AF Gason Pty Ltd is an Australian owned
family business operating from within rural
Victoria. The Gason company has been
servicing the needs of rural Australians for more
than 60 years. We operate through a local dealer
support network that spans the country. Gason
would like to thank you for purchasing your
Australian made fertiliser spreader, and trust that
you will have many years of trouble free service.
The Fertiliser Spreader has been designed
to be functional, practical and reliable.
The Gason 5030 Spreader is available in 3
tonne capacity. While ideal for large volumes of
waste, wet or dry, the Gason spreader will
spread most materials. The feed chain offers a
positive method for metering light rates of urea
for top dressing crops through to high rates of
lime and gypsum. The spreader can also handle
chicken litter and general manures.
A fully enclosed three speed gearbox and
adjustable rear door is fitted to allow quick
change over to various products and rates. With
under slung spinners and a wide door opening,
material can be fed unobstructed into the high-
powered spinners. The spinners are mounted
directly to the hydraulic motors, reducing
maintenance.
High floatation tyres offer excellent
performance for these lightweight spreaders and
are built to handle high tonnage application
causing very little compaction damage to the
ground.
This manual endeavours to provide the owner
with a complete understanding of the spreader’s
operation and the processes required to obtain the
highest level of performance possible. It is
suggested that the owner/operator read this
manual and any other literature that has been
supplied with your machine to ensure a safe and
trouble free operation.
References to the left and right hand sides of the
Spreader are from the rear of the machine looking
forward.
