e-Spreader
Simple integrated accuracy.
Introducing our latest innovation - the SAM e-Spreader. Any SAM Spreader can be upgraded to an e-Spreader at the time of build. The floor speed is controlled from a screen in your tractor cab. This replaces the manual drive. You can set your rate easily from in your cab and get your spread rate very accurate.
The SAM e-Spreader is easy to calibrate and every e-Spreader is load cell ready. Integrating load cells is the only way to get true accuracy because you are weighing your product. This technology means the correct application rate is applied regardless of changes in forward speed.
It also integrates easily with third party GPS systems such as TracMap. You can see how many hectares you have covered from the screen and the weight you have applied. This live data means proof of placement is easy. If you are already using a third party tracking system you don’t have to reinvent the wheel.
80 - 90 l/min of oil flow from your tractor is preferred.

e-Rate controller in your cab
The e-Rate controller screen is mounted in your cab. Setting your spread rate is simple – just key in your spread rate, your product density and spread width. The reliable European hardware is from Germany coupled with innovative Kiwi software (shown here with TracMap).

Border control & Bulk unloading
Extra functions such as bulk unloading and border control are included as standard. Border control reduces spinner speed on the right hand disk which decreases spread width. This is helpful for spreading beside borders and waterways.

Load cell integration
Integrated load cells are standard. They give you improved accuracy as you are weighing the product in your bin.
