Short report from the DLG (German agricultural society) regarding the MOESCHA spreader „Special“ (Prüfbericht 4956)
	Inspection criteria	Test result	Evaluation
	Fixing	easily applicable for slurry, pump, and compressor tankers	+
	Throughput	the share of dry solid matter may be up to 20% without causing problems, as long as the slurry is well intermixed before spreading	+
	Spreading width [@1 bar pressure]	by adjusting the end stops, the maximum rotation angle is changed, resulting in a spreading width from 11.5m up to 17.5m	+
		no special partial setting in width possible	O
	Spreading precision	diagonally to the direction of travel: good / very good	+/++
		in the direction of travel: good / satisfactory, dependent on the tanker	o/+
	Influence of wind	Until wind force 3, the influence on the spreading precision is within acceptable limits	+
	Metering	just right even for applying lower quantities of liquid manure, dependent on the tanker	+
	Driving speed	the speed should not exceed 6 km/h (3.7 mph) to avoid non-uniform spreading (straps)	-
	Emission of odor and ammonia	without immediately incorporating the liquid manure, a significant emission of odor and ammonia may occur	O
	Operational reliablity	good, no problems occured	+
	Handling	easy, no efforts after initial set-up	+
	Cleaning and maintainance	easy, little effort	+
	Durability	good	+
	Manual	short and comprehensible	+
	Dosing table	existing	+

The working safety has been confirmed by the DPLF. (DPLF = German test center for agriculture and forest engineering).
A survey conducted by DLG among 51 farmers which used the spreader for up to 5 years confirmed the experiences of this test.
In average, these farmers applied 3 Mio liters of liquid manure per year with the spreader. 94% of the farmers performed the initial set-up by themselves, and 92% of them rated this as simple. 94% of the farmers rated the spreading precision as good or even very good. In some farmsteads, the dry substance content was very high, reducing the working width. This could even result in an irregular swiveling action.
100% of those questioned consent in a good / very good overall evaluation result of the MOESCHA spreader. All of them would by the same spreader again.
