Information on your Elite Ground Drive Spreader:
Revolutionary Design:
The Elite Spreader does much more than just spread manure. It processes the manure and shreds all
clumps and shavings. It then spreads this nutrient rich fertilizer on the ground evenly. The ABI Elite Ground Drive
Spreader evenly distributes and maximizes the nutritional value of the manure without smothering or burning a
pasture. It also exposes more of the manure to sunlight which reduces parasite eggs and allows the manure to
decompose far more quickly than a traditional "box" style spreader. This quick decomposition encourages a
healthy pasture and greatly reduces the amount of time between spreading and horses grazing again on the
pasture.
Ground Drive System
:
The ground drive system adds two additional tires to power the spreader. The operator uses a ratcheting
turn knuckle to engage the tires with the ground. This causes the rotation of the shredder drum and agitator bar to
begin processing and spreading the material. This simple design has virtually no maintenance and is easier to use
than traditional ground drive systems. No calibration is required!
Shredder Drum:
The shredder drum is powered by the ground engagement wheels (on 3G) to shred all manure clumps.
This shredded material decomposes very fast, helps reduce parasite eggs/fly larva, and eliminates the need to
harrow after spreading. The blades are welded to the drum in a unique pattern to produce a continuous even
spread. This ensures vegetation will not be smothered or burned by too much material.
Agitator Bar:
The agitator bar utilizes specially designed blades that feed manure to the shredder drum and ensures
consistent material flow. This feature is what enables the ABI Elite Ground Drive Spreader to process both dry and
moist materials.
Release Panel:
The release panel is spring loaded and allows materials that are too hard to shred such as rocks, wood,
frozen chucks, and other objects to pass through the spreader without damaging anything. This panel may also be
released to allow the spreader to be emptied in the rare event the operator decides not to spread the load.
Processing Bin w/Replaceable Panels:
The processing bin is available in 3' and 6' sizes. The front and back panels are sloped to aid in the flow of
material. The back panel is lower for easier loading. The extra height of the front panel allows for additional
material to be heaped. Each panel is replaceable in the event it becomes damaged or wears over time. The bin
panels are heavy duty 12 gauge solid steel with a durable powder coated treatment.
