TO THE NEW OPERATOR OR OWNER
The Manure Spreader consists of a smooth walled
material trailer with a floor chain drag system that
pulls material steadily through a discharge gate
at the rear of the machine where the dual vertical
beaters process and distribute the material at high
speeds in a uniform spread pattern.
The dual rear beaters are directly driven by
gearboxes that are connected to the tractor’s PTO
through drivelines.
The floor chain drag system is hydraulically
controlled and incorporates a “Flow Control System”
adjusted by an incremental dial located on an
in-cab control box. This controls the speed
of which the chains drag material towards
the rear beaters. The chain is driven by a
hydraulic motor and gearbox located on the
rear right-hand side of the spreader.
A rear gate is used to prevent material
from packing into the rear beaters
while loading and to prevent material
from falling out during transport. It is
raised and lowered by two hydraulic
cylinders.
