Spreaders are the
most accurate

spreaders in the
world. The unique
pendulum action
keeps the spread
pattern close to
the rear of the
machine while at
the same time
providing a
symmetrical
pattern on both
sides.

The pattern allows “back and forth” as well as “around
and around” operation. The “truncated” pattern offsets
inaccurate overlap problems, eliminating streaking.
