MAINTENANCE AND CARE
NORMAL MAINTENANCE
The BOGBALLE machine is manufactured in such a way that it requires a minimum
of maintenance.
In the construction it is considered that cleaning and lubrication can be completed
quickly and thoroughly – without taking apart the machine.
The surface treatment consists of a robust powder paint – in addition all essential
wear parts and bolt assemblings are made of stainless steel.
Many of the components of the machine are greased once and need no extra
maintenance, for instance the central and angle gears of the transmission.
The maintenance mentioned below is absolutely necessary!
”If the machine is maintained – it will still be new - in 5 years!”
”If the machine is not maintained – it will be old – next year!”
The machine must always be thoroughly cleaned after use. The cleaning
should be done with water perhaps with soap in it. When using a high-
pressure cleaner only use low pressure and do not clean direct on the axle
seals of the transmission.
Do not use grease-removing cleaning liquid – without giving the
machine – just after drying – an application of anti corrosion oil.

It is strongly recommended to grease the machine - BEFORE using it
first time. Remember always to grease all of the machine in a
corrosion protecting liquid (for instance oil). It is not sufficient just to wash
the machine.
•Without protection, rust might arise within a few hours in
areas, where the paint has been damaged – because fertiliser
salts hold acid and is therefore most corrosive.
Any paint damage should be cleaned and painted. A possibility could also be to treat
the damage by Tectyl or a similar product.
Please consider that cleaning products and corrosion protecting
liquids might include dissolvents that might dissolve the glue fixing the
transfers.

SPECIAL MAINTENANCE, Friction clutch


The transmission of the machine is equipped with friction/overload
clutch.
The friction clutch is a most important component protecting against
overload – and a damaged transmission / PTO- shaft.
The friction clutch protects especially the reversible gear system
of the Trend transmission. The Trend-system is based on an
inpact clutch.
The friction clutch must be maintained, and it must be checked,
that it is not corroded.
The friction clutch must ”slip” at START of the tractor PTO.
If the clutch does not slip – the transmission will be damaged.
The friction clutch ”slips” approx. 1-2 turns at START of the tractor PTO. This reduces
the load on the components of the transmission to approx. 1/10 of the load to which the
transmission is exposed, if the coupling is not able to ”slip”.
As principal rule the coupling must be separated and cleaned if
the machine has not been used for more than 6 months.
Alternatively minimum once a year.
It is always necessary to START the tractor PTO
”slowly / smoothly”!
GUIDANCE ON HOW TO CLEAN THE FRICTION CLUTCH.
Demount the 6 bolts of the clutch – and the clutch is
separated.
Clean all the ”slip sur-
faces” for rust (perhaps
with a wire brush) – and
reassemble the bolts.
If needed replace the
clutch plates.
The clutch surfaces should not
be greased with oil/grease!
The friction clutch’s bolts are tightened by a torque wrench:
The splined axle has to slip at:
60 N/m
180 – 220 N/m
2 coupling plates

Note
C)
If the agitators are overgreased, a high pressure might restrict the rotation of the
agitator bearing. If this is the case the lubricator nipple must be demounted, which
will release the pressure. Grease sparingly – e.g. one pump/season.
PARTS GREASED ONCE:
The central and angle gears are filled with special grease and needs
no lubrication.
GENERAL
A new machine will always ”move” a little bit in all nuts +bolts.
Therefore all nuts and bolts of the machine must be retightened
- first time it is put into operation - after 5 to 8 hours’ operation.
Exception is the bolts in the central and angle gears – these are
locked with lock-tite.
Be aware that stainless nuts + bolts might ”weld together” When
mounting such bolts – the thread must be greased with cutting
lubricant or copper grease !
SPREADING VANES
The spreading vanes are manufactured of high quality manganese
steel, MN12. (MN 12 has a hardness corresponding to 3 times the hardness of
stainless steel).
But still the vanes will be worn due to modern and abrasive fertilisers.
Therefore the vanes must be considered a wear part – that must be
exchanged dependent on the quantity / type of fertiliser.
Always clean contact surfaces of the vanes and the spreading
disc for dust etc – before mounting and tightening the vane !
IF HOLES ARE WORN IN THE VANES THEY MUST BE
EXCHANGED AT ONCE!

