Field performance: experience with the RMD spreader

When you head out for winter crop fertilizing, the first thing you appreciate about equipment from Orikivsilmash is its predictability. The RMD mineral fertilizer spreader is designed to avoid headaches during the busy season. I personally like how simple it is to adjust the application rate: you don't need to be an engineer to set the dosage range correctly. The feed mechanism works precisely, and the shutters don't jam even when working with less-than-perfect granular blends.

Maintenance and serviceability

For an operator, access to components is critical. On this model, all drive elements are within easy sight. If you need to perform off-season maintenance or replace a bearing, you don't have to dismantle half the frame. The hopper metal withstands significant loads, and the anti-corrosion coating is the first thing worth checking upon purchase. My advice: wash the discs and shutters after every use, and the Orikivsilmash equipment will last much longer than its standard lifespan.

• Reliable PTO drive that doesn't sap unnecessary tractor power.
• Disc geometry allows for wide coverage, reducing the number of passes through the field.
• Great balance: even at full load, the tractor maintains stable steering on headlands.

Of course, like any field equipment, the RMD requires a watchful eye. Tightening bolt connections before heading out is a standard rule. However, compared to imported analogs, the cost of ownership is significantly lower here. When spare parts are affordable and readily available, equipment downtime is kept to a minimum. This is a reliable work tool that simply does its job without any unnecessary electronic frills.
