With Agritechnica just around the corner, it’s no surprise to see manufacturers drip-feed some information of new products worth a closer look.

One of those is Kverneland, with a showing of its new Alentix twin-disc fertiliser spreaders, which feature the new RapidRate dosing system.

Located centrally on the machine, over the redesigned RotaFlow 100 spreading system, the patented rectangular system is designed to ensure a precise and even fertiliser flow, particularly on slopes or hilly terrain and the widest spreading width of 54m.

Featuring four weigh cells, alongside a dual reference sensor, the system provides real-time automated weighing, while the new series is believed to be the first Tractor Implement Management (TIM) spreader that automatically adjusts the top link length to ensure the spreader remains level, while also monitoring and controlling the speed of the PTO output.

On a practical front, the rear cover folds to deliver a footstep/ platform for improved and safer access when filling or checking the hopper contents. The spreader also incorporates an integral parking stand when the machine is being stored. The series will debut to the public at Agritechnica in November.
