Simon Hinchcliffe farms near Maltby in South Yorkshire and is currently on his third Amazone spreader in a row now, swapping them in every 5 years or so. His current ZA-TS 4200 on it’s third season this year and is equipped with all the bells and whistles such as ArgusTwin and WindControl. “We bought this spreader when fertiliser prices jumped considerably just over 3 years ago and decided to go with the ArgusTwin and WindControl to make our application window wider and particularly make urea application more efficient” discussed Simon. Further commenting “The WindControl system just works in the background and shows you on the screen what it’s doing to compensate for the wind and also alerts you when the wind is too high and it’s time to stop”.

The Amazone mySpreader app contains fertiliser settings for thousands of different fertilisers as well as the built in AI assisted EasyCheck tray test. EasyCheck works by laying out 16 lightweight mats in the field and then taking photos of each mat within the app. The app uses AI to count the fertiliser prills on each mat to ensure perfect fertiliser distribution or even recommend new settings. Simon uses the mySpreader app for finding initial fertiliser settings and then does a tray test with the EasyCheck mats, “we usually do about 2 tray tests per products per season because its quick and easy to do and we’ve never had any problems with striping or lodging”.
