Benefits

  • Multi-Disc-System

    Ingenious solutions for more spreading precision

    The tried and tested multi-disc system, which gives the MDS fertiliser spreader its name, is all about the spreader discs. The simple adjustment of the spreader vanes in length and angle enables the fertiliser spreader to be perfectly adapted to different materials and spreading widths. It's precise and reliable when it comes to normal fertilisation, late fertilisation and yield-optimised spreading near field boundaries (right and left side).

     

    This means: highly precise 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 display, the spreader vanes can be easily adjusted in length and angle even after long use.

  • E-Click

    With E-Click, RAUCH offers a convenient electrical operating system

    The special thing about E-Click: The electrical dispensing gates can be controlled separately from each other on the left and right side using a toggle switch. A control diode displays the current gate position. This greatly minimises operating errors.


    The E-Click control terminal is elegantly connected to the fertiliser spreader by a cable. The need to connect hydraulic hoses is thus completely eliminated. High-quality, dust and splash-proof actuators ensure a high level of operating comfort and a long service life for your investment.


    The electric E-Click dispensing gate control is particularly suitable for smaller tractors with only a few hydraulic connections.

  • Direct-Flow-Control

    Precise and predictable dosing

    The smooth and incremental pre-selection of the volume to be spread starting from 3 kg/ha is based on the large, volume-proportional direct flow control scale, in short 'DfC scale'. The DfC scale allows an exact change to be made to the application rate without any additional aids.


    It's very easy:

    A 10% higher scale value means a 10% higher application rate. This greatly simplifies the precise setting of the ideal application rate from one field to another.

  • Single-chamber principle

    MDS demonstrates its strengths in everyday use

    The MDS single-chamber container system is ideal for use in clipped or small-sized terrain:

    There's no one-sided emptying of the container, even with one-sided closed dispensing gate. The spreading material can be used right down to the last grain. This saves time and increases efficiency.

  • Gate version

    The right gate version for every tractor

    The dispensing gates are remotely and elegantly opened and closed mechanically, hydraulically, or electrically on the left and right side independent of each other. Spreading is even possible on wedge-shaped surfaces with partial width accuracy.

    Gate version overview

  • QUANTRON-A | MDS

    Electronic dosing system to perfection

    QUANTRON-A regulates the opening position of the dispensing gates and thus the flow rate depending on the driving speed and the specified application rate.

    When the driving speed varies, the preselected application rate always stays the same. QUANTRON-A impresses users with its large, clear display, intuitive menu navigation, and USB port.

    All functions can be electrically remotely controlled, conveniently and safely with just one hand: MDS with QUANTRON-A not only offers elegant ease of use but also increases the precision and efficiency when spreading valuable fertiliser granules.

  • Agitators | MDS

    RWK 7K for grass seeds

    With the RWF agitator finger, MDS can be quickly converted into a seed spreader with a wide spreading width.

    Agitator RWK 15 for powdery fertilisers

    With RWK 15, powdery fertilisers are also fed cleanly to the dispensing gates.

    RWK 6K for caking fertiliser

GPS speed sensor
GPS speed sensor

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.

Limited border spreading GSE MDS

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.

For all spreaders, the MDS spreader discs can be quickly and easily adjusted to edge spreading with the multi-disc system both on the right and on the left.

Spread conveniently at borders and edges and without having to climb down from the driver's seat - with TELIMAT T1* it's no problem. The thrower shield is quickly and conveniently controlled remotely from the tractor. A smooth and seamless transition from border spreading to standard spreading without interrupting the spreader saves time and increases effectiveness. TELIMAT can be adjusted to any track or tramline system: simply, quickly and accurately. TELIMAT T1 requires a free double acting tractor control valve.

* TELIMAT T1 is available for MDS 18.2 / 20.2.

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 control with CCI 800

In order to use the QUANTRON-A to automatically switch part-width sections and headlands via GPS or to scatter application maps, the QUANTRON-A is connected to the CCI.800 terminal via a serial interface.

In this case, the CCI.800 is not used as an ISOBUS terminal, but as a GPS terminal that, in combination with a GPS receiver, switches part-width sections via SectionControl or processes application maps via the TaskController.

Telimat sensor

The optional AXIS Telimat sensor shows in the display of the QUANTRON-A or the ISOBUS terminal whether the Telimat thrower shield is in the ready position. It happens again and again that not only smartphone-happy farmers forget to raise the Telimat again after limited border spreading, thereby causing errors in the spreading results. Just one look at the display and you will be reminded of the Telimat's position.
