The One Spreader
Kg Enough For Poultry litter,
Rugged Enough For lime.
The
Stol
Poultry Litter
Spreader is specifically designed for the
demands of this challenging job. The 20
foot hopper holds a whopping 400 cubic
foot load, meaning fewer trips for you.
The big 30-inch drag chain moves large
volumes of litter fast. And the dual
hydraulic spinners spread a wide,
uniform pattern up to 40 feet wide.
But its real beauty may be its versatility.
Now you can spread fertilizer, stockpiled
lime, compost, poultry litter and more, all
with one machine.
• Hydraulic spinners
• PTO-powered chain
• Spread stockpiled lime
• Walking beam suspension
• 4 sizes to choose from
• Truck-mounted models available STOLTZFUS
