Giltrap 6 Tonne Spreader

If an accurate spread pattern with precision rate control is important to you, then Giltrap spreaders are what you are looking for. All Giltrap machines are fitted standard with hydraulic belt drive, electronically controlled from the tractor cab with consistent and repeatable spread settings.

All you need to know is the fertiliser density, your spreading width and the desired application rate - the computer does the rest so you can focus on driving.

The 3mm corrosion resistant stainless steel bin will last for years, and the 850mm wide rubber belt lets you spread almost anything you can think of.

These fertiliser spreaders are packed with features to make your job easier.

Key Features

  • 3mm grade 304 stainless steel bin provides years of corrosion free use
  • Stainless steel fertiliser deflectors behind the spinners
  • Independent chassis constructed from grade 350 RHS steel provides a rigid mounting and towing base for the fert bin
  • Low centre of gravity for safety around hills
  • Swivel towing hitch
  • Adjustable quick lift jack stand
  • Bolt-on axle assembly for simple removal and servicing
  • Greasable axle pivots on tandem axles
  • Easily adjustable door with multiple spreading positions for different application rates and products
  • 850mm wide x 8mm thick vulcanised endless rubber belt with 5mm high chevron cleats moves fertiliser efficiently through the door
  • No high maintenance drag chains and slats
  • Belt drive and idler cage rollers are hot dipped galvanised
  • Drive roller is crowned for reliable belt tracking
  • Heavy pinch roller increases the wrap of the belt around the drive roller for positive belt grip
  • Stainless steel adjusters for belt positioning and tracking
  • 60mm diameter idler rollers support the belt at 120mm centres along the length
  • No ground or wheel drive. Giltrap only use a fully hydraulic drive system, measuring ground speed electronically for spreading rate control adjustment via the computer
  • Twin stainless spinner discs operating up to 1000rpm with independent electronic speed control and boundary spreading control
  • Fully enclosed spinner shaft drivelines
  • Proven spread widths out to 24 metres by Spreadmark approved testing, with low variation coefficients (depending on product type)
  • All spreaders are load cell ready

Spinners are counter-rotating at speeds of up to 1000rpm giving spread widths out to 24m, with electronic speed control and monitoring, including a boundary spreading control function.

The stainless bin is bolted, not welded to the independent chassis. This makes it easy to remove and service if required, and minimises any risk of stress cracking from welding stainless to mild steel. Load cells for electronic weighing can be factory fitted or easily retro-fitted afterwards.

Large objects can be sifted out of the fertiliser with an optional internal 50mm grid mesh.

Bi-directional spinner vanes can be fitted to run the spinner discs in reverse for spreading high volume rates of lime, compost and poultry manure.

The vulcanised rubber belt is extremely durable at 8mm thick, and has a 5mm high chevron pattern to pull product through the bin and deliver an even flow on to the spinner discs.

Hydraulic brakes

Hydraulic brakes provide operator safety and allow machine operation in difficult terrain.

Hydraulic brakes are available for most machines.  On tandem axles, brakes are fitted to the front hubs only.  If necessary, 4-wheel braking is available.  The drum brakes work off external tractor hydraulics and have an adjustable relief valve and hoses included in the kit.

Braking systems are also available for tractors fitted with factory braking circuits that then operate when the brake pedal is depressed.
