch or stream
bank.

Moving the wings in a clockwise
position will obtain more of a

Moving the wings in a counter-
clockwise position will obtain
more of a right spread pattern.
