SUPERFLOW
FERTILIZER SPRE
/tEmS\ SUPERFLOW
SEEDER
Spreaders are the
most accurate
broadcast
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.
