The DS20 offers of up to 5.6-m³ (200 cu ft), or 6.6 tons, of dry fertilizer, while the DS30 bumps capacity to 8.5 m³ (300 cu ft), or 9 tons, of dry fertilizer. Both models feature:

 

• Four-hour conversion from a liquid-application setup
• Variable-rate application ranging from 34 kg/ha (75 lb/acre) to 3 tons/acre
• Spread width of up to 32 m (105 ft) thanks to the 1.83-m (72-in.) spinner height
• New Leader G4 spinner technology for a consistent spread pattern and more uniform application
• Available in single or the MultApplier (dual product bins) in both the 304 stainless or 409 painted spreader construction with #4 belt-over-chain conveyor
• The G4 remains the only option for being fully integrated with the John Deere SpreadStar™ dry rate control system.
• New Leader G4 Edge and G5 are being added into the dry portfolio for model year 2024 machines.

The DS20 and DS30 provide up to 32-m (105-ft) spread widths and the adjustable spinner assembly allows for quick, accurate settings during variable-rate applications, broadcasting materials farther and wider with consistent spread patterns, and producing industry-leading productivity.

 

Depending on the model of Dry Spinner Spreader, you can achieve spread widths from 18.92 to 27.43 m (60 to 90 ft), but with the increased clearance of 1.74 m (68 in.) the 400R and 600R Dry Spinner Spreader can achieve spread widths from 21 to 32 m (70 to 105 ft). Added spread width increases the number of acres per day and decreases the number of passes, which also reduces fuel costs and compaction.

 

By maintaining spread width, operators can consistently place product throughout the fields and prevent bottlenecking of product at the row end. 

 

With a full spread pattern and reduced overlap through integrated technologies such as AutoTrac™ automated steering and John Deere Section Control, the 400R and 600R Dry Spinner Spreaders allow for full product coverage while reducing input costs from overlap. 

 

Additionally, by combining the John Deere 400R or 600R Dry Spinner Spreader chassis and the New Leader dry spinner spreader, operators can maintain spread widths even when rpms are reduced. John Deere's pressure-and-flow-compensated hydraulics allows operators to maintain spinner speed throughout each pass, while maintaining consistent spread width and pattern. This added height allows a greater trajectory at a lower spinner speed and has the ability for later season applications.

 

NOTE: With differences in fertilizer density, size, and crush strength a spread pattern test is the only way to measure a product's true spread width and pattern.

With the CommandDrive powertrain, save fuel, reduce cab noise, get improved traction in challenging conditions, and cover more acres per day. CommandDrive offers the operator an Auto Mode that automatically directs the engine to run at the lowest rpm necessary to maintain ground speed and hydraulic functions and to meet the demands of the solution system.

 

CommandDrive also allows operators to adjust the aggressiveness of acceleration and deceleration and features an Auto Idle system that reduces engine speed to 900 rpm when the machine is in park. It all adds up to:

• 20 percent or greater fuel savings
• More acres sprayed per day, thanks to fewer fuel stops and improved traction in rough conditions
• Reduced in-cab noise levels by 3to 5 decibels
• Fewer demands on the operator

 

CommandDrive is base equipment on all 408R, 410R, 412R, 612R, and 616R Sprayers, as well as 400R and 600R Dry Spinner Spreaders.
