EN 13080:2002 (E)4IntroductionThe objective of this standard is to specify test methods and requirements that, as far as possible, allow uniformtesting and evaluation of manure spreaders.The methods and requirements aim at evaluating the manure spreaders regarding the user's ability, when he usesthe machine according to the manufacturer instruction handbook, to:¾ control the application rate;¾ attain an even distribution of the manure;¾ reduce the load on the external environment, for example by not unintentionally spreading manure outside thetarget area.It should be noted that there is often a great number of varieties of a machine type. This should be consideredwhen selecting the machine configuration for the tests, with the aim of reducing the necessary number of machinesto be tested.SIST EN 13080:2004



EN 13080:2002 (E)51 ScopeThis European Standard specifies test methods and requirements for the design and construction of manurespreaders for spreading manure in agriculture and horticulture with the intention of minimising the environmentaldamage.It specifies requirements for the transverse and longitudinal spreading characteristics such as working widths,characteristic application rate, characteristic flow, the stretch within the tolerance zone and the coefficient ofvariation for the longitudinal spreading.These requirements are valid only according to the tests with manure as described in Table A.1.This standard is not applicable to manure band-spreaders or to sludge spreaders.NOTESludge spreaders can be dealt with in a future revision when there is sufficient data available to determine theirclassification and to set the limits for the machine requirements.Personal safety aspects have not been considered in this standard. These aspects are covered by EN 690.2 Terms and definitionsFor the purposes of this European Standard, the following terms and definitions apply.2.1manure spreadermachine for transporting and spreading manure on the field surface2.2manure band-spreadermanure spreader which spreads the manure in bands separated by bands with no manure2.3sludge spreadermachine for transporting and spreading sludge on the field surface2.4working widthdistance between the centre of two adjacent bouts2.5throwing widthdistance between the left and the right end of a transverse distribution2.6mass of manure spreadmass of manure spread between the start of the test and the end of the test when the flow is less than 1kg/s during5 s or when no mass change of 10 kg is registered during 10 s2.7unloading timetime needed to empty the first 95 % of the mass of manure spread2.8characteristic flowaverage flow calculated over a specified part of the unloading timeSIST EN 13080:2004

To fulfil the complete requirements the machine shall fulfil the requirement for the setting at which the retestwas completed.3.3 Longitudinal distribution3.3.1
Characteristic application rateUnless otherwise specified by the manufacturer, the characteristic application rates that can be obtained shallcover at least the interval 1 kg/m2 (10 t/ha) to 4 kg/m2 (40 t/ha) when calculated in accordance with 4.3.2.3.3.2 Stretch within the tolerance zoneThe stretch within the tolerance zone determined at a specific setting shall exceed 35 % of the unloading time.SIST EN 13080:2004



EN 13080:2002 (E)7The calculation of the stretch within the tolerance zone shall be completed according to 4.3.3.The requirement shall be fulfilled for two settings: low and high.If the requirement is not met for one of the settings, one additional test shall be completed with the same settingand with manure selected as specified in 4.1.3. to check the lack of temporary default; this shall be noted in the testreport. To fulfil the complete requirements the machine shall fulfil the requirement for the setting at which the retestwas completed.3.3.3 Coefficient of variationThe coefficient of variation (CV), determined at a specific setting, shall be less than 40 %.The calculation of the CV shall be done according to 4.3.4, before overlapping.The requirement shall be fulfilled for two settings: low and high.If the requirement is not met for one of the settings, one additional test shall be completed with the same settingand with manure selected as specified in 4.1.3. to check the lack of temporary default, this shall be noted in the testreport. To fulfil the complete requirements the machine shall fulfil the requirement for the setting at which the retestwas completed.3.3.4 Optimum overlappingThe optimum overlapping in the longitudinal distribution shall be given in the instruction handbook. The overlappingshall be determined in accordance with 4.3.5 and calculated for forward speeds of 3 km/h and 8 km/h respectively.4 Verification4.1 Test conditions4.1.1 Manure spreaderThe machine shall be used in accordance with the instructions given in the instruction handbook. If the instructionslimit the use of the machine, in relation to 4.1.3, this shall be noted in the test report.4.1.2 ManureThe manure is classified in four classes as described in annex A. The physical properties of the manure used in thetests shall be determined in accordance with annex A and shall be stated in the test report.The manure that is to be used for the tests shall have been handled as little as possible prior to the test. Manurethat has passed through a spreader shall not be reused.If the machine is to be tested against the requirements in clause 3, the tests shall be completed with manure fromdifferent classes as described in 4.1.3.4.1.3 Selection of manureFor the verification of the requirements in clause 3, manure defined and handled in accordance with 4.1.2 shall beused. The number of manure classes shall be selected in accordance with Table 1.SIST EN 13080:2004



