  How to Calibrate Your Fertilizer Spreader
A drop spreader has the advantage of applying a fairly exact pattern since this is limited to the distance between the wheels (Plate 16).
The uneven, wide pattern of the cyclone spreader is initially harder to calibrate and heavier fertilizer particles tend to sling farther away from the machine.
Spreader calibration involves measurement of the fertilizer output as the spreader is operated over a known area.

 Rhinoplasty Dissection Manual: Spreader Grafts
Spreader grafts act as spacers between the upper lateral cartilage and septum, cor­recting an overnarrow middle vault and internal nasal valve or preventing excessive narrowing in the high-risk patient (2-10).
Spreader grafts applied between the nasal septum and upper lateral cartilages prevent excessive narrowing of the nose and preserve an adequate nasal valve.
Spreader grafts may be applied unilaterally or asymmetrically to camouflage asymmetry of the middle nasal vault.

 eMedicine - Rhinoplasty, Spreader Grafts : Article by John Hilinski, MD   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Spreader grafts are intended to target a dysfunctional internal valve and/or narrowed or collapsed middle vault resulting from native weakness in cartilage and/or overresection of the dorsal septum and upper lateral cartilage during prior rhinoplasty surgery.
Spreader grafts still are used predominantly for internal valve collapse and middle vault aesthetic deformities but indications for their use continue to be expanded for other nasal abnormalities.
Spreader grafts typically are contoured in a rectangular shape and measure 1-3 mm in thickness by 4-6 mm in width by 20-35 mm in length, depending on the individual's nasal anatomy.

A drop spreader has the advantage of applying a fairly exact pattern since the area of application is limited to the distance between the wheels.
The uniformity of the application pattern of the cyclone spreader gradually diminishes as the distance from the spreader increases, reducing the probability of an application skip.
The uneven, wide pattern of the cyclone spreader is initially more difficult to calibrate and heavier fertilizer particles tend to sling farther away from the machine.

 UACES: Publications: Calibrating Poultry Litter Spreader Trucks
Spreader swath width is a key factor in controlling application uniformity.
The spreader should be engaged and distributing litter at a uniform rate well before it crosses the sampling surface.
The maximum deposition should be at the center, and the rate gradually decreases to the limits of the spreader “throw.” The “throw” distance and amount of litter spread on both sides of the spreader should also be about the same.

 Calibrating a Manure Spreader | NRCS NWMC
With a large potential variable in nutrient content, the calibration of the manure spreader does not have to be very precise.
A "quick and dirty" way to calibrate a manure spreader is as follows: First, determine the spreader capacity in cubic feet.
If this can not be done, the operator can compensate by making sure the spreader is not always going down the same paths in the field, or by crossing the fields in different directions.

 WQ214 Measuring Manure Spreader Uniformity, MU Extension
Lush growth within and adjacent to spreader paths and lesser growth in areas between are the result of uneven spreading.
If the area in and near the spreader path receives more manure than the area midway between spreader paths, then more overlap is needed and lane spacing must be reduced.
Some spreaders may spread manure at a greater rate along the outside edges of the spreading swath than in or near the spreader path.

 Millcreek Manure Spreader Tips
A spreader is a bin on wheels that breaks apart muck and other materials to allow them to be evenly deposited on soil where they can decompose into natural nutrients.
The larger the spreader, the less often you’ll have to drive it to the field to empty its contents.
Be sure to confirm that the spreader model you choose matches your tractor’s capabilities when you talk to your Millcreek dealer or sales representative.

 Manure Spreader Calibration
After determining the spreader application rate, adjust the spreader and measure the application rate again until the desired rate is achieved.
To calibrate a spreader and determine its application rate with the tarp method, you need a bucket, a sheet of plastic or canvas (plastic sheets tear easily), and a scale with a capacity of about 50 to 100 lbs.
Plot the calculated weights on a graph (Figure 2).The "y" axis is the amount of manure per square foot and the "x" axis is the distance from the center of the spreader to the center of the tarps.

 How to Calibrate Your Fertilizer Spreader   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Dry fertilizers can be applied with either a drop (gravity) spreader or a rotary (centrifugal) spreader.
A drop spreader has the advantage of applying a fairly exact pattern since this is limited to the distance between the wheels.
The cyclone (also known as rotary or centrifugal) spreader generally has a wider pattern of distribution compared to a drop spreader and thus can cover a larger area in a short time.

 Manure Spreader Calibration for Rear-discharge Equipment -- Handling Solid and Semi-solid Manures and Poultry Litter
The goal of manure spreader calibration is to determine the amount of manure, on a weight per unit area basis, that is being applied to a field.
The most accurate way to determine the weight of a load of manure in a spreader is to weigh the spreader both empty and full and then subtract the empty weight from the full weight to arrive at the weight of the manure.
For Spreader Trucks: If tarps 1, 3, and 5 are heavier than tarps 2 and 4, the manure may not be contacting the spinners at the correct location resulting in too MUCH material landing directly behind the spreader.

 WQWM-152 : Water Quality Sprayer and Spreader Calibration
Rotary spreaders have distribution patterns that are more forgiving of operator error, require a lower push effort, have better ground clearance, and have less delicate rate mechanisms, allowing them to hold their calibration longer over time.
Drop spreaders have uniform and consistent patterns, low drift potential, and precise control of the edges of the patterns which is useful for edging around small areas such as driveways and flower beds or near environmentally sensitive areas such as ponds or streams.
Unlike the drop spreader, some overlap of the pattern will be required to achieve a uniform distribution of the material, due to the bell-shaped nature of the distribution pattern of the rotary spreader.

 AY-278
The capacity of a box spreader is difficult to estimate accurately because the density of solid manure is quite variable.
Therefore, if you estimate spreader capacity as only the volume of manure the spreader holds you are overlooking the fact that some manure weighs more than other manure.
Weigh the spreader when it is empty, and subtract this value from the average loaded weight.

 Model “A” Spring Spreaders
The front spring has a relatively low arch and doesn’t spread much and therefor is not as difficult or dangerous as the rear spring to remove.
If your spring spreader is too light for the job and collapses, or slips, or a shackle is disconnected before the tension on the spring is relieved, or any number of other things that can go wrong, serious injury could result.
Lay the spreader on top of the front axle and slide the chisels out to contact the springs at the eyes.

 Granular Spreader Calibration for Lawn Care
A drop spreader is usually more precise and has a more uniform application pattern than a rotary spreader.
Rotary spreaders cover a wide swath and thus cover a given area more quickly, but they can be less precise in uniformity and distribution.
The pattern ends abruptly at the end of the spreader; so for a uniform application, be careful not to leave a gap between spreader swaths.
