2024 Maschio Gaspardo Primo E 213

PRIMO is MASCHIO GASPARDO flagship model for fertilization operations. The range is available in three versions: PRIMO M (with manual distribution control), PRIMO E (with continuous electronic distribution control) and PRIMO EW (with electronic distribution control and continuous weighing). The E-EW versions are also available in the ISOTRONIC version, MASCHIO GASPARDO’s ISOBUS communication protocol.

Ease of use and setting are the characteristics that distinguish PRIMO fertilizer spreader. The double shutter system guarantees unique precision. The lower shutter regulates the flow of product to the disc, while the upper one interrupts or restarts the distribution (ON/OFF). At the beginning and end of the field, the possibility of acting only on one shutter (the ON/OFF one), guarantees a unique promptness of response that reduces underdosing at the beginning of the field and overdosing at the headland. This makes PRIMO one of the most accurate fertilizer spreaders on the market. Furthermore, the possibility of varying the working width by acting on the point where the fertilizer falls on the disc, instead of adjusting the vanes of the discs, makes the fertilizer spreader quick and easy to adjust.

The 1,411 lbs/min distribution system, one of the highest in the category, combined with the hopper that allows loading up to 7,055 lbs and the maximum working width of 118.1 ft, ensure high hourly yields, increasing productivity and minimising accessory times.

PRIMO E ISOTRONIC and PRIMO EW ISOTRONIC versions, with ISOBUS communication system with internally developed and AEF certified software, were developed for precision farming allowing the management of the variable dose (VR), of spreading sections (SC) and the possibility of importing-exporting work data. The ON/OFF and dose adjustments are controlled by electric actuators, to always guarantee maximum distribution precision. The drop point control can be adjusted manually, or automatically on request (SECTION CONTROL PRO) which allows both the adjustment of the working width and the control of the sections. In the presence of an already treated area, the automatic closure of the sections (4 left and 4 right) maximises distribution efficiency without waste or damage to the crop.

Features may include:

Thanks to the possibility to adjust the fertilizer delivery point on the spreading disc, it is possible to act in a simple, effective and intuitive way on the working width, optimising the distribution quality.

The multi-arm head has a shape designed to convey the fertilizer towards the distribution system. Inside it, the “idle wheel” system controls the rotation, avoiding product breakage and damage to the head in the presence of external bodies..

In PRIMO E and PRIMO EW models, also available in the ISOTRONIC version, there is a load cell to read the quantity of fertilizer present in the hopper in real time. The on-board electronics calculate the amount of product distributed per unit of surface area and, if necessary, correct the flow to optimise the dose.

The sensor used has been tested to withstand high stresses and maintain maximum accuracy over time.

The support of the single distribution disc is equipped with a (patented) quick release system to allow the operator to intervene quickly to replace the disc. This simple and intuitive operation requires only the supplied tool.
