Stainless Steel & Solid Poly Box

Our box features a 1/2" thick High Density Solid Poly Floor and 3/4" thick Solid Poly sides for easy cleaning and minimal freeze up. Also, less friction means less force needed to pull the load off. Box flares and side panel retainers are made of SAE 304 Stainless Steel that resists rust and corrosion. This box is built to last!

Beaters

Our 280 compost spreader comes standard with two 20.5” horizontal beaters, two 30” bottom spinner discs and knives.

Guillotine-Style Meter Gate

The Metering Gate design allows the operator to further control application rate and spread pattern. By metering the load, you can ensure a more consistent feed of material to the beaters. Should the gate be damaged, our bolted design allows for easier gate removal and part replacement. Other welded designs require pulling the entire gate out of the top of the spreader.

Cylinders- Ø2.5" Bore x 48" Stroke x Ø1-3/8" Rod
3000 PSI Rated

Poly-Lined Gate Channels

Our gate channels are lined with replaceable high density polyethylene to reduce freeze-ups and eliminate marring and binding of the gate while operating. Experience smooth operation of the gate not possible with typical metal-on-metal designs.

35 Series CAT 6 80° CV PTO Drive Shaft

The constant velocity universal joint allows smooth machine operation through a wide range of motion. The CV delivers constant power by self-canceling torque and speed fluctuations typically found in single cardan-type universal joints. The HP rating from this drive shaft gives you more than enough power to chew through those tough loads.

Ø1-3/8"-6 Spline (540 RPM) or Ø1-3/8"-21 Spline (1000 RPM)

Automatic Over-Running Clutch 

An automatic clutch built in to the rear PTO drive shaft offers a level of implement overload protection not possible with other types of clutches. The compact, efficient design disconnects the power source from the drivetrain when overload occurs, and does not reconnect until the speed is reduced to near-zero. During disengagement, the patented design does not allow or generate damaging torque spikes or heat. An audible clattering noise alerts the operator when it has disconnected. A built-in overrunning feature allows the beaters to coast to a stop when the PTO is disengaged.

Pintle Chain Apron

A dual 667XH Pintle Apron Chain is our standard apron on this unit. The open barrel design helps eliminate buildup in the root of the sprockets and features smoother operation, uniform link wear and greater resistance to fatigue. All heat-treated parts and quad-staked pins.

Channel is 3/16" Thick x 2" Wide x 1" Tall.

Heavy-Duty Hydraulic Apron Drive

The apron drive features an In-Line Parallel Shaft Gear Reducer with a 31.4:1 ratio. Very high efficiency and torque. No worm gear also means less heat and more durability, along with better seal & lube life. Bevel and cylindrical forged gears made from the best material available today. Manufactured by BERMA, a world leader.

Hydraulic drive is standard with built-in overload relief protection. Provides variable unloading speeds to match load, ground speed, or application rate requirements. 
Available control options include standard tractor-operated flow control, a manual flow control valve with "twist hose", or an electric flow control valve with a control box located in the tractor cab.
