| Abstract | ||||
| A new feeding system on spreader implement was evaluated for basic performance in the broadcasting mode through pattern testing under operating variables such as tractor forward speed, a group of spring specification and a regular of ball mass of governor under two-transmission system of spreader land wheel. The VICON pendulum spreader modified and prepared to wheat broadcast. It included hopper from fiberglass-reinforced polyester of 200 kg capacity, spreader width from 1-14 meter, hopper width of 1430 mm, filling height of 1020mm; net mass of 130kg and with 3-point linkage category II and power needed of 9kW. The bottom of the hopper exist included two discs. One of them is fixed and the others is moving. The fixed disc have a three holes which look like this in the moving disc adjusted manually before broadcasting operation to obtain a suitable open which gives a needed quantity of seeding and spout that oscillates from side to side in a horizontal plan to distribute seeds or other granular materials. Calibration tests evaluated in a laboratory and field tests carried out under Egyptian conditions. Results showed that, under laboratory tests, the optimum quantity of wheat seeds g/m2 was 16.3g/m2 at forward speed 4.5 km/h, the balancing masses of 200 g and the group transmission system of 18 teeth and the spring specification of 18.01 N/cm. The above parameters gives the best results because of their obtained a suitable centrifugal forces and suitable opening gate out area of feeding machine. Under field experiments, the minimum fuel consumption were recorded at ball mass governor of 375g, forward speed of 5.6 km/h, the spring specification of 18.01 N/cm and the transmission system teeth ratio18 teeth. On the other side, the minimum energy found under ball mass governor of 200g, forward speed of 4.6 km/h, the spring specification of 18.01 N/cm and the transmission system teeth ratio18 teeth. | ||||
