The MD 80T Towable Broadcast Spreader is sturdy, stable & built for smaller areas, with its weather & corrosion resistant polypropylene hopper ready to hold & distribute 29 litres of spreading material, weighing up to 36kg. Broadcast spreaders release their material onto a spinning plate, operated by the movement of the wheels, which then distributes the material evenly around in a broad pattern. This model has a spreading width of Approx. 3.0 – 3.6 metres, & is therefore capable of covering areas up to 14, 000 ft 2 ; that’s about the same area as two full size tennis courts. The MD 80T features a rate setting control, operated by a handy, easy to grip lever, which enables you to precisely vary the flow adjustment according to material & requirements. This is situated at the top-front of the spreader in a prominent position, so there is no bending or strain involved & it is possible to control from the driving seat of your ride-on mower. The construction is impressive, with a robust steel frame, powder coated in black for extra durability & resistance & a very tough hopper with a rain proof cover included to keep out moisture & protect your spreading material. Heavy-duty nylon-gears ensure smooth operation & are again, resistant to corrosion & weather. You can distribute a variety of materials with the MD 80T Broadcast Spreader including seeds & fertiliser, & can even use this versatile machine as an ice-busting grit or salt spreader in the winter months. There is a long tow bar with hitch pin & this spreader is suitable for towing by any make ride-on mower.
