SULKY is now incorporating the ISOBUS solution into its DX range of fertiliser spreaders

SULKY’s ISOBUS offer has already been available on its X40+ and X50+ fertiliser spreaders for several years. It is now extending this offer to the DX30/DX30+ range of spreaders. All Sulky DX30 and DX30+ fertiliser spreaders with weighing and electrical control of the opening/closing of shutters may be connected to an ISOBUS Universal Terminal already present on the farm (compatibility with ISOBUS terminals referenced in the AEF database is guaranteed). The user of such equipment may now take advantage of all the ISOBUS functions such as application rate adjustment or section cut-off. In particular this section cut-off makes it possible to activate the Stop&Go function. This drives the automatic opening/closing of shutters in the headlands depending on the GPS position of the machine. Or even by 1⁄2 width in the points of the field to optimise the accuracy of fertiliser overlapping.

Simply adding an ISOLINK converter unit makes it possible to develop the fertiliser spreader into the ISOBUS version. This is a definite advantage when the fertiliser spreader is used by several people because it can be switched from ISOBUS to non-ISOBUS mode. In fact, one farmer can use his tractor's Universal Terminal with the ISOLINK whilst the second can use the Sulky fertiliser spreader in non-ISOBUS mode if he is not equipped. In this case he will choose the VISION control kit, already well-known for the Sulky weighing versions. This is a real advantage in terms of ease of use for the farmer and also a real argument when it comes to the resale of the machine.
