Poly Spreader

Poly Spreader FERTILIZER APPLICATION Fertilizer Application (58f) 20-3-28 New "no-rust" spreader made from poly-ethylene can handle fertilizer, seed, granular chemicals, sand, salt, and other materials without corroding. It mounts on tractors, ATVs, or pickups. The unit's 600-lb. capacity poly hop-per is equipped with a stainless steel throat liner and control gate. The stainless steel spinner is powered by a 12-volt high-torque motor mounted inside a sealed housing. Spreading pattern can be adjusted from 4 to 40 ft. and is controlled by a single lever joystick from the operator's seat. Spinner height adjusts 24 in. vertically on 3-pt. models. "It's more convenient to use than conventional steel spreaders," says Tim O' Neill, sales manager of Grotech. "We offer one model with different mounting kits so you can mount it on almost any vehicle or even on a trailer. One farmer mounted three of our spreaders on his 24-row cultivator and used them to meter dry fertilizer as he cultivated. It's lightweight to keep soil compaction to a minimum no matter what job you're doing." Sells for $1,500. The company also sells a swingaway tailgate spreader for pickups that allows full access to the tailgate by removing a hinge pin and swinging the spreader out.
