Weighing spreaders and mineral fertilizer spreaders: differences and possible applications

Mineral fertilizer spreaders and weighing spreaders play a central role in modern agriculture when it comes to the efficient and precise application of fertilizers. Both types of machine offer individual advantages to ensure the supply of nutrients to the fields. But which model is best suited to your farm?

Differences between mineral fertilizer spreaders and weighing spreaders

Mineral fertilizer spreaders are the classic machines for the uniform application of solid fertilizers. They distribute the fertilizer evenly using preset parameters such as spreading width and application rate. These spreaders are robust and easy to operate and maintain.


Weighing spreaders, on the other hand, have an integrated scale that measures the amount of fertilizer applied in real time in addition to the spreading function. This precision function enables the fertilizer quantity to be automatically adjusted to the requirements of the field, thus minimizing possible losses. This prevents over- or under-fertilization, resulting in optimal nutrient utilization, increased efficiency and cost savings.


The choice between a mineral fertilizer spreader and a weighing spreader depends heavily on the individual requirements of the farm. While mineral fertilizer spreaders are a good choice for smaller or less specialized farms due to their simplicity and low cost, weighing spreaders offer clear advantages for technology-savvy farms and those that cultivate large areas due to their precision and automation.

Frequently asked questions about weighing spreaders and mineral fertilizer spreaders

How important is it to calibrate a weigh spreader?

Calibration is crucial to ensure precise application of the fertilizer quantity. An incorrectly calibrated spreader can lead to uneven fertilization, which can result in yield losses or excessive costs. Calibration should therefore be checked before each use.


What working width should my mineral fertilizer spreader have?

The optimum working width depends on the size of your farm and the machinery used. As a rule, working widths are between 12 and 42 meters. Modern spreaders are often adjustable so that they can be flexibly adapted to the respective requirements.


What maintenance work is required for a used spreader?

Both mineral fertilizer spreaders and weighing spreaders are characterized by a long service life, especially if they are regularly maintained. Spreading discs, agitators and bearings on used machines should be checked regularly for wear. With weighing spreaders in particular, it is important that the weighing technology works perfectly and is calibrated regularly.


What to consider when buying a used spreader

Whether it's a mineral fertilizer spreader or a weighing spreader, make sure the machine is in good condition. Check the spreading plate, agitators and all moving parts for wear. With a weighing spreader, you should carefully check the function of the scales and the electronics. Ask the dealer for a free demonstration or test drive to ensure that the spreader meets your requirements.
