If you’re looking to Go full VRA mapping and rate control with scales, then the CGSA Pro VRA-X (scales and rate controller Iso bus ready) package is for you. This will allow you to benefit from Section control, ground speed-based rate control, VRA Mapping, and on-the-go calibration with scales.

Let's talk about VRA Options!

Before we do though, we need to understand the basics of how our spreader operates.

A standard spreader has a flow gate position that is manually fixed to a determined setting. Then there is a hydraulic fast gate that is used to open or close the flow-gate opening. The contents (Fertiliser etc.) then drops onto the moving spinner that has its veins set to achieve the desired width and spread pattern.

The flow gate position is determined by looking at a settings chart. This matches speed, width, and rate. This chart will then instruct the user of the correct flow gate lever position setting. The limitations with this standard setup are, the flow-gate is only manually fixed position for one particular speed. Meaning if you drive faster or slower than the set target speed then your rate will be incorrect (either overdosing or underdosing the area of the paddock). This system also relies on the operator opening and shutting the flow-gate when they are spreading over areas they have already been. Resulting in the potential for overlap and/or missed sections.

Installing a rate controller to your spreader, which consists of 2 electric actuators which are mounted to connect to the flow gate arms, that would be normally manually set to a fixed position. This gives the flow gate opening the ability to adjust to match ground speeds, so the Spreader can achieve the same rate over a variety of ground speeds. The installation of the rate controller is the basis of what VRA needs to be, to be able to control the dose by automating the flow gate.

There are many ways to Look at VRA, the most important one is to acknowledge that every paddock is not completely uniform, so why do we treat them as uniform when spreading fertilisers?

Installing a rate controller is the first step that allows you to achieve the desired target rate throughout a wide range of speeds. Giving the spreader the ability to match the flow required for different speeds. This also allows the use of section control, which limits overlap on headlands and around obstacles within the field resulting in the product being used where it’s needed and ultimately saving you money.

Features

UNIVERSAL CABLING SYSTEM

The new cabling system, suitable for trailed or linkage spreaders, allows a universal and flexible connection between the IBX100 ISOBUS ECU, either with ISOBUS ready tractors or non-ISOBUS tractors.

This enables the spreader manufacturer or seller to decide at any time with which type of ISOBUS VT display to use.