GUARANTEE / RESPONSIBILITY
•Claim conditions are according to Danish legislation. Service and repair are
made free of cost within 12 months from date of purchase on the following
conditions:
•That the failure is due to construction or material faults
(Normal wear, missing maintenance and misuse not included).
•That the failure is not due to not original components / equipments.
•That persons with no technical knowledge to the machine have not tried to repair.
•Compensation for person or crop injury do not fall on the supplier.
GENERALLY
This machine is intended for spreading all common types of fertiliser.
Spreading of other flowing materials might also be possible. If so we draw the
attention to data list of the material concerned in order to determine possible safety
or health measures to be taken.
If the machine is used for spreading material which is not defined in the spread
charts for the spreader, the manufacturer of the machine can never be held
responsible.
SAFETY and PROTECTION
The transmission system of the machine:
PTO shaft, friction clutch and spreading discs w/vanes – must be considered”as
dangerous”, and absolute care must be taken with these machine parts, especially
in connection with rotation of the tractor PTO system.
DO NOT LEAVE THE TRACTOR CABIN – WITHOUT STOPPING THE PTO
SYSTEM OF THE TRACTOR!
Except when you have to calibrate the machine.
•Never go behind the machine – with rotating spreading discs.
•Never go under the machine – with rotating spreading discs.
•Never clean the machine - with rotating spreading discs.
•Never put hand/object into the hopper – with rotating spreading discs.
•Always check that the spreading vanes are correctly fixed.
•Check that the protection tubes of the PTO are intact.
•Check that the security chain of the PTO is fixed.
•Check that top link and top link pins are intact and secured by lynch pin.
•Check that lift arms and link pins are secured by lynch pin.

SPREADING SYSTEM
The BOGBALLE spreading system is base on an Integrated Center System – ICS,
where the spreading discs of the machine during NORMAL spreading – rotate
against each other – and spread in an angle on 180°, with full overlap.
The spreading system can with optimum fertilisers manage full overlap, on spread
width up to 28 metres.
This means in practice that right and left spreading disc form two opposite spread
patterns – overlapping each other.
Each spreading disc spreads the full spreading width. That means that the fertiliser
from the two spreading discs A and B – overlap each other. The spread width is
with good fertilisers - twice as wide as the distance between the tramlines - up to
28 metres.
This way you achieve a 4-double overlap – which ensures a most even distribution
of the fertiliser.
As shown in the diagram the spreading is made from the
present tramline – to the middle of the next two tramlines.
The spreading system is developed in such a way that
you are able to spread the fertiliser with a minimum of
machine setting.
This means in practice that you get a uniform distribution – no matter
which type of fertiliser and without special settings.
The BOGBALLE machine is therefore only equipped with one setting
handle – for setting the quantity.

SETTING SYSTEM
The setting system consists of a scale pointer, different connection rods and
outlet shutters.
SETTING POINTER, Hydraulic / CALIBRATOR.
➊& ➋
The connection rod of the setting pointer must
be mounted / adjusted in such a way, that the
shutters of the spreader are closed - when the
setting pointer is placed on the scale ciffer ”0”.
(approx. 0,5 mm. opening)
The adjustment is made on the connection rod.
➌
As standard the connection rod is mounted in position (Ø10 mm.)
In case very large quantities being used on 28 - 42 metres' spread width, a +40% /
-40% connection rod (Ø12 mm.) can be used as option.
Same connection rod is used for very small quantities (Ø8 mm.).
ADJUSTMENT SHUTTERS
The shutters in the adjustment system are factory set so
that the machine distributes the fertiliser symmetrically.
That means that the fertiliser is shared in equal quantities
to each side of the machine.
The adjustment shutters must be adjusted so that the
shutters close exactly in the middle of the V-mark of
the bottom plate.
Normally you should not adjust the 4 connection rods
connecting the adjustment axle of the machine and the
shutters of the machine. These connection rods should
only be adjusted in case the system has been
dismantled and therefore misadjusted.
The setting is of great importance for the symmetry of the spread pattern.
Be aware that the adjustment shutters do not open equally in comparison to the V-
mark. This assymmetric function ensures automatic adjustment of the feed point
for precise spreading.

