he great spreading precision of these kind of fertlizer spreaders lets them to be used in different

applications, both for specific cultivations and in golf courses.

he Cosmo series of pendular spreaders can rely on a huge range of models adaptable with tractors

of any power.

he upper parts of the gear box are made in polyethylene in order to increase its long life to the

corrosion.

he standard spout allows to get a spreading width from 8 m to 14 m that can be modified according

to the needs and the type of fertilizer used.

he gear box can be set to 3 reduction spreading patterns (see par. 5.1.1) by turning the width

adjustment key.

Beside the standard spout, several pendulum items are available for different applications, such as

for the salt spreading where the spreading width is min. 2 m until max. 4 m, or for using in vineyards,

orchards or in parks.

he hopper in reinforced plastic cannot rust nor be damaged.

he painting of the frame, as for all Cosmo products, is made by a water base varnish with

successive backing at 150° with the application of the primer bath, assuring a great protection and

long life of the machine.

he feeding of the disc is by gravity through the exits, located on the bottom of the hopper, that can

be opened or closed by a mechanical or hydraulic system (optional). he dosage of the fertilizer is

made by operating on the opening section by a dosing rod that slides on a threaded pin with a

graduate scale.
