    i have one here.setting 13 at 14km/hr 12m width 540 rpm spreads 1 bag per acre.15 for 2 bags 18 for 3 bags.if you look up amazone website and go to fertiliser database,follow the instructions on it and then put in all your requirments it will give you settings for volume and vane settings.your amazone dealer will give you a settings book either

    a small drop of oil on the joints will solve your other problem

    had terrible hassle with our new one couple of years ago. there was a pin missing out of one of the agitators and it used only worked at times. finally got it right last year and then the knuckles broke. they're a terrible design but when you've replaced them a few times you'll remember to grease them.
