1 In order to reach a uniform distribution for a working width below 13.1 ft (4 m), we recommend using a precision dispersion plate (see accessories)
ES 100 M3 Special
Just like the ES 100 M1 Classic, the ES 100 M3 Special is well suited for spreading cover crops, grass seeds, nurse crops, slug pellets and similar granules. With the integrated point of impact adjustment and the tilted spreading disc with special throwing vanes, you will achieve larger working widths and a more precise spreading pattern.
Operations
The plastic hopper ensures the low weight of the entire spreader. It includes the spreading material, which securely reaches the metering shutter through an agitator. You can control the spread rate with the stepless metering shutter. The spreading material falls on the spreading disc and is distributed equally across the working width. The speed of the spreading disc and thus the working width are easy to set from the driver’s seat via the control box.
Application areas of
ES 100 M3 Special
- Cultivation and seeding in one operation
- Overseeding and cover crop applications
- Distribution of slug pellets and similar granulates

Further information
Functions of the Control Box 3.5
With the control box 3.5, the speed (rpm) measurement, regulation and control is possible.The adjustment of the working width is easy and an automatic slider (tractor linkage sensor optional) is also installed.The calibration test and emptying work with the push of a button.An integrated acre/hectare and hour meter provide overview at one glance.
7-pin signal cable
In case of proper tractor cabling of the signal plug1, the driving speed and the tractor linkage signal are recorded and displayed on the control box.
Cable length: 4.9 ft (1,5 m)
1 Attention: The signal plug must be designed and equipped tractor-side according to the norm. Signal cables are not suitable for John Deere tractors.
Tractor linkage upper bar sensor (accessory kit)
Optimally suited for 3-point mounted implements.
For mounting on a second top link hole. Function: mechanical operation of a spring rod. The metering shutter is automatically released or stopped (invertible).
Cable length: 9.8 ft (3 m)
Tractor linkage lower bar sensor (accessory kit)
For mounting on movable parts in headland. Function: contactless through a magnet. The metering shutter is automatically released or stopped (invertible).
Cable length: 16.4 ft (5 m)
Tractor linkage pull switch sensor (accessory kit)
For mounting on 3-point or on moving parts in headland. Function: pull operation through a spring. The metering shutter is automatically released or stopped (invertible).
Cable length: 16.4 ft (5 m)
Hydraulic tractor linkage sensor (accessory kit)
The sensor can be integrated into an implement on an existing hydraulic system (e.g.: lower bar cylinder). Function: operation through change of pressure in the hydraulic system. The metering shutter is automatically released or stopped. The switching pressure can be set between 20 to 50 bar.
Cable length: 16.4 ft (5 m)
Lateral distribution curve
When developing the ES 100 M3 Special, we mainly focused on two aspects: Optimization for the output of slug pellets: In order to further improve the performance of Disc Spreaders, particularly in connection with slug pellets, the throwing vane configuration and design were optimised in collaboration with the French institute IRSTEA. The results are great - best lateral distribution values even with maximum working widths. Our optimised device achieves a working width of up to 91.8 ft (28 m) with a variation coefficient that is smaller than 10 %.
