Rescia Guiliano
Fertilizer / Lime / Salt Spreader
This PTO powered spreader mounts to a walk-behind tractor in the Front-PTO mode and has a centrifugal rotary spreader below the hopper (much like the spreader on the back of a salt-spreading truck for roadways).
It is designed to handle granulated fertilizer, lime, salt, sand or any such dry material.
Spreading coverage is adjustable in width by adjusting a deflector on either side of the rotor which allows coverage of as little as 30 inches width and as much as 12 feet (there is a permanent deflector behind the rotor which keeps material from being thrown back on the underside of the tractor and the operator).
Spreading density is controlled by an incrementally adjustable door at the base of the hopper, by ground speed and engine throttle speed.
Material is agitated at the bottom of the hopper by a shaft with paddles on it to keep material from clumping and to keep a good flow down through the door onto the centrifugal slinger.
Equipped with 8” diameter solid caster wheels.
Note: if using this implement on a slope, we recommend a tractor equipped with steering brakes for easier control. The weight of this implement (250 lbs) combined with 220 lbs. of payload is a whopper to handle on a hillside without steering brakes! (The BCS 853 has steering brakes)