OUTLET SHUTTERS
The machine’s hopper bottom is equipped with a turnable outlet shutter for right
and left side respectively.
The outlet shutter can be locked in three different positions.
0 Closed outlet (Calibration / rest emptying)
1 Normal outlet (For fertiliser)
2 Reduced outlet (For micro granules)
”2” .is only used if stated in the contents page of the spread chart.
The outlet shutters are set by pressing the handle
(A) against the hopper – and at the same time turn
the outlet shutter to the required position. The
handle locks the shutter in the U- cut.
FUNCTION
•The Trend sytem gives distribution of fertiliser a totally new dimension, where
PRECISION, USER FRIENDLINESS and RELIABILITY, are the three main
areas in which BOGBALLE M() / M()W – differs most essentially from the other
products in the market.
•The Trend system is the only transmission in the market with
reversible rotation direction.
The reversible rotation direction gives the optimum result for use of the
rotation direction, … towards the centre is most suitable for spreading on
the main area on the field, NORMAL spreading – and the reverse rotation
direction is most suitable for HEADLAND spreading at field borders.
…..high PRECISION is achieved, no matter which type of
spreading !

•The Trend system ensures an optimum result, with a minimum of setting.
•The transmission of the machine with reversible rotation direction
together with the double function of the spreading vane ensure that the
spreader can be transformed from NORMAL spreading to HEADLAND
speading – by making only one change.
•The full 180°overlap is the key reason for achieving an optimum
NORMAL spread pattern – without other setting of the machine.
Therefore neither the length or the angle of the vane must be adjusted.
Also no side adjustmnet is necessary.
•The feed point of the machine is automatically shifted in comparison to
the quantity of fertiliser spread. This means that the feed point need
not be set.
…..high USER FRIENDLINESS is achieved, no matter which spreading!
•The design of the machine ensures maximum flexibility – without
making compromises.
•The slow rotating agitators of the machine prevents ”crushing” of the
fertiliser. The agitators are mounted directly on the axles of the
spreading discs, which means that the rotation is directly transferred –
and not through chains, belts etc. The agitators are not ”driven forcibly”
and the excentric movement means that the ”efficiency / function” of
the agitator is automatically adapted to the character of the fertiliser, so
that you will always have an even quantity – no matter how fastrunning
the fertilsier is, no matter how much fertiliser is in the hopper an no
matter in which angle the spreader is tilted (the angle of the spreader in
comparison to horizontal).
•The spreading discs of the machine have a diameter of 600 mm, which
ensures together with the shape of the vanes that one and same
machine is able to spread from 12 to 42 metres, with quantities from
0,35 to 400 kg/min.
•All the ”key parts” of the machine are made of stainless steel. This
includes also the parts that are painted (for instance the bottom of the hopper).
An exception is the spreading vanes which are for wear resistance
made of manganese steel (MN12).
•All the components of the machine are powder painted – before
assembly – and only stainless steel bolts are used.
…..high RELIABILITY, in all circumstances!

PTO- SPEED
When spreading fertilisers with low grain strength (< 2,0
kg), the PTO speed is lowered to 450 rpm.
In such cases the PTO speed will be indicated in the
spread chart for the fertiliser in question.
 The machine has however at spread widths lower than 24 metres and when
spreading granular fertilisers, so much ”power surplus”, that deviations of ±5 %
(between 515 and 565 rpm.) will have no serious influence on the spreading result.
REMEMBER !
Consider a ”slow / smooth” START of the tractor PTO - with the tractor
idling!
ALWAYS STOP THE TRACTOR PTO – WHEN CHANGING THE
ROTATION DIRECTION !
Check that the PTO has a correct length in order not to damage the
transmissionCheck that the PTO has a correct length!

TILT ANGLE
The machine must be ”tilted” as indicated in the spread chart. The tilt angle
is important for the spread width and is – besides the quantity setting – in
reality the only setting to be done on the machine.
Setting the tilt angle optimizes of the spread pattern – which means in
practice that a minimum variation coefficient (Vk) is achieved.
(See ”Examples of NORMALspread patterns”)
If you doubt, it is better to tilt the machine TOO MUCH – than too little!
In case the fertiliser quantity is changed (±Kg/Ha, for instance with CALIBRATOR or cable
control) – it will not influence the spread pattern seriously.

WORKING HEIGHT–STANDARD
Mount the spreader horizontally – or tilted
according to the statement in the spread
chart in question.
The tilt angle is adjusted on the top link of
the tractor and the present angle is seen
on the degree meter of the spreader.

Spread chart
The pointer of the degree meter is set
to the tilt angle stated in the spread

Afterwards the machine is tilted by
adjusting the top link of the tractor –
until the level of the degree meter is in

•The link pins of the spreader
are moved to the lowest
position in order to lift the
machine as much as possible.
This will minimize the risk of
damage to the crop.

