Australian
farming company Glenvar, based in Western Australia took
delivery earlier this year of the first Lowlander 350 Widebody
to be sold in the country. Since its launch in early 2008
the 350 has captured the imagination of large scale farmers
around the world.
Glenvar farms around 10,000 hectares 20 km North East of the
Wongan Hills. Minimal tillage techniques are used to enhance
soil conditions and produce premium quality grains.
The Lowlander Widebody 350 was specified with two horizontal
beaters and spinner deck mainly for the application of
poultry manure prior to seeding, but it will also spread
some cattle muck and lime. With a 3 meter wheel track the
spreader fits in with the companies controlled wheel/traffic
system.
A tri-axle arrangement, with the front and rear axles being
self steer, on 600/55 R22.5 tyres, ensures the 35 m3 load
capacity is carried reliably and with minimal compaction and
damage to the soil. A sprung drawbar, remote greasers and
box floor slats were also fitted to the machine.
