The Value of Testing
Crushing strength is the minimum pressure needed to crush individual particles. Testing and knowing the crushing strength of a particular product will help determine maximum spinner RPM.
SGN (Size Grade Number) is the measurement of granule size in millimeters multiplied by 100. A product’s SGN will affect spread width.
When to Test
It is highly recommended to perform a Catch Test, Crush Strength Test and SGN Scale Test prior to each season, before using a new product, or if a significant visible change has occurred with a product. Testing will define granular characteristics and help determine proper spinner settings for optimal product spread.

The Value of Testing
Spread patterns are affected by a number of factors such as type of material being spread, spinner speed, condition of the spinner fins, driving centers, wind and humidity, and rate of material delivery. This makes it critical to perform a spread pattern test in order to make any necessary adjustments.
When to Test
Spread pattern testing should be done prior to each spreading season, after any spreader maintenance, and periodically during the spreading season.
Be sure you perform a spread pattern test for each product and application rate.

App Features
Simple Start Settings
Our Simple Start Settings provide easy access to the information that matters most. Access the chart quickly for your lime, urea, corn blend, and other fertilizer types and blends rates. Spinner frame settings and spinner RPM are listed for each material type.
Conveyor Settings
With the Conveyor Settings feature, you can easily access your units CFR value, calculate field routine settings, and calculate the max speed of fertilizer application with the ability to factor in up to four bins. Having all of your calculators readily accessible keeps your downtime to a minimum.
Spread Pattern Testing
Spread pattern testing should be conducted routinely. Whether it’s prior to the spreading season or before applying new product, a spread pattern test is the only way to ensure that there is no misapplication. Step-by-step instructions are provided as well as pattern evaluation notes. Once the acceptable pattern is achieved, instructions for effective swath widths are provided. These steps are all right there in the New Leader App to provide the support needed in the field.
Feedgate Optimizer
With the New Leader App, the Feedgate Optimizer is available for all New Leader Spreaders! Calculating the optimal feedgate settings has never been so easy. Simply select the model of the New Leader spreader and the current job settings and the calculator does the rest. The calculator also displays the minimum and maximum rate for the optimized opening.
Productivity Calculator
Factors change daily when applying products in the field so knowing your productivity is a top priority. With the New Leader App Productivity Calculator, productivity guessing is no longer an issue. Simply enter your rate, swath width, ground speed, density of the application product and field efficiency and the calculator provides your acres per hour.
