Zero-Max’s Adjustable Speed Drive Provides Quality Results For Grass


Zero Max’s adjustable speed drive is able to spread fertiliser and seeds across grass to help ensure it is thriving. This blog will explain exactly how Zero Max’s adjustable speed drive is achieving these results, explaining the piece of equipment in detail and what it can do.

What is Zero Max’s adjustable speed drive?

It is a mounted on grass speed dispenser, the number of seeds distributed can be changed with its handle. This equipment was designed when there was a need for the number of seeds and fertiliser being dispensed to be managed and changed when needed. It can be used on small patches of grass like gardens, and also on large grass areas like farms. It is sold in standard sizes and models, however, you can purchase custom sizes too.

How does it work?

The drive has a range of speeds, and in essence is a motor that is attached to a prime mover, allowing it to have a range of speeds. The equipment can also be used as a secondary drive, attached to the drive line inside. In fact, speeds can vary between 0-2000 rpm and changes between these speeds are done with ease, even when the machine is in use. This can all be done with a simple handle that you can adjust, and there is even an extra control screw that will allow you to reliably do the same application time after time. Then, once you need a different level of fertiliser or seeds spread, you can easily adjust it again, as many times as you need.

Other features

The adjustable speed drive can have other features such as belts and chains easily added to it, without any wiring. The speed drive comes in a range of sizes and Zero-Max even allows you to order and purchase custom models too.
