The current cost of fertiliser makes it imperative that it is spread accurately in a manner that will result in optimum utilisation of what is now one of the most expensive inputs in crop farming, or indeed any form of agriculture.  A fully equipped Amazone spreader provides the ultimate weapon in the fight against rising input costs.

The PTO shaft may have to be cut to the correct length to suit your tractor/slasher combination. Too long a shaft can result in serious damage to your tractor, the slasher, or the PTO shaft when the implement is either raised or lowered. Cutting the shaft too short may result in your not being able to use it or, if the overlap is too short, the shaft will, when under power, start to vibrate, break or tear open, causing damage to the implement and tractor and injury to the operator.The process of cutting the PTO and the calculation to establish the correct length are clearly described in the PTO manual. So please refer to this handbook before cutting the PTO shaft, especially pages 39 and 97-100.
