Multi-disc system
Ingenious solutions for more spreading precision
With the tried-and-tested multi-disc system, which gives the MDS fertiliser spreader its name, everything revolves around the spreading discs. The simple adjustment of the length and angle of the spreading vanes enables the fertiliser spreader to be precisely adapted to different spreading materials and working widths: precise and reliable in normal fertilisation, late fertilisation and for yield-optimised spreading at the edge of the field (right and left).
This means: high precision fertiliser distribution and the achievement of exact spreading patterns for all types of fertiliser, fine seeds and slug pellets.
Thanks to the clearly visible, three-dimensional position indicator, the spreading vanes can be easily and clearly adjusted in length and angle, even after long periods of use.

E-Click
RAUCH offers simple operating electronics with E-Click
The special feature of E-Click: The electric metering slides can be conveniently operated separately on the left and right by toggle switch. A control diode indicates the current slide position. This minimises operating errors.
The E-Click control terminal is elegantly connected to the fertiliser spreader by cable. There is no need to connect the hydraulic hoses. High-quality, dust and splash-proof actuators ensure a high level of operating comfort and a long service life for the investment.
The E-Click electric shutter slide actuation is particularly suitable for smaller tractors with few hydraulic connections.

Direct-Flow-Control
Precise, predictable dosing
The spread rate is preselected on the large, quantity-proportional Direct Flow Control (DfC) scale, infinitely variable from 3 kg/ha. The DfC scale makes it possible to change the exact application rate without additional aids.
Quite simply:
10% higher scale value means 10% higher application rate. This simplifies the precise adjustment of the optimum application rate from one field to another. -
Gearbox and spreading technology
Robust, durable and maintenance-free
The heart of the MDS spreader is the maintenance-free oil bath gearbox. All shafts are mounted on two bearings. The agitator
shaft is made of high-quality stainless steel. Even after many years of hard use, no oil change is necessary.Decisive factors for the quality of the spread pattern:
A slowly rotating agitator finger (180 rpm) ensures a trouble-free, constant supply of fertiliser that is gentle on the fertiliser.
The special metering slide shape enables precise metering of very small (3 kg/ha) and large quantities of nutrients and is therefore also suitable for spreading slug pellets, fine seeds and rice.
The fertiliser is gently transferred to the spreader vane via the metering channel with brushes. The special notches on the spreading vanes ensure that even the most pressure-sensitive fertiliser types retain their spreading properties.
The high disc speed (980 rpm) accelerates the fertiliser grain to an optimum discharge speed. The high discharge energy ensures safe flight behaviour and is crucial for precise fertiliser distribution.

Single-chamber principle
MDS shows its strengths in daily use
The MDS single-chamber hopper system is ideal for use in hilly or small-structured terrain:< /p>
No one-sided emptying of the hopper, even with the metering slide closed on one side. The spreading material can be used right down to the last grain. This saves time and increases efficiency.
-
Slider variant
The right shutter slide variant for every tractor
The metering slides are elegantly opened or closed separately on the left and right side by mechanical, hydraulic or electric remote control. Even wedge-shaped areas can be spread with partial width precision.

QUANTRON-A | MDS
Dosierelektronik in Perfektion
QUANTRON-A regelt die Öffnungsstellung der Dosierschieber und damit die Durchflussmenge in Abhängigkeit von der Fahrgeschwindigkeit und der vorgegebenen Ausbringmenge.
Bei variierender Fahrgeschwindigkeit bleibt die vorgewählte Ausbringmenge immer erhalten. Mit großem, übersichtlichem Display, einer logisch aufgebauten Menüführung und einer USB-Schnittstelle überzeugt QUANTRON-A.
Alle Funktionen lassen sich elektrisch fernbedient, komfortabel und sicher mit nur einer Hand ausführen. MDS mit QUANTRON-A bietet nicht nur eleganten Bedienkomfort sondern steigert die Präzision und die Effizienz in der Ausbringung wertvoller Düngergranulate.

Rührwerke | MDS
MDS-Streuer sind mit korrosionsfreien Rührwerken ausgestattet
RAUCH liefert seit Oktober 2014 die komplette MDS-Baureihe mit neuen korrosionsfreien Rührwerksköpfen aus. Der neue MDS-Rührkopf wird aus hochwertigen Verbundkunststoffen gefertigt. Sowohl in der Abriebfestigkeit als auch bei der Korrosionsbeständigkeit setzt das Kunststoff-Rührwerk neue Maßstäbe gegenüber der abgelösten Gusseisen-Variante. Rostflecken oder an der Rührwerkswelle festkorrodierte Rührköpfe gehören damit der Vergangenheit an. Die bekannten RAUCH-Rührfinger werden nach wie vor aus Werkzeugstahl gefertigt.

Hopper cover | MDS
The prefect protection against humidity and dirt from the tyres.
All MDS hopper covers open over the entire filling area thanks to the high-quality "convertible-like folding" feature.
So filling can carry on, trouble-free, as usual.
Hopper covers are offered for all MDS models, except the viticulture spreader 8.2, both the basic equipment as well as all attachment versions.
MDS lighting with warning signs
The high-quality, dust and splash-proof lighting ensures safety while in operation. High-quality reflectors meet all the requirements of the Highway Code.
Limited border spreading GSE MDS
If the tracks lie directly on the edge of the field, the thrower shield GSE 7 can be used in combination with one-sided spreading. The distance to the
border can be varied between 0 to 2 m. With a hydraulic remote control, GSE 7 can be raised and lowered from the cab via a single-acting tractor control valve (optional).
The precise MDS edge spreading and border thrower shields comply with the European environmental standard (EN 13739-1) for fertiliser spreaders and make a decisive contribution to greater economy and environmental protection.
GPS speed sensor
In order to be able to regulate spreading according to the driving speed, the QUANTRON-A and QUANTRON-K2 scatter computers, and the ISOBUS display all require a speed signal. This usually comes via the 7-pin signal socket or the ISOBUS from the tractor unit. If the tractor itself is not equipped with this signal, either a wheel sensor must be retrofitted or you can use this GPS speed sensor.
A GPS signal in combination with an acceleration sensor generates a high-precision speed signal. This is especially recommended if the spreader is used in combination with several tractors or is also shared by different companies.
Another great advantage of this is that the slip of the tractor tyres in wet conditions or slopes does not matter and does not adversely affect the spreading result.
Practical test set
More safety when spreading
RAUCH PPS 5 Practical test set permits cross-distribution to be checked and corrected quickly and easily in the field. This provides even more reliability and accuracy during spreading, particularly with fertilisers of lower quality, problematic discharge properties or unknown origin.
In combination with the clear and comprehensible AXIS-CDA tuning logic, corrections are amazingly easy and secure.
PPS 5 components:
- 10 collecting trays
- 5 measuring cylinders
- 1 roller tape measure
- clear, logical operating instructions.
Row spreading device RFZ 7
RFZ 7 is the spreading device specially designed for row crops such as maize, strawberries, vegetables, etc. that allows up to seven rows to be precisely supplied with the desired fertiliser at the same time. The RFZ 7 can be adjusted to different metering quantities and row spacing in just a few simple steps.
RFZ 7 can be combined with MDS 14.2, 18.2 and 20.2.
Row spreading device RV 2M
MDS with RV 2M - for accurate metering
The RV 2M row spreading device enables selective nutrient application in the root area of row crops. No granulate falls into the machine track. This saves valuable fertiliser. The RV 2M can be easily and variably adjusted to row distances between 2 and 5 m, and can be converted back from row to area spreading in only a few minutes.
RV 2M can be combined with all MDS models.
