Just like our original 3T-ORCHARD model, the stainless steel bin volume is large at 2.35 cubic metres, and the wide rubber belt is perfect for handling composts, mulches, poultry manure and grape marc, as well as the full range of granulated fertilisers, lime and gypsum.
The huge advantage with this new Multi-Delivery Orchard Spreader is the inclusion of a permanent side delivery conveyor mounted at the front of the bin. This lets you easily switch between broadcasting with the rear twin spinner discs or banding from the front belt – invaluable when you need to deliver high rates of bulky compost or mulch. It’s easy for the tractor driver to see and control.
The axle can be positioned for optimal headland turning performance and the single wheels eliminate tyre scuffing in tight turns. Twin rear spinners with bi-directional flights are fitted as standard, and the spinner direction of rotation is easily switched to best suit the product you're spreading.
