Salford BBI MagnaSpread 3

The leader in precision, with three independently controlled hoppers. Get the most from variable-rate technology spreading with MagnaSpread 3. Equipped with Salford BBI’s Binary Manifold, making connections to your precision agriculture electronics a snap*.

MagnaSpread 3 features Salford BBI’s patented multi-hopper design that enables three hoppers to operate independently, all controlled by variable-rate technology. MagnaSpread 3’s earliest adopters have successfully spread up to seven nutrients simultaneously.

In a single pass in the field, MagnaSpread 3 can deliver on producer-level farms what single-hopper offerings normally do in two to three passes. That saves two to four days of application time for every 1,000 acres fertilized, as well as hundreds of gallons of fuel saved.

MagnaSpread 3 buys you time to accomplish other tasks, leaving more profit in your pocket. MagnaSpread3 enables business-savvy farmers to extract full value from their agronomic data, employing high-level soil chemistry to its full potential by blending nutrients to the precise specifications of field agronomists. With all of its smart technology in tow, MagnaSpread 3 still delivers toughness with a 14-ton walking-beam suspension. This multi-hopper field genius is available in truck-mount and pull-type models, with state-of-the-art electrostatic paint and Salford BBI’s commitment to quality construction that shines through every nut, bolt, and grease fitting.

COVER CROPS

Salford's BBI MagnaSpread2 and MagnaSpread3 ideally suited for applying cover crop seed and fertilizer in one pass.  The individual hoppers allow the seed to be stored separately from the fertilizer and they can be metered into one blend in the field.  The MagnaSpread2 and MagnaSpread3 are able to accurately apply lower rates of cover crop seed by mixing the cover crop with fertilizer into a high rate blend and applying them in the same pass.  In areas with a warm fall with suitable moisture a fall applied cover crop will establish itself quickly and begin to fix the applied fertilizer almost immediately.  For best seeding results a light tillage pass with equipment such as the Salford I-Series will help to establish the cover crop and promote rapid germination by improving seed to soil contact.
