For the Brittany-based manufacturer, automatic weighing generates undeniable fertilizer savings. Widely used on large farms, Sulky wanted to make it more accessible by launching this September 2010 a series of fully equipped fertilizer spreaders, the DPX28 Vision WPB.
Latest-generation Vision console
Flow rate adjustment is automatic from the Vision console in the cab. An all-stainless-steel, ultra-robust load cell (rated for 10 tonnes!) is protected inside the chassis. It continuously provides information on the weight of fertilizer in the hopper. The flow gates are controlled both hydraulically and electrically: the highly precise electric cylinders regulate the flow rate (electronic DPA), while the faster hydraulics handle full opening and closing, particularly at the headland. The VISION console can store the settings for 8 products and record data for 75 different jobs...
"Secure" width adjustment
The DPX28 weigh model offers a working width continuously adjustable from 12 up to 28 metres. According to Sulky, even fertilizers with a specific weight well below 1, such as granulated urea, can be spread over 24 metres. Thanks to the DPX System with adjustable chutes ("continuous" width adjustment by changing the fertilizer drop point), the user does not need to adjust the discs or the staggered spreading vanes.
For spreading along field edges, the exclusive TRIBORD device, controlled from the cab via the VISION console, is part of the standard equipment. Free access to the FERTITEST online service (assistance with settings on www.sulky-burel.com) is also included.
Large capacity and robustness
Available with a base capacity of 1500 litres but extendable to 2100 litres, the DPX28 weigh model is reportedly easy to load, particularly with big bags, thanks to its 2,40 m of usable width. The anti-corrosion protection of the DPX28 weigh model is carried out in 13 stages, including a fully robotic dip in a primer bath and a final paint finish in 3 coats meeting the latest environmental standards.
Complete equipment
According to Sulky, the standard equipment is particularly comprehensive, as it includes, in addition to the VISION WPB electronic console, the TRIBORD remote border spreading device, a clevis hitch, the external (stainless steel) safety frame, integrated lighting on a stainless steel bar, and a "premium" transmission with torque limiter...
