Cresco 20SW Fertiliser Spreader |

The Cresco 20SW has a 3 metre spread width with the fertilisers that I supply. It features a 3-Port Slide System and self centring gearbox which ensures an even application of all granular materials with professional results. The fingertip rate control provides easy control and balance of fertiser application. It has a rustproof 30kg capacity hopper, pneumatic tyres and very smooth operation.

Cresco Spreader Settings
You can opt to spread in one pass or two overlapping passes at half the rate. Two passes is likely to give a better result. Either way you will need to set the application rate accordingly. The Cresco 20SW spreader has a numerical scale, the setting is dependent on the granule size and density. The fertilisers that I supply are virtually all the same consistency so once you have calibrated the spreader you won't have to change it again. I use a setting of 6.5 on the scale provided. This delivers about 16 gsm and I always do a double pass so the total amount applied is 32 gsm. You may need to make small adjustments because your walking speed may differ from mine. The left hand slider (see photo) should be is pulled out 3 clicks for my fertilisers see photo - do not confuse this with the Border Slide which reduces the spread to right hand only. If you prefer to apply in one pass, the setting is 8.5. |
