The Fan Jet Plus has all the features of the standard Fan Jet Pro in terms of spreading performance, headland control and options, although variable disc speed is standard.
However, Plus models use a rotary feed mechanism, instead of a gravity feed, onto the spinning disc. Fluted feed rollers are driven by an electric motor, and the choice of feed roller and speed of rotation determines the application rate. A rotary feed allows very low application rates to be used without risk of blockages.
The Plus can also be mounted on most 12v agricultural machines with the exception of a quad bike due to its weight and power requirements.
The disc speed can be ‘dialled up’ or down to adjust the spreading width, for example to match the implement width, when used to broadcast small seeds to minimise damage (OSR, turnips, etc).
Simple design, proven over many years combined with robust welded construction.

FAN JET PLUS CONTROLS
THREE CONTROL OPTIONS
VARI-SPEED CONTROL
Disc speed and feed roller speed can be changed on
the move from the tractor seat using a simple dial control.
A simple and effective manually operated electric control is used to instantly start and stop the feed motor e.g. at headlands.
- Left hand switch - disc motor on/off
- Left hand dial - disc motor speed control
- Right hand switch - feed motor on/off
- Right hand dial - disc motor speed control
JACKAL CONTROL
The JACKAL is a simple compact controller which enables monitoring and adjustment of all key functions. Screen shows application rate, forward speed, hopper level alarm and fan voltage. As standard the forward speed input is taken from the tractor 7 pin implement socket, a GPS speed sensor is optional.
- Large LCD screen and robust water resistant housing
- Quick easy set-up
- Simple accurate calibration for precise rate control
- Forward speed related rate control as standard with on the move adjustment
- High and low alarms for fan and metering roller
- Multiple trip counters and live date scrolling
i-CON CONTROL
Rates are automatically controlled in proportion to forward speed for ultimate accuracy, and the machine can apply variable rates according to mapping data using a GPS based touch screen*.
*subject to unlock fee
- 4.3” colour touch screen with 4 basic menu keys
- Seed application rate kg/ha
- Rate nudge - on the move adjustment in pre-set increments
- Min/max forward speed (km/h) indicator with alarms
- Metering unit status (on/off) and alarm
- Disc status (on/off) and alarm
- Hopper contents (kg) and low level alarm
- Part, full job & grand totals for area (ha), product dispensed (kg) and hours worked
SPREAD WIDTH
Quoted spread widths are only a guide. The density of product diminishes towards the extremity and so an overlap is recommended.
The maximum spread width is determined by:
- Product type & integrity
- Product density
- Application rate
- Forward speed
- Wind speed and direction
- Disc height from crop canopy
SEED DEFLECTOR
An easily attached, optional adjustable deflector reduces and controls the spread width for products such as grass seed. Max spread width when fitted is 6m.
METERING MECHANISM
The fluted feed rollers supplied are suitable for most products from low to high rate applications. The rollers agitate the product to ensure a consistent flow. The feed roller meters product onto the spinning disc.
Alternative feed rollers are available for specialist pellets and seeds. These are easily changed to provide suitable application rates.
CALIBRATION HOPPER
An optional calibration aid, a steel chute is easily attached and collects and deflects the product being spread into a user provided bag for weighing during calibration checks. The calibration aid is supplied as standard with all i-CON models.
WATERPROOF COVERS
Fan Jet’s can be supplied with optional waterproof covers for use when out of work.
