To provide the necessary cushion of air a second engine is mounted behind the cab. This drives a centrifugal fan on each side of the vehicle. Two production vehicles have been converted for Soil Fertility Ltd. and these will be used to provide a contract service for farmers to enable fertilisation to start earlier in the year than would have been otherwise possible.
