| Abstract/Contents: | "The speed of a rotary spreader is known to affect the application rate and the patternparticularly when the spreader has a ground-driven impeller. A laboratory study of spreader rate and pattern parameters at varying speeds indicates that pattern quality may not be as susceptible to speed changes as has been assumed. The critical parameters of an overlapped patterncoefficient of variation and the minimum and maximum points in the patternwere not significantly changed in the test until the speed had been decreased at least 25%. These parameters were not significantly changed with speed increases of as much as 50%. Thus, from the pattern standpoint, speed increases are less detrimental than speed decreases, so the operator should try to err on the positive side. Rate, on the other hand, changed significantly with a speed decrease of 25% or a speed increase of only 8%. This test was run with only one material and one spreader, so caution is urged in extrapolation of the data." |
