Principals of Operation
The Nitro Manure Spreader is designed to be hitched behind a tractor. The Manure Spreader consists of a poly
board floor trailer with an apron chain drag system, that pulls material to the rear of the trailer, through a set of
vertical, spinning beaters and is then spread in an even pattern on the field. The rear beaters are connected
to the tractor’s PTO via gearboxes and PTO drivelines. The variable speed apron chain is operated from the
tractor cab, and controls the speed of materials being fed through the beaters.
The apron chain and rear lift gate are operated using the tractor’s hydraulic power outputs. The rear lift gate
prevents material from jamming the beaters while loading, as well as preventing material from falling onto a
roadway during transport.
We recommend that you carefully read this entire manual before operating the Manure Spreader. Please do
not assume you know how to operate and maintain your machine before reading this manual carefully. Keep
this manual available for reference.
Call your authorized dealer if you need any assistance or more information.
Intended Use
The Nitro manure spreader is well suited to apply most forms of manure to fields as a fertilizing method. It is
less commonly used to spread compost, lime, wood ash and seaweed fertilizer. The removal of the rear vertical
beaters also allows the Nitro spreader to be used as a pit trailer for forage materials. An optional two stage
beater kit is recommended for chicken litter and other similar materials.