EN 13080:2002 (E)8Table 1 — Number of manure classes to be used for the testsNumber of manure classessuitable for the machineNumber of manure classes to beused in the tests1 or 23 or 412If manure from two classes is to be used, the bulk density shall differ by at least 75 kg/m3 and the manure shall, asfar as possible, be chosen from non-adjacent manure classes.4.1.4 Loading of manureThe machine shall be loaded as evenly as possible. If a loader with a bucket is used for loading, the bucket shallnot be wider than 1/2 the length of the machine’s body. The bucket shall be emptied by tipping at a height whichdoes not exceed the height of the body by more than 1 m. The manure shall be levelled out manually so that thesurface of the manure is even with the upper edge of the body. The manure shall not be artificially compressed.4.1.5 Test site and ambient conditionsThe tests shall be carried out on an even, horizontal surface, indoors or outdoors, and with the driving direction ofthe machine oriented as far as possible against the direction of the wind.During the transverse distribution tests, the wind velocity shall not exceed 3 m/s, measured 1,5 m above groundlevel with a limit deviation of ± 0,5 m/s.The average values for the wind velocity and wind direction shall be stated in the test report.4.1.6 Containers for collecting manure in the transverse distribution testThe containers shall have external dimensions of 500 mm ´ 500 mm, with a limit deviation of ± 2 mm, with amaximum wall thickness of 3 mm and with a minimum depth of 100 mm.Measures shall be taken to avoid spillage of manure by ricochets out of the containers e.g. by inserts in thecontainers. The upper edges of the containers shall all be at the same level within ± 10 mm, and maximum 100 mmabove the average ground level.NOTEIt is preferable to keep the upper edges of the containers as close as possible to either the ground or, if the spreaderis elevated during the tests so that wheels are above containers, to the lowest part of the wheels of the machine.4.1.7 Accuracy in weighing of collected manureThe collected manure shall be weighed with a limit deviation of ± 10 g or ± 0,5 % of the reading, whichever is thehighest value.If any manure has stuck to the outside of a container, that manure shall be removed before weighing the container.NOTESince climatic variations may influence the mass of the manure, there should be as short a time interval as possiblebetween the weightings.4.1.8 Device for measuring the flow of manure in the longitudinal distribution testThe flow of manure shall be determined by registration of the changes of the mass of the machine and the timeelapsed since the beginning of the test.The mass shall be registered with a limit deviation of ± 10 kg or ± 0,5 % of the reading, whichever is the highestvalue. The signal transmitted to the registration equipment shall have a resolution of at least 1 kg.SIST EN 13080:2004



EN 13080:2002 (E)9The time shall be registered with a limit deviation of 0,01 s or ± 0,1 % of the reading, whichever is the highestvalue. The signal transmitted to the registration equipment shall have a resolution of at least 0,01 s.4.2 Test procedure4.2.1 Transverse distribution test4.2.1.1The containers shall be placed with their edges parallel to the ground surface so that they areperpendicular to the line of travel of the machine and cover the total throwing width. In the case of a rearwardthrowing machine, the containers shall be placed so that the dividing line between the two containers in the middlecoincides with the longitudinal vertical plane dividing the machine in two halves. In the case of a side throwingmachine, the containers need only to be placed to the side of the longitudinal vertical plane of the machine fromwhich the manure is spread.NOTESpecial arrangements can be needed (e.g. an overpass for the wheels of the spreader) in order to ensure that themeasurement can be made on the whole width.4.2.1.2All transverse distribution tests shall be performed when at least 30 % and at most 70 % of the originalmass of manure loaded in the spreader has been spread.For PTO-driven machines, the PTO speed shall be kept within ± 5 % of the nominal recommended speed.For each batch of manure to be tested, at least two tests shall be performed, each at a different flow rate setting ofthe machine. The flow rate settings shall be chosen among those presented in the instruction handbook, and shallrepresent one high flow rate setting and one low flow rate setting.The forward driving speed during the test shall be chosen to be between 1 km/h and 6 km/h. The true speed shallbe held within ± 10 % of the selected speed.The number of runs shall be equal to the number for the selected driving speed (in km/h), rounded off to thenearest whole number (e.g. if driving speed 4,7 km/h is chosen, the number of runs shall be 5).If more than one run is performed, the time between the runs shall be as short as possible and the containers needonly to be weighed after the last run.4.2.2 Longitudinal distribution testThe flow rate shall be determined from a longitudinal distribution test. The machine shall be loaded according to4.1.4. The test shall be carried out with manure from the same batches as those used in 4.2.1 and shall be carriedout for the two flow rate settings used in 4.2.1.The registrations of mass and time shall be made simultaneously according to one of the following methods:¾ the mass shall be registered at least once per second preferably at a constant rate of 2 Hz; or¾ the time shall be registered every time a mass-change of 10 kg is registered.Each test shall continue until the flow rate is less than 1 kg/s during 5 s or until no registration is made during 10 s,depending on the method used.NOTEIn order to avoid extreme peak-values in the registrations of the mass, the weighing equipment and/or the dataprocessing system should smoothen out the signal from the mass transducer e.g. by computing the average value between tworegistrations.4.2.3 Filtering of sampled dataIf the data-collecting system cannot collect data at a constant rate the data shall be resampled since the filte
