Grasshopper HDR Spinner Spreader

Application • Pull Type Spinner Spreaders

Features

The Grasshopper hydraulic 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.

• Hydraulic Binary Manifold with pilot operated relief, manual flow controls for spinner and conveyor
• Self-contained hydraulics driven by Series 6 CV joint PTO shaft
• Overhead mounted spinner motors
• Single motor gearbox
• Stainless steel spinners, fins and spread shield
• 10′ Stainless steel hopper
• 16″ stainless steel mesh chain conveyor
• 12-Ton rigid, high-clearance axle with 11.25 x 28 ribbed implement row crop tires
• Heavy-duty tongue jack
• Spreader pan test kit

Precision, power, performance. Spreads lime at up to 2 tons per acre at 14 mph with a 60-foot swath, spreads fertilizer at 80-foot-plus swaths. Optimized for medium-capacity applications, for turf farms, pastures, and row crops. High clearance straddles rows. Equipped with Salford BBI’s Binary Manifold, making connections to your precision agriculture electronics a snap.

BBI Grasshopper HDR is the ultimate combination of power, precision, and performance, delivering unparalleled efficiency in the field. We call it cost-in-use—a combination of measures like the amount of fuel material and fuel you save from hitting your targets better with each nutrient application. There’s nothing like having greater control over the profitability of your business, and Grasshopper HDR is built to be your partner for increasing yield while cutting costs.

Part of Salford BBI’s commitment to precision farming, all hydraulic models arrive in the field standard equipped with two proprietary technology pieces: the Binary Manifold and the Task Command System. The Binary Manifold, Salford BBI’s ISOBUS-ready platform, enables snap connections to all major precision agriculture platforms, while the Task Command System is our own precision agriculture combination pack, featuring a virtual terminal and software applications that include guidance and variable-rate application capabilities.
