| 51 nzdairy NEW SAM e-Spreader The latest innovation from SAMMachinery is the SAM e-Spreader. Any SAM Spreader can be upgraded to an e-Spreader at the time of build. The loor speed is controlled from a screen in your tractor cab. This replaces the manual drive. You can set your rate easily from in your cab and get your spread rate very accurate. The SAM e-Spreader is easy to calibrate and every e-Spreader is load cell ready. Fitting scales is the only way to get true accuracy because you are weighing your product. This technology means the correct application rate is applied regardless of changes in forward speed or changes in product density. It also integrates easily with third party GPS systems such as TracMap. So you can see how many hectares you have done and what you have actually applied. This live data means proof of placement is easy. If you are already using a third party tracking system you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. All Fertiliser Spreaders (narrow belt) or Combo Spreaders (wide belt) can be e-Spreaders. From smaller 4,5 & 6 Tonne SAMs right up to the larger 8 & 9 Tonne models. The SAM controller screen is mounted in your cab. The reliable European hardware is fromGermany coupled with innovative Kiwi software. Setting your spread rate is simple – just key in your spread rate, your product density and spread width. Extra functions such as bulk unloading and border control are included as standard. An automatic back door is an optional extra and replaces the manual winding of the back door jack. Simply key in the above then the back door moves to the appropriate height for you. Also handy for closing your back door when you are driving down the race so you are not losing any product out the back. There is a simple manual override function built in. Whether you are an owner operator or a contractor SAM have you covered. This rounds out the SAM Spreader range with three tiers, the simple manual drives, the new e-Spreaders for added accuracy and the high-end Topcon Spreaders. The Topcon system has a few key advantages over the e-Spreader. It is ISOBUS compatible so can plug directly into your tractor (if compatible). Proof of placement is integrated into the systemwithout relying on third party reporting. It also has some nifty extra features such as dynamic rate control, mapping, light bar and sectional control. This system gives ultimate accuracy and control. Technology for the e-Spreader was developed from R & D created through SAM’s latest horticultural innovation, the SAMOrchard Spreader. “Adding smart, simple tech on top of our tried and true gear gives peace of mind around proof of placement. It’s a natural evolution for SAM” Says Business Manager, Tim Ellingham. Visitwww.sammachinery.co.nz