QUANTITY SETTING, Spread chart / Internet: www.bogballe.com
The spread chart for M() is identical to the EX chart.
Spread chart for M()(+40%) is identical with EX(2)-chart. (Quantity + 40%).
If case the machine is not equipped with CALIBRATOR, the quantity setting is made
on the basis of the instructions in the spread chart.
It must be noted that the spread chart is only a guide, because the quantity spread
depends on the exactness of the driving speed and the tramline distance, but also
of the quality of the fertiliser in question.
The fertiliser will change character according to temperature, air humidity and often
varies with each delivery.
If an exact quantity is required (Kg/Ha), it is recommended to CALIBRATE the
machine by use of the BOGBALLE rate check kit. (See the paragraph ”USE OF RATE
CHECK KIT”)

Refer to the appropriate chart for the material to be spread for the settings required.

Vane type:
E-1 corresponds to E1 T (L/R)
E-2 corresponds to E2 T (L/R)
E-6 corresponds to E6 T (L/R)
E-8 corresponds to E8 T (L/R)
U-1 corresponds to U1 T (L/R)
The quantity (Kg/Ha) is set by the scale pointer of the
machine.
The setting system is equipped with a scale and a scale
stop with stepless movement – and fixed in the inverval
from 0 to 9 and with ”marks” for each 0,25 scale step.
The example shows the scale stop set to ”0”, corresponding
to a closed outlet of the machine.

VANE / SPREAD WIDTH Setting U- cut
The spreading vanes are made in such a way that they are mounted in POS. 1-2, no
matter which type of fertiliser is used – and no matter which quantity is spread. This
means in practice that the spreading vane should only be ”moved / demounted” in case
a calibration or emptying of the hopper is made.
Take care that the vanes are mounted and fixed correctly !
The vanes are TYPE- MARKED respectively:
”R” (Right) For right spreading disc – seen from behind
”L” (Left) For left speading disc – seen from behind
E( )T-R
E( )T-L
The vane TYPE is chosen in relation to the required spread width and/or fertiliser type.
Below is shown spread width / vane type for the main fertiliser types in the market.
If there are deviations from this it will appear on the spread chart in question.
VANE TYPE SPREAD WIDTH MARK
Trend (Normal / headland vane) E1T 12 – 18 metres E1T R or L respectively
Trend (Normal / headland vane) E2T 20 – 24 metres E2T R or L respectively
Trend (Normal / headland vane) E6T 28 – 36 metres E6T R or L respectively
Trend (Normal / headland vane) E8T – 42 metres E8T R or L respectively
Trend (Normal / headland vane) U1T 12 – 18 metres U1T R or L respectively
The vanes are mounted as standard in POS. 1-2
When mounting the fixing bolt must be pulled fully out
into the U-shaped cut before tightening the nut.
If in special cases it is
necessary to mount
the vanes in an
alternative position –
this will appear from
the spread chart in
question.

FUNCTION OF SPREADING VANE
The spreading vane is a key part of the machine – for which reason it is ver
y
important to mount the vanes correctly – and that they are intact.
The Trend system is using both sides of the spreading vanes with: FRONT
SIDE for NORMAL- spreading – and in connection with reversing the rotation
direction the BACK SIDE is used for HEADLAND- spreading.
NORMALspreading

•The very special shape of the vane ensures that at NORMAL spreading –
the fertiliser is following the total vane length – and 180°overlap is
achieved.
HEADLAND spreading

At HEADLAND spreading the fertiliser stream passes through the vane –
which reduces the fertiliser speed – therefore the spread width towards
headland is reduced – and adapted to the distance between tramlines and
border with 110°overlap.
It is very important that the spreading vanes are intact. This means that the
vanes should not be deformed and that no ”holes” are worn.
If there is rust/paint on the surface of the vanes – it will influence the spread
pattern. The fertiliser will grind away the rust – after spreading 100 – 200 Kg.

NORMALspreading is made with
the FRONT SIDE – of the
spreading vane – and with the
spreading discs rotating towards

HEADLAND spreading is made with the

and with the rotation of the spreading
discs away from each other.

The Trend SYSTEM….. will basically:
”Use the rotation direction which is most suitable for NORMAL spreading
……and HEADLAND spreading respectively.”
This means in practice that the system ensures with NORMAL rotation direction,
full overlap at NORMAL spreading on the main area of the field ……and a limited
spread pattern with single overlap towards the border at headland spreading – with
reversed rotation direction.
ALWAYS STOP PTO – WHEN CHANGING THE ROTATION DIRECTION !
ALWAYS START PTO SLOWLY / SMOOTHLY !
