Rate Control
Nova 130
Spreader Rate Control
The Nova 130 brings rate control to fertilizer spreading — with weight-based calibration, double-disc support, and variable rate application (VRA) capability. Compatible with major spreader brands including Amazone, Bogballe, and Sulky.
Overview
Nova 130 is a fertilizer spreader rate controller: it keeps the kg/ha application rate constant at every tractor speed by driving the LINAK electric actuators on the spreader gates. Operators know it as a spreader computer or dosing computer. It records jobs, stops spreading below the minimum speed and handles row-turn spreading, using the same 20 × 4 display and menus as the Nova sprayer computers.

Frequently asked questions
Nova 130 — Frequently asked questions
Which spreaders can Nova 130 control?
Any single- or double-disc spreader whose gates can be moved by a LINAK LA12 or LA14 actuator (two actuators are supplied with the kit). Nova 130 adjusts the gate opening continuously as speed changes, so the rate stays on target without manual adjustment.
Can I retrofit Nova 130 to my existing fertilizer spreader?
Yes. Nova 130 is designed as a retrofit kit: the computer or box goes in the cab, the LINAK LA12 / LA14 electro valve kit is fitted to the sprayer plumbing and the valve cable connects the two. Any brand of fertilizer spreader with a standard valve block can be converted, usually in one working day by your dealer.
Does Nova 130 need GPS?
No. Speed can come from a wheel sensor. Add the compact Cross 100 antenna (KYP044) if you prefer satellite speed or want the covered area counted without a wheel sensor.
How much does Nova 130 cost and how do I buy it?
The price depends on the valve kit, cable lengths and options (GNSS antenna, sensors) your machine needs, so we quote per configuration. Use the "Request a quote" button on this page or write to us on WhatsApp; a Tim dealer in your country will reply with a complete kit price and delivery time.
What support and warranty come with Nova 130?
Every Tim product ships with a 2-year warranty, a printed quick guide and access to the Nova Support wizard in the Field Hub. Installation and operator training are handled by the local dealer; firmware updates are free and loaded via USB.
