FlowPilot: easy setting and adjustment The compact FlowPilot ‘dashboard’ gives you a considerably simplified accurate setting and adjustment of application rates. Two hydraulically operated metering plates, each with three discharge openings ensure an equal fertiliser flow from the hopper to the spreading discs.

Perfect spreading pattern with an optimal coefficient of variation An important factor for an optimal spreading pattern is the coefficient of variation (CV). This is the percentage of deviation of the spreading pattern compared to an uniform distribution. The evenness of the transversal distribution for fertiliser spreaders shall be such that the calculated value of the CV, when driving to and from, does not exceed 15% calculated in accordance with EN 13739-2 (SOURCE: NEN-EN 13739-2 (EN)). Eight vanes per disc - the Kubota standard

A CV <10% means an optimal spreading result
A CV >20% means an a-symmetrical distribution with too much variation
