Salford-Valmar’s Airflo pull-type spreaders have been very popular with sod farmers for years, but one Keota, Iowa operation has found the Airflo 8608 (today’s 8708) to be a staple on their corn and soybean acres. Since Klein Farms put the machine to work on fall rye and spring urea, they have never looked back.
As growers continue to hone in on fertilizer application precision with VRT, we are constantly looking for ways to better serve customers in this manner. While it’s common to variable-rate macronutrients like phosphate and potash, some growers also like to work in micronutrients with VRT, or even seed cover crops at a flat rate. With traditional methods, three products can be applied at once but only two of them would be applied at a variable rate. Another option would be making an additional pass to variable rate the third product or seed the cover crop. To solve this issue and maximize the trip across the field, we added a three-bin spreader to our fleet this fall.

I have been working around hay and forage equipment for 15+ years and have heard this phrase more than a time or two: “Tedder? I don’t need no stinkin‘ tedder!” While hay tedders have been available for some time, many people still don’t see their value or understand when to use them.More
