1. Overview
This Manual
This manual explains the everyday use of the machine to the operator, including Spinner
Setup and Application Rate Charts.
Application
The Marshall Multispread 850TM, 880TM and 810TM Fertiliser Spreader will spread a wide
range of granular and non-granular fertilisers, from lime, gypsum and manures through to
granulated materials like superphosphate, urea and various seeds.
The machine is fitted with a Ground Driven Feed System. The feed of fertiliser to the
spinners, is driven by the jockey wheel which runs on the truck tyre. Application rates are
varied by changing the hopper door opening, the width of pass or the drive sprocket settings.
The twin 600mm spinners are driven from a 20HP spreader engine or optional hydraulic
spinner drive.
Turn off the spreader engine when making adjustments to the v-belts, drive sprockets and
feed door or when carrying out normal maintenance.
When servicing the gearbox, final drive sprockets and drive belts ensure that the plastic
guards are re-fitted to the spreader.
Do not stand or work near the spinners while they are rotating. Do not operate the spreader
within 50m of stock, property or personnel. Failure to do so can result in damage and injury.
Disconnecting the machine from the tractor drawbar when the hopper is partially empty will
cause the machine to overbalance and damage the spinners.
Please take notice of following information. Each of the stickers are located on your machine.
Forward speed is not to exceed 40km/h when machine unloaded and 25km/h when loaded
with product. Excess speed will increase the chances of rollovers and also effect the
accuracy of the spread pattern due to a slipstream effect.
Stay well clear of the hydraulic hoses and pipes that run the spinner and feed belt systems.
The machine is fitted with safety stickers, do not remove under any circumstances.
The engine is located at the front of the spreader as shown in Fig 1 below. A 12V battery is
fitted at the front of the spreader chassis, with a 40L fuel tank located on the passenger side.
The 20Hp engine Vee Belt drive is configured according to the chart below.
Fig 1
Machines that are fitted with an optional hydraulic spinner drive require an oil flow from the
tractor of 45 litres/min.
1. Connect the two hoses to the tractor couplings - the pressure hose is the one marked IN
on the spreader flow control valve.
2. Run the tractor until the oil has reached operating temperature and then increase the
tractor engine to full throttle and adjust the spreader flow valve so that the spinners are
running at 900RPM see Fig 2 on page 6. (To check the spinner RPM you will need a rev
counter.)
3. When the spinners are running at 900RPM with the tractor at full throttle, the tractor
engine speed should be lowered to where the spinners drop below 700RPM. (At this
point make note of this lower tractor engine speed, as you can work from this engine
speed up to full throttle without alerting the spinners RPM. Please see diagram below.
Fig 2 Fig 3
Application Rates are altered by changing the speed of the feed belt and feed door
opening. The feed belt speed is altered by using different drive sprocket combinations
The feed door opening is adjusted by the feed door shaft located at the rear of the machine
and is held in place by the feed door adjuster disc and spring loaded pin. (See Figure 3)
Refer to the charts in Section 8 of this manual for correct drive sprocket and feed door
settings for different fertiliser types.
The outer holes on the disc equate to 5mm of feed door movement. The inner set of
holes are used for fine adjustment in application rate and equate to 2.5mm of feed door
movement.
There are two different spinner vane configurations fitted to Marshall Multispread 800
Series machines. The spinner vane design determines the width and accuracy of the
machines spread pattern. Refer to Section 5 of this manual for details on the vane
configuration.
It is strongly advised, for all granulated and non-granulated products, that a trial run or
test is done to determine the best and most even spread width between passes, as wind
conditions and product consistency may vary.
1. Ensure that the spreader is at least 50m from stock, personnel and property.
2. Start the 20HP engine, allow the engine to idle for a few minutes to reach operating
temperature. Then increase the engine RPM to between 2300-2700 RPM. At 2500 RPM
the spinners will be running at approximately 900 RPM, the recommended speed for
most applications.
3. Engage the engine jockey arm using the manual lever or using the optional compressed
air cylinder.
4. Engage the wheel drive arm using the manual lever or via the optional compressed air
cylinder switch located in the truck cabin.
**It is recommended that the wheel drive arm is engaged whilst the machine is stationary.
Engaging the wheel drive arm at speeds greater than 10km/h will lead to premature wear
and subsequent failure of the jockey wheel gearbox.
5. Begin Work.
2. Disengage the Engine drive using the manual lever or optional compressed air cylinder.
3. Disengage the Wheel drive arm using the manual lever or optional compressed air
cylinder
(NB : In all circumstances when the spreader is not in work ensure that the wheel drive arm
is lifted off the truck tyre. When driving on roads for extended periods it is recommended
that the wheel drive arm is fastened to the hopper using a chain and “D” shackles.)
The machine is fitted with sealed self aligning bearings, however due to the abrasive nature
of fertilisers, grease must be applied regularly. There are a series of yellow stickers fixed to
the machine that indicate the location of grease points and greasing intervals. The top and
bottom spinner bearings must be greased once every four hours of operation.
The Machine is fitted with roller chain drives on the wheel drive arm and feedbelt final
drive. The specifications of these chains are :
After using the spreader all fertiliser should be removed from the hopper and spinner
areas, then wash down the machine with a high pressure water hose.
Always store the machine under cover and in a dry place. The 2 Ply feed belt should not
be exposed to prolonged periods on sunlight.
The gearbox oil used on all 20:1 ratio gearboxes is : 85W140. The gearbox capacity is
located at the rear of the machine. Please check oil regularly, the chart below indicates
filling capacity :
It is important that the ground drive wheel is inflated to the correct pressure as incorrect
inflation can cause issues with the feed belt mechanism.
Ensure that the engine is serviced regularly based on the requirements set out in the service
manual that is provided with the spreader.
Check the 12V battery, fuel tank and fuel line regularly to ensure correct operation.
The V-Belt should clear the left hand spinner pulley by approx 3 to 4mm ( Fig 4) - adjust
this by moving the side shaft pulley on the side shaft.
The tension pulley should just clear the V-Belt by about 2mm near the right hand spinner
pulley (Fig 5 - adjust the angle at the tension pulley mount (Fig 6).
For the correct V-Belt tension you should be able to move the V-Belt by hand up or down
25mm at the centre between the side shaft and tension pulleys (Fig 7). To adjust tension
loosen off the tension pulley shaft nut (Fig 8) then tension the adjuster (Fig 9).

