Spreader-Seeder For Pickup Trucks

Spreader-Seeder for Pickup Trucks FERTILIZER APPLICATION Fertilizer Application (58f) 10-6-28 "We know it works for spreading fertilizer, sand or salt. We think it will also make an excellent seeder for small grains and other broadcast-seeded crops," says Mike Elsass, inventor-manufacturer of the new Tiger spreader-seeder for ¢ or ¥ ton pickups. "We're getting a lot of interest from farmers looking for ways to earn extra money with their pickups. With our new spreader-seeder, they can take on sand and salt spreading jobs in town," Elsass notes. Spreading width is adjustable from 4 to 30 ft. The low-profile hopper, made of 12 ga. steel, holds 1.6 cu. yds. (up to 4 cu. yds. with optional side extensions). It can be loaded with a tractor loader, auger or overhead bin. Twin augers (to prevent bridging) are operated hydraulically, with a 10 hp. gas engine powering the hydraulic pump. The 12 in. dia. stainless steel spinner, with four blades welded to its surface, is driven by a battery-powered electric gear motor. It folds out of the way for fast unloading of leftover material. Cab-mounted controls allow the driver to adjust application rates "on the go". Available with an optional Stow-Away winch for lifting the spreader-seeder in and out of the pickup bed. Sells for $4,900, including the 10 hp. engine and controls. An optional stainless steel hopper insert is available for use with salt or other corrosive materials.
