Fertiliser spreader expert Rauch – which supplies Kuhn – has “leaked” that its new twin-disc spreader will be launched just in time to take full advantage of John Deere’s E-Premium development – being the world’s first spreader with electrically-driven discs.

On show at Agritechnica, the new Axis EDR (Electric DRive) comes on the market next year with a 1200-litre hopper and maximum spread width of 42m.

 Electrical power means control of the disc speed is now infinite. Disc stop at headlands is immediate, spreading action is continually uniform and operation is smoother and quieter.

Agritechnica takes place in Hanover, Germany from 13th-17th Nov.

Flights leave from Stansted, Manchester and Birmingham.
The Agritechnica website has details of accommodation.
If you don’t have time to organise it yourself contact the Agricultural Travel Bureau – 01636 705612. A typical two night stay with flights will cost in the region of £340.
Admission to the show costs 20 euros (Students 10 euros).
