1 In order to reach a uniform distribution for a working width below 4 m, we recommend using a precision dispersion plate (see accessories)
ES 100 M3 Special
Just like the ES 100 M1 Classic, the ES 100 M3 Special is well suited for spreading catch crops, grass seeds, nurse crops, slug pellets and similar granules. With the integrated point of impact adjustment and the tilted spreading disc with special throwing vanes, you will achieve larger working widths and a more precise spreading pattern.
Functional Principle
The plastic hopper ensures the low weight of the entire spreader. It contains the spreading material, which securely reaches the metering shutter through an agitator. You can control the spread rate with the stepless metering shutter. The spreading material falls on the spreading disc and is distributed equally across the working width. The speed of the spreading disc and thus the working width are easy to set from the driver’s seat via the control box.
Application Areas of
ES 100 M3 Special
- Spreading of slug pellets and similar granules
- Spreading of catch crops (e.g.: mustard)
- Spreading of grass seeds and nurse crops
Accessories
Mounting kit towing hitch
With the help of this mounting kit, you are able to mount the APV Disc Spreader on a car equipped with a towing hitch.
Mounting kit quad bracket height-adjustable
Mount your Disc Spreader on your quad at the optimal height for your specific application.
Pick-up mounting bracket
Mount your Disc Spreader on the tailboard of your vehicle.

Power cable for tractors 8 m
The 8 m cable is screwed on the battery side directly with the battery poles and a 3-pin standard plug is mounted at the other end, which can be installed permanently in the tractor.
Precision dispersion plate 1 - 4 m working width
Limit the working width of your Disc Spreader to 1 to 4 m.
Extension cable ES MX 5 M
Extend your device cable in order to connect your Disc Spreader to the control box.
Accessory kit calibration bag ES with scale
Fully collect the seeds during the calibration test.
This calibration bag can only be used in combination with the guard bar fastened on the spreader.

7-pin signal cable
In case of proper tractor cabling of the signal plug1, the driving speed and the tractor linkage signal are recorded and displayed on the control box.
Cable length: 1,5 m
1 Attention: The signal plug must be designed and equipped tractor-side according to the norm. Signal cables are not suitable for John Deere tractors.
Tractor linkage upper bar sensor (accessory kit)
Optimally suited for 3-point mounted implements.
For mounting on a second top link hole. Function: mechanical operation of a spring rod. The metering shutter is automatically released or stopped (invertible).
Cable length: 3 m
Tractor linkage lower bar sensor (accessory kit)
For mounting on movable parts in headland. Function: contactless through a magnet. The metering shutter is automatically released or stopped (invertible).
Cable length: 5 m
Tractor linkage pull switch sensor (accessory kit)
For mounting on 3-point or on moving parts in headland. Function: pull operation through a spring. The metering shutter is automatically released or stopped (invertible).
Cable length: 5 m
Hydraulic tractor linkage sensor (accessory kit)
The sensor can be integrated into an implement on an existing hydraulic system (e.g.: lower bar cylinder). Function: operation through change of pressure in the hydraulic system. The metering shutter is automatically released or stopped. The switching pressure can be set between 20 to 50 bar.
Cable length: 5 m
Lateral distribution curve
When developing the ES 100 M3 Special, we mainly focused on two aspects: Optimisation for the output of slug pellets: In order to further improve the performance
of Disc Spreaders, particularly in connection with slug pellets, the throwing vane configuration and design were optimised in collaboration with the French institute IRSTEA. The results are great - best lateral distribution values even with maximum working widths. Our optimised device achieves a working width of up to 28 m with a variation coefficient that is smaller than 10 %.

Mr Egloff reports about the ES 100 M3 Special
,,You can use the spreader very well for the ATV, in addition I have built a roller. The spreader applies the set amount of fertiliser or seed very accurately. It also works very well with grass seed."
P. Egloff, farmer
Mr Dirks reports about the ES 100 M3 Special
"The spreader I mainly for spreading grass on my homemade harrow, on a curling roller or on the back of the quad. My areas are quite small, so I occasionally spread fertilizer with the spreader. I like the simple operation of the device, and also the fast adjustment of the speed. Since I only do farming as a sideline, a few years ago I decided to buy a good-looking used APV spreader instead of a new no-name product and do not regret this decision to this day!"
