Electronic Mass Flow Control (EMC) is a unique technology, well-established and proven after years of experience. The patented torque-based system measures and continuously adjusts the application rate on each disc separately for complete flexibility and high precision.

The Vari-Spread system saves fertilizer by shutting off sections in point rows and oddly shaped fields. In manual mode, four sections per side are selectable (eight total). In automatic GPS mode, the system adjusts the drop point and disc speed constantly, resulting in a continuously variable spread width. Opti-Point takes the guesswork out of headland turns, starting or stopping the discs at just the right moment to reduce overlap.

Border spreading is accomplished on the Axent™ fertilizer spreader by reducing disc speed and/or drop point so fertilizer stays within the boundaries of your fields. Border spreading can be engaged on either the left- or right-hand side via the control terminal in a similar manner to the KUHN Axis® fertilizer spreader.

The Coaxial Distribution Adjustment (CDA) system has two important features that make it unique:

1. The pivoting hopper base enables quick adaptation to various fertilizers and working widths by adjusting the drop point of the fertilizer onto the spreading discs.
2. Specially designed metering outlets close to the center of the discs allow multiple supply points to the paddles. This helps ensure constant fertilizer flow and an even spread pattern.

The Lime PowerPack allows for accurate spreading of ag lime as well some organic material. The lime pack contains larger and heavier spinning discs to spread the heavy and wet material up to 60’. The Lime PowerPack can be used for variable rate application as standard.

For precise documentation and improved operator comfort, four integrated weigh scales allow you to see the total remaining material load and area left before needing to reload.

Hopper protective guards are used with the Axis® PowerPack to help prevent foreign material from damaging the belt or other components. They can be removed quickly for lime spreading with the quick-lock system. The main hopper agitator allows for sticky clumps of fertilizer or lime to be broken apart for more uniform spreading.

For increased operator comfort and faster loading, the hopper cover is hydraulically opened and closed from the cab. Coupled with the standard weigh scales to keep track of how much material remains in the hopper, you can see shorter refilling times and subsequently less fatigue.
