Espalhador Green Precision
With the DPA (Displacement Proportional to Advance) system on the spreaders, it is now possible to adjust the distribution of manure according to the speed of the tractor. In other words, until now, when the tractor stopped, it was necessary to close a valve or stop the belt, often creating excess accumulations of organic matter. With this system, regardless of speed, the distribution of organic matter is evenly deposited on each terrain (whether it's hilly terrain, slopes or tight curves).
