Cover More Ground with the Shaktiman 400-Litre Fertilizer Broadcaster

Applying fertilizer by hand can take hours, especially when several acres need to be covered. It can also be difficult to maintain an even application across the entire field. Some areas may receive too much fertilizer, while others receive too little.

The Shaktiman SFB400 Square Fertilizer Broadcaster gives farmers a faster and more consistent way to complete this important part of crop preparation.

Mounted behind a tractor, the broadcaster distributes granular or crystalline fertilizer across a wide section of the field with every pass. This helps reduce manual labour while giving crops a more uniform application.

Spend less time spreading fertilizer

Fieldwork often has to be completed within a limited window. When fertilizer application takes too long, it can delay the other work planned for the day. The SFB400 has a 400-litre hopper, allowing the operator to carry a practical quantity of fertilizer before stopping to refill. Its spreading system can cover approximately 12 to 14 metres at a time, helping the tractor cover more ground with fewer passes.

For farmers working across larger fields, this can mean finishing the job sooner and making better use of both the tractor and the operator’s time.

Give the field a more even application

Fast application is only useful when the fertilizer is distributed properly. The Shaktiman broadcaster uses a spreading disc with four blades to distribute fertilizer across the field. The system is intended to produce a uniform spread over a greater distance, rather than concentrating most of the material directly behind the tractor.

More consistent coverage can help the farmer avoid unnecessary overlap between passes. It may also reduce the risk of applying too much fertilizer in one section and too little in another.

The result is a cleaner and more controlled approach to fertilizer application.

Control the flow from the tractor seat

The SFB400 is equipped with a control lever that the driver can operate while seated on the tractor.

This allows the operator to control the application without repeatedly climbing down from the machine. It is particularly useful when reaching the end of a row, turning, or moving between sections that do not need fertilizer. That added control can help reduce waste and keep the work moving with fewer interruptions.

Why more consistent spreading matters

Fertilizer is an investment in the crop. When it is applied unevenly, part of that investment may be wasted. A tractor-mounted broadcaster helps the operator apply material at a steadier rate while maintaining a consistent path through the field. It also reduces the physical effort involved in manual spreading. For the farmer, the benefits are straightforward:

• More land covered in less time

• Less dependence on manual labour

• Greater control over fertilizer distribution

• Fewer unnecessary overlaps between passes

• The option to broadcast seeds with the same implement

Prepare for a more efficient farming season

The Shaktiman 400-Litre Fertilizer Broadcaster is a practical option for farmers who want to improve how fertilizer is applied across their fields. Its large hopper, wide spreading range, tractor-seat controls, and seed-broadcasting capability can help reduce time in the field while supporting a more uniform application.
