Spreading in vineyards, orchards and other horticultural places can be difficult. With tight row spacing and sometimes limited height canopies, it's important to select the right spreader for the job. With a single adjustable position axle and various rear attachments which can be swapped on and off the bin, our Orchard Spreader is designed to be maneuverable and versatile.
Key Features

- The spreader is designed to be ‘scale ready’ and scales can be fitted at the factory or supplied as an after-market kit
- Hydraulic drive system, measuring ground speed electronically for spreading rate control adjustment via the touchscreen controller
- Optional rear attachments for different methods of band spreading. Easily swapped with quick latch systems and hydraulic quick couplers
- Twin stainless steel spinner discs can be adjusted independently for speeds up to 1000rpm for spreading widths out to 24 metres
- Fully enclosed spinner shaft drivelines
- Stainless steel fertiliser deflectors behind the spinners
- Very wide 850mm belt with chevron cleats
- 60mm diameter bed rollers support the belt at 120mm centres along the length

Built low and narrow, the bin volume is still large at 2.5 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 axle can be positioned for optimum 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.
Our Orchard Spreaders have full electronic control with touchscreen and hydraulic drive so that you can manage application rates precisely.
