Grasshopper Spinner Spreader

Application • Pull Type Spinner Spreaders

Features

The Grasshopper pull-type spreader is the original mid-season, top-dress applicator from Salford. Designed to hold 5 tons of fertilizer or 7 tons of lime, this machine delivers the nutrients your emergent crop needs to maximize yield potential. With high ground-clearance for row cropping and top dressing and flotation tires to minimizing soil compaction, this spreader achieves precision application in both row crop and sod/turf farm environments. The Grasshopper is built for durability and precision, featuring ground-wheel-drive mechanics, and the original Salford spreader system for a consistently wider, flatter spread pattern.

• Choice of PTO (Series 6 CV Joint, shielded drive) or hydraulic driven spinners (OH mounted motors)
• 24″ dished spinner design for precision coverage
• Stainless steel spinners, fins and spread shield
• 9′ Stainless steel hopper with Ladder
• Laser Cut Sight Window
• Jack Operated Gate
• Stainless Steel mesh chain conveyor
• UHMW comb cover
• 12-Ton rigid, high-clearance axle with 11.25 x 28 ribbed implement row crop tires
• High ground clearance from row-cropping and top dressing
• 64″-72″ reversible track width
• Heavy-duty tongue jack
