Variable applications of four fertilisers in one pass

Individual variable rate application of up to 4 crop nutrients is possible with the latest self-propelled dry fertiliser spreader from John Deere.

Powered by a 9-litre Deere PowerTech engine channelling up to 400hp through a continuously variable transmission, the F4365 is said to operate faster more comfortably thanks to leaf-spring axle suspension front and rear.

  • Latest US market self-propelled spreader from John Deere is designed to work faster and with increasing carrying capacity for higher output potential

Field speeds up to 48kph (30mph) and road speeds up to 74kph (46mph) are available, which together with a larger New Leader body of 9.3cu m (330cu ft) capacity, results in an overall increase in output potential.

The plain or painted stainless-steel bin is available with up to 4 compartments for spreading straights and micronutrients in combination.

  • A larger – 9.3cu m (330cu ft) – body from New Leader is available in single- to four-product configurations

Conveyor belts deliver product to the rear-mounted stainless steel discs, which can spread suitable material at widths of 18-27m (60-90ft) and at rates suited to both fertiliser and lime.

Spreading is regulated by the SpreadStar rate control system and a Deere 4600 in-cab display provides variable rate, data recording and fleet management functions, while JDLink Connect enables wireless data transfer and remote service adviser to be used.

A new cab – the CommandView III from Deere’s larger tractors – is said to provide quieter and more comfortable operator accommodation, with improved seat swivel and new remote cameras giving operators a better view of the field and dry box, and of the material being spread.

  • Suspension front and rear, a 400hp six-cylinder engine and IVT (infinitely variable transmission) drive gives the F4365 speeds of up to 48kph (30mph) in the field, 74kph (46mph) on the road
