A successful fertilising season begins long before the first trip to the field. In our new video, Volker shows you step by step how to properly prepare your spreader for the coming season.
From checking the mechanics and typical wear points to inspecting the terminal, you will learn which points are really important, what you should definitely pay attention to and how to avoid mistakes that will cost you time, money and nerves later on.
The video is aimed at anyone who wants to keep their spreader reliable, efficient and ready for use – whether for their own safety, for optimum spreading quality or for a smooth start to the season.
Less fertiliser, more yield? With Rauch fertiliser spreaders and the VariSpread Pro automatic part-width section control system, this is not a contradiction in terms! Fertiliser savings of up to 15 % are possible, which is doubly positive: for your wallet and the environment.
How does it work? VariSpread Pro continuously adjusts the working width and application rate on the move. This means that no fertiliser is wasted on headlands, field wedges and unused tramlines. The smaller the field, the greater the savings.

Have you already bought your fertiliser or are you thinking about buying it? Then it is crucial that you know the correct setting values for your fertiliser spreader. However, it can be confusing, especially if you are using a new model like the RAUCH fertiliser spreader. In this video, Volker shows you how to easily determine the right settings for your RAUCH fertiliser spreader. It is important to check in advance whether setting values are available at all. Volker guides you through the process and explains step by step how to proceed.
How do I set my fertiliser spreader correctly?
The correct setting depends on the type of fertiliser, the application rate, the working width and the driving speed. The basis is always the appropriate spreading table and a setting of the spreading discs and dosage that is tailored to the fertiliser. With RAUCH fertiliser spreaders such as AXIS, AXENT or AERO, these parameters can be precisely coordinated with each other to achieve an even cross-distribution.
Why is spread pattern control so important?
Regular spreading pattern control ensures that the fertiliser is distributed evenly across the entire working width. Deviations quickly lead to over- or under-fertilisation and thus to yield losses. In our experience, control is a key component of efficient and precise fertiliser application.
How can I save fertiliser while maintaining the same yield?
Savings potential arises primarily from precise adjustment of the fertiliser spreader, the use of section control and an adapted driving style. Systems such as VariSpread, VariSpread pro or precise quantity control with EMC help to reduce overlap and apply fertiliser in a targeted manner.
What role do fertiliser type and quality play in application?
Different types of fertiliser vary in grain size, density and flow properties. These factors directly influence the throwing range and the spreading pattern. Therefore, the fertiliser spreader should always be adjusted specifically for the fertiliser and compared with the corresponding spreading tables.
When should the fertiliser spreader be checked and serviced?
Before the start of the fertiliser season, it is advisable to carry out a complete functional check of the spreader. This includes checking wear parts, checking the metering systems and calibrating the application rate. Regular maintenance ensures consistently precise spreading results and reliable application.
How do wind and weather conditions affect fertiliser application?
Wind, humidity and soil conditions have a direct influence on the trajectory of the fertiliser granules and the lateral distribution. Especially with larger working widths, an adapted driving style and settings are crucial to ensure even fertiliser application.
What are typical mistakes in fertiliser application?
The most common mistakes include incorrect spreading tables, inappropriate settings for the fertiliser type, uneven driving speed or a lack of spreading pattern checks. A working width that is not optimally adjusted can also lead to spreading losses and inefficient fertiliser use.
How do digital systems support precise fertiliser application?
Digital assistance systems enable significantly more accurate control of the application rate and distribution. Functions such as EMC for automatic mass flow control or OptiPoint and OptiPoint pro for optimum switching point control at the headland help to make fertiliser application efficient, precise and resource-saving.
