The appraisal comprised the elements “Functionality and quality of work” and “Handling, operation, and maintenance.” The slurry-spreading system impressed the testers with its extremely high distribution accuracy and a coefficient variation of less than two percent. They also emphasized the easy accessibility of the cutting blades in the precision distributor for quick, simple maintenance.
“We are delighted to receive another DLG award, which confirms that our technology ensures precise, low-loss liquid manure spreading. Farmers spread only as much liquid manure as necessary to provide the plants with an optimum supply of nutrients, i.e., the minimum required to fertilize economically and in compliance with the law,” says Harald Vogelsang, Managing Director of Vogelsang GmbH & Co. KG. He goes on to say: “Thus we provide our customers with low-emission, eco-friendly fertilization, even on narrow working widths.”
Top marks for precise slurry handling
In all the tests carried out, slurry spreading and distribution using BlackBird and ExaCut ECQ achieved the highest possible DLG rating. According to the test report, the time it takes for the slurry to flow out of all the outlets at the start of spreading is “extremely short” at less than two seconds, which significantly reduces the “V” of uneven distribution. Top marks were also awarded for the user-friendliness of the precision distributor. Maintenance work on the ExaCut ECQ can be carried out quickly and independently within 20 minutes thanks to Vogelsang’s QuickService concept. The testers also highlighted the fact that parts can be replaced with the device in an upright position and that no special tools are required to do so.
