When is an AXENT the right choice?
The AXENT is the right choice when different types of fertiliser need to be applied precisely over large areas using a single machine. The key technical advantage lies not only in the large hopper capacity, but also in the system comprising the base machine and a specialised PowerPack: for granular mineral fertilisers, the AXENT uses AXIS spreading technology, whilst for wet lime and organic fertilisers it employs a separate universal spreading unit. This means that instead of attempting to spread all materials using a compromise spreader, each material is spread using the technology best suited to it.
What makes the AXENT technically special?
The AXENT combines two different spreading concepts in a single machine. The AXIS PowerPack is hydraulically driven and designed for high spreading precision with granular fertilisers. The Universal PowerPack is also hydraulically driven, but distributes wet lime as well as powdery or organic fertilisers via a different material feed and metering logic.
When is an AXENT more suitable than a conventional large-area spreader?
An AXENT is the right choice when you regularly switch between mineral fertilisers and lime or organic fertilisers. In this case, it replaces two specialised solutions: a precise spreading system for granular fertilisers and a separate spreading unit for more challenging materials. This saves changeover time and avoids compromises in metering and spread pattern.
Which farms is the AXENT best suited to?
The AXENT is particularly suited to large arable farms and contractors requiring high output, frequent changes of material and the need to apply both mineral fertiliser and lime or pellets with precision. The series is specifically designed for this large-area segment, with a hopper capacity of 9,400 litres and a working width of 18–50 metres.
Frequently asked questions about the AXENT’s technology
How does the AXIS PowerPack work on the AXENT?
The AXIS PowerPack is the hydraulically driven spreading unit for granular fertilisers. The conveyor belt fills a pre-chamber above the spreading discs. From there, the EMC metering electronics control the metering slides separately on the left and right. This is precisely the technical reason why the AXENT achieves not only high area coverage but also the typical AXIS precision when spreading mineral fertiliser.
How does the Universal PowerPack work for lime and organic fertilisers?
With the Universal PowerPack, the material runs directly from the conveyor belt onto the robust spreading discs. This prevents blockages. Here, metering is not carried out via metering slides as with the AXIS PowerPack, but via the conveyor belt speed depending on the driving speed and the desired application rate. In addition, a standard combing roller ensures a continuous flow of material onto the discs, thereby significantly improving spreading accuracy, particularly with wet lime and powdery materials.
How is precision ensured with mineral fertiliser on the AXENT?
When applying mineral fertiliser, the AXENT utilises the well-known AXIS technology with EMC, VariSpread and OptiPoint. EMC controls the application rate separately on the left and right and reacts more quickly to flow fluctuations than solutions that operate solely via load cells. The AXENT 90.1 is also available in variants with SpeedServo actuators and section control, right up to VariSpread pro in 1-metre increments.
What are the technical differences between the AXENT 90.1 and the AXENT 100.1?
The AXENT 90.1 is the deliberately simpler solution with M-Drive and a drive shaft with a star ratchet clutch at 540 rpm. It utilises the mounted AXIS-M spreading technology with EMC, GPS-Control, VariSpread and OptiPoint. The AXENT 100.1 is the more extensively equipped version with H-Drive, AXIS and Universal PowerPack, as well as variants with a rigid axle or steering axle. Both operate in the same size range, but differ clearly in terms of technical sophistication and flexibility in material application.
AXENT 90.1 vs AXENT 100.1 – which spreader is better?
The choice between the AXENT 90.1 and the AXENT 100.1 depends less on tank capacity or working width than on the desired level of technology and range of materials. Both models offer a tank capacity of 9,400 litres and a working width of 18–50 metres. The main difference lies in how straightforward or flexible the system needs to be in day-to-day use.
When is an AXENT 90.1 sufficient?
The AXENT 90.1 is the right choice if the AXENT concept is to be used as a solution for large areas, but the machine is allowed to remain deliberately simple in technical terms. It operates with M-Drive, i.e. a mechanical drive via a drive shaft, whilst also offering many AXIS functions such as EMC, VariSpread and OptiPoint. This ensures it remains highly effective for mineral fertiliser application without the base machine becoming overly complex.
When is the AXENT 100.1 the better choice?
The AXENT 100.1 is the better choice if, in addition to granular fertilisers, wet lime or organic fertilisers are also to be applied regularly. Its greatest practical advantage is the combination of the AXIS PowerPack and the Universal PowerPack. Added to this are the more robust base machine, H-Drive and the versions with a rigid axle or steering axle.
What is the biggest difference in practice?
In practice, the biggest difference is not the size, but the type of specialisation. The AXENT 90.1 is the robust, technically streamlined large-area solution for precise mineral fertilisation with AXIS technology. The AXENT 100.1 is the more flexible system machine when different materials need to be applied without any loss of quality and using suitable spreading units.
