Abstract
The present disclosure relates to the spreading of a material by pushing the material from the back of a vehicle using a material ejector system while the vehicle is moving. The depth of the spread material and how evenly it is spread is dependent on a number of factors that can be difficult and complicated for an operator of the vehicle control. In the present disclosure the speed at which the material is ejected from the vehicle is set on the basis of a measured speed of the vehicle.
