Benefits

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.
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.
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.
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.
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

Dosing electronics in perfection

QUANTRON-A regulates the opening position of the metering slides and thus the flow rate depending on the forward speed and the preset application rate.

The preselected application rate is always maintained when the forward speed varies. QUANTRON-A impresses with its large, clear display, logical menu navigation and USB interface.

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

Information on QUANTRON-A is available here
Agitators | MDS

MDS spreaders are equipped with corrosion-free agitators

RAUCH has been supplying the complete MDS series with new corrosion-free agitator heads since October 2014. The new MDS agitator head is made from high-quality composite plastics. The plastic agitator sets new standards in terms of both abrasion resistance and corrosion resistance compared to the replaced cast iron version. Rust stains or agitator heads that have corroded onto the agitator shaft are now a thing of the past. The familiar RAUCH agitator fingers are still made of tool steel.

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.

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

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.

Limited border spreading Telimat MDS

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.

GPS control with CCI 800

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.

Information about the CCI 800 can be found here

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.

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.

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.
