Reco had on show at Cereals 2011 for the first time Sulky’s Stop and Go system, mounted on an X36 fertiliser spreader.

The feature, which links into the boom section management function on the GPS lightbar, means operators no longer have to open and close shutters solely by eye.

So fertiliser is applied more accurately on headland areas and triangular parcels of land, as the distribution shutter closes automatically when the correct coverage level has been reached.

The price of the X36, complete with the new system, is £13,770.
