Jacto: Spread precisely and save on fertilizer

Jacto has established itself as one of the most innovative agricultural equipment manufacturers in the world and is present in more than 110 countries. With a strong investment in research and development, Jacto excels in the race for profit through the efficiency of applying agricultural aids. The company is best known for his Uniport self-propelled machines and one of the top performers in its range is the Uniport 5030 NPK. This fertilizer spreader’s characteristics make it an essential tool for the farmer who farms with precision to save costs, while preserving his soil. This spreader’s characteristics include an excellent application width for fertilizers and soil correctives, faster manoeuvrability than other similar implements, greater operational efficiency, and reduced crop damage.

The Uniport 5030 NPK has a storage capacity of 5,000 kg and an application width of up to 50 metres. The accuracy and quality of application is achieved due to the rotation control of the application belt and the height of the gates that open and close automatically. This also ensures that the granulometry of the fertilizer is preserved.

Control of the drop point of fertilizers on the discs and the exclusive shape of the blades, with two layers to provide the correct overlap for an excellent distribution.

This fertilizer spreader can also be connected to the SmartSet software, which makes adjusting the application more practical, easier, and faster by means of a mobile phone.

Just like other Jacto implements, the Uniport 5030 NKP has a Unitrack steering system, which enables faster and more precise movements and boasts a 35% smaller turning radius.

This system reduces crop damage during manoeuvres by up to 40%. The system allows all four wheels of the spreader to turn, and it eliminates entering and exiting fields, significantly reducing turning time.

Border control

The Uniport 5030 NPK also uses a system that reduces errors with the application of fertilizer at the field’s borders. This helps limit the spread of fertilizer on unwanted areas. The system, which is mounted on the right side of the spreader, concentrates the distribution profile at the end of a field to prevent the fertilizer ending up in areas that the farmer wants to avoid.

Jacto’s self-propelled implements were initially designed for rough terrain in Brazil. It is therefore equipped with intelligent hydrostatic transmission (4x4) and independent automatic traction control, which offers better traction on different types of terrain.

Some of the other specifications for the Uniport 5030 NPK are as follows:

• Flow rate for granular fertiliser: 20-600 kg/ha.

• Dimensions: Length 7.76 m; width 3.20 m; height 3.90 m; length between axles 3.80 m; ground clearance 1.50 m; and track width adjustment 2.603.15 m.