4.8 Feed Chain Adjustment
Fertiliser is delivered to the spinners by a feedbelt attached to a high grade chain
Feed Chain assembly located at the bottom of the hopper. The feed chain is supported by top and
bottom nylon runners. It is important that the feed chain is kept under correct tension
at all times as incorrect tension will lead to premature wear and damage to mechanical
components that make up the drive system.
The images below detail the correct chain tension. Fig (10) detail a cross section of the
www.roesner.com.au
chain, the detail Fig(11) shows a close up of the bottom feed chain runner. The chain
should be lifting off the front the bottom runner by 5mm at all times.

Older model Multispreaders were fitted with 6 mild steel angle spinner vanes on each
spinner disc. These vanes can be used to spread granulated fertilisers up to 24 metres and
The spinner vanes can be adjusted to spread light applications of granulated fertilisers
and seeds as well as heavy rates of non-granulated materials such as lime, gypsum and
manures.
Each vane is attached to the spinner disc by two bolts - an inner and an outer. The outer bolt
can be varied to alter the angle of the spinner vanes. see fig 13 and 14 below.
For non-granulated materials the fertiliser deflector chute should be removed to prevent
clogging around the spinners.

Fig 14
800 Series Multispreads from 2006 production are fitted with 3 spinner vanes, pressed
in a “C” channel and manufactured from 5mm Mild Steel. A simplified fertiliser deflector
is also fitted.
The pressed “C” channel vanes can be used to spread granulated fertiliser up to 28
metres and non-granulated products up to 14m.
The pitch or angle of each spinner vane can be altered to suit different types of fertiliser
application rates. However a general setting to suit granulated fertilisers and
non-granulated products is to have 3 vanes on each spinner on three different angles.
This is done by setting each vane on different outer holes on the spinner disc - see Fig
15 below.
The Fertiliser Deflector should be fitted for both granulated and non-granulated products.

Application rates contained in this book are to be used as a guide only. The following can
be used if you wish to check the application rate of the particular material that you are
spreading.
1. Check the width of pass for the most even spread of material you will be using.
Spreading Width Guide:
Urea 16 - 28m
Superphosphate 16 - 30m
Lime and Gypsum 6 - 14m
2. Obtain the circumference of the wheel drive tyre.
Circumference = diameter x 3.141
example: jockey tyre diameter = 0.47m
Circumference = 0.47 x 3.141
= 1.476m
3. Put a small quantity of the material to be spread in the hopper and ensure that the
material is packed evenly around the feed door opening.
4. Rotate the wheel drive tyre until the material is falling evenly off the feedbelt.
Note: The material must be falling evenly off the feedbelt to give an accurate reading.
5. Place a cardboard box or tarpaulin under the spinners to catch the material off the feedbelt.
6. Rotate the wheel drive wheel 10 times and then weigh the material caught off the feedbelt.
7. Multiply the distance travelled in the 10 turns of the wheel drive tyre by the width of pass.
example: 1.476 x 10 = 14.76 metres.
Width of pass = 16m
Then multiply 16 x 14.76 = 236.128m2
8. Divide the weight of the material collected by the square metres of spread over
10 turns of the wheel drive.
example : 2.5kg of material divided by 236.128 = 0.0106
0.0106 x 10000 to convert to kg/ha.
= 106 kg/ha.
To vary spread rates make adjustments to the drive sprocket settings and the opening of the
feed door.
All values are measured in kg/ha. To convert to lb/acre deduct 10% from each value.
