spreader will now spread material only to the sides. The standard spout may need to be
cut to obtain the desired banding width. In its original length the spreading spout will
leave a band of approximately 23’ and drop the material in rows roughly 3’ wide. The
spout can be cut in small increments if the desired width needs to be reduced. At ¼ of
its’ original length the spreader spout will leave a band in the middle of approximately
6.5’ and still drop material in rows roughly 3’ wide
(see fig. 11)

3.07 - Uneven Terrain
WARNING: Be careful of roll-over when operating tractor and spreader over
uneven ground.
The following precautions should always be observed when working on uneven terrain:
1. In extremely uneven terrain rear wheel weights, front tractor weights, and/or tire
ballast should be used to improve stability.
2. Observe the type of terrain and develop a safe working pattern.
3. Whenever traction or stability is doubtful, first test drive over the terrain.
