Wood can

That’s why they use Renta
treated clear yellow pine in
every New Idea Spreader box.
Every New Idea spreader in the line has wood sides,
bottom and end ... because wood can take it. Wood
battles agalhst damage. Wood won’t bend, can’t rust...
and fights corrosive acids better than any other spreader
box material.
Warranty On Wood That’s why only New Idea says, “In
the unlikely event that any of the wood components in
your New Idea Manure Spreader rot through, Avco New
idea will make replacement, no charge. Replacement will
be made without, cost to you, the original purchaser, at
your nearby New Idea dealer... no charge for wood, no
charge for labor or freight."
We make your job a little easier.
