Cargo Chassis
The Ferti-CARGO HORIZON is the flagship product of the range of JOSKIN muck spreaders with wide body and spreading table. Their basic concept is based on the Ferti-SPACE2 with vertical beaters and has the same basic principles: lightness, sturdiness and easy maintenance. Both durable and extremely maneuverable, the Ferti-CARGO also proves to be economical, both from a budgetary and energy point of view. Thanks to the wide body with bolted spreading table, it can be converted into a silage trailer. In short: a real multi-talent in XL version!
CARGO implements are equipped as standard with a TWIST-LOCK "implement-chassis" coupling system, but also with “push-pull” hydraulic connectors for a quick change of the implements. As the ISOBUS technology is present on both implements and chassis, the whole system can be controlled directly via the tractor's terminal. So everything has been thought of to make your life as easy as possible!
The storage areas for the implements vary and are not always perfectly flat. That is the reason why the 4 storing stands are adjustable. In this way, your Ferti-CARGO HORIZON implement can be unhitched in any situation, so that the chosen area is sufficiently load-bearing.
The monocoque body as well as various other components, such as the drawbar and the beater frame, are made of high tensile steel. This steel is characterised by its resistance and dynamic properties. It is thereby not necessary to add any body side reinforcements and it offers a considerably reduced empty weight. For maximum protection and therefore an increased durability, the Ferti-CARGO HORIZON is also treated with a 2K industrial paint. The 1,050-mm or 1,350-mm high body (depending on the model) has a loading capacity from 18,42 m³ to 27.20 m³ (or even more if extensions are added). The moving floor consists of 4 Ø 14 mm marine chains with grade 80 (the highest grade in traction chains currently available) bolted to slats with (galvanised) closed profiles. It moves on a bolted galvanised floor, which can be replaced easily in case of wear. The moving floor is fitted with side tensioners that are easily accessible. The pulleys of the tensioners are made of cast iron and both moving floors are fitted with a central separator. Under the body there is a central corridor housing the hydraulic pipes as well as the electrical wiring in order to protect them from any contact with the transported material. In this way, the body forms a straight channel leading the manure towards the beaters. Since the spreading unit is wider (both inside and outside) than the body, the product can be distributed over the entire surface before being crumbled by the beaters and spread evenly by the spreading table.
All Ferti-CARGO HORIZON muck spreaders are equipped as standard with the ISOBUS management system to control all electrohydraulic functions of the machine: moving floor, flow metre, weighing system, guillotine door, limitation boards, etc. Thanks to its advanced level of technology, this control automatically regulates the moving floor speed based on the data supplied by the weighing system, ensuring a highly accurate flow rate of the material.
The spreading width varies from 12 to 22 m, depending on the products to be spread. To achieve it, two horizontal beaters (Ø 600 mm on Ø 140 mm tube) rotate at a speed of 320 rpm to crumble the material that is brought to them. The teeth are in S700MC special steel (230 x 50 mm) and bolted for an easy replacement in case of wear. The crumbled material is projected against the closed spreading canopy to finally fall on the spreading discs (Ø 1,040 mm) rotating at a 500-rpm speed. The 6 adjustable vanes on the discs spread all the finely crumbled material evenly over a large width. If the material is too fibrous (such as fresh manure), the spreading canopy can be opened to 90° and allow the spreading work to be carried out mainly by the beaters. The beaters and the discs are driven by a wide-angle Walterscheid P.T.O.-shaft with overrunning clutch on the tractor side and cam security on the beaters side. The shaft drives a speed-increasing gearbox (Rögelberg) at 1,000 rpm, to which the two beaters and spreading discs are coupled. The spreading unit of the Ferti-CARGO HORIZON is very high in order to ensure an easy passage and crumbling of any potential dome of material in the body.
