Two disc centrifugal distributor for towing by tractor - comprises C=section cross beam with recessed ends attached to container by bearers with gears of drive located underneath
A centre support connects to the upper member of the tractor coupling, and beneath the container (1) are two parallel horizontal bearers (23) running from front to back. Across the ends of these bearers is a cross beam (26) whose ends (28) are reduced in depth from the upper surface to accommodate the gyro discs. The cross beam has an open C-profile as seen from behind and the bearers have flat rectangular profiles and are fixed to the cross beam near the transition sections (30). The gears for the drive are located underneath the bearers. ADVANTAGE - The path of the scattered fertilizer does not foul the upper surface of the traverse.
