Manufactured in Ireland, tested and launched at Agritechnica in Germany, AgriSpread’s new AS3000 bulk spreader takes much of the technology and features of the well-established AS2000 Series but adds a conveyor system to increase spreading widths up to 30m with lime/gypsum, up to 48m with urea and a whopping 52m with mineral and synthetic fertilisers.

Available on the single 120 and tandem axle 150 and 220 models, offering capacities from 11.9 to 21.0 cubic metres, the conveyor system places the discs 6.2m apart, the outer disc & conveyor designs, each 3m from the centre, is engineered for high ground clearance. The disc height of 850mm is designed for high crop clearance crop clearance and the ability to cope with rough terrain.

The speed of each disc can be controlled separately for section control and boundary spreading, with application rates controlled by a TopCon sourced electronics suite, which also includes variable rate application at up to 2300 kg/min with lime and 360 kg/minute with mineral fertilisers.

Aimed at precision spreaders of a wide range of products for larger farming and contracting enterprises, the unit is also suitable for Controlled Traffic Farming (CTF), alongside meeting increasing global demand for increasing tramline-guided working widths across the industry.

Throughout the three-model offering, with tare weights ranging from 6475 to 9750kg, with carrying capacities of 14.5 to 25 tonnes, machines can be operated at speeds of up to 30kph.

Using stainless steel throughout for corrosion resistance, the AS3000 Series features its own on-board hydraulic system with a ptopowered pump, used to drive the discs, discharge conveyors and the hopper belt floor.

Featuring 150mm section axles, 10-stud commercial fitments and tyres to 750-65R26 section, standard equipment includes hydraulic brakes, transport lighting, headland border control, ISOBUS monitored load cells and axle track widths of 2 or 3 metre centres. Options include air-brakes, electric or hydraulic roll over covers and a rear steering axle.
