The most accurate
fertilizer spreader
you can buy
The Vicon Spreader uses an ex
clusive fast-action spout moving
back and forth at 540 times per
minute tb give even, rectangular
coverage instead of the usual
circular pattern.
That means increased profit be
cause you get uniform fertilizer
coverage, resulting in better stands and higher yields
Give the Vicon fertilizer spreader a try. It costs no
more than others. But it’s better.
We also sell Vi-Con rakes and power harrows (in stock)
