noon,
Choose the spreader that best matches the
equipment you use to fill your silo.
The Model 1030 Multi-Flo® is our standard silage
spreader. With a 9" gooseneck, it is designed for
average capacity blowers and silo sizes.
The Model 1200 Multi-Flo* has a 12" wide
gooseneck. Its larger size all but eliminates plugging
problems, even when you blow in haylage. It is
especially helpful in larger silos.
The BlueMax* is built for those who push high
capacity silo filling equipment to the limit. All parts
of the BlueMax* subject to wear are made 25%
heavier - and the stainless steel plate is twice as
heavy. For strength, there are reinforcements all
around. Even our well-known non-binding hinge is
heavier.
