Farmers have a new favourite spreader!
Our WideTrac Spreaders make fertiliser spreading easy, embracing intuitive 21st century technology to take care of the spreader settings at the touch of a button, a tough polyethylene plastic bin for superb corrosion resistance and outstanding styling.
We’ve thought a lot about what people really need from a fertiliser spreader.
Tough and durable to take the knocks and survive the corrosive environment of fertiliser. Easy to set up and use, and switch to different application rates quickly with no fuss. Minimal wearing parts and quick to service when you have to. A wide belt that can handle pretty much every product you’ll ever need to spread. And of course, stunning good looks!
And it's smart!
All you have to do is decide on a spreading rate, driving width and fertiliser density. Enter these 3 settings on the front control panel of the machine and then drive away. A scrolling display shows you the chosen settings and the rear spinner speed. Start and stop spreading with a remote control button from your tractor seat, and the belt speed and rear gate height will adjust automatically to suit your ground speed, and accurately deliver the rate you asked for.
Key Features
- The 8mm double skinned polyethylene bin is extremely durable and UV stabilised to withstand the elements. It is long lasting, easily maintained, resistant to corrosion, and minimises bridging
- The chassis structure, drawbar and spinner assembly frame are hot dipped galvanised. The rear end of the spreader utilises stainless steel where possible, including the spinner discs and vanes. This reduces corrosion and gives extra resistance to wear and tear
- The 8mm thick rubber belt has our own chevron cleat pattern for moving the product inside the bin. Chevron cleats are great for dragging light material out of the bin
- The belt is chain driven using high-tensile chain which is hot dipped galvanised, ensuring it always tracks straight. This provides a positive and reliable belt drive
- The spreader belt is 780mm wide. Less chance of product bridging and lower centre of gravity. Spreads everything from urea to poultry manure
- The spreader controller requires just three basic settings and you are ready to spread, saving time with its simple and easy-to-understand operation
- The belt and spinners are driven hydraulically and the belt speed adjusts automatically as your ground speed changes. This ensures a positive and reliable drive without the hassle of v-belts or chains
- The spinner discs are hydraulically speed controlled and can spread granulated fertilisers up to 24 metres. With excellent accuracy and a wide spread means less trips around the paddock
- Standard features include a swivel tow eye, spinner protection bar and LED lights, ensuring your machine is visible and protected in the toughest of conditions
- The rear door uses an electric actuator to control the door height, eliminating the need for manual adjustments. This ensures excellent accuracy regardless of your forward speed
- The plastic bin is comprised of multiple sections, so you don't have to replace the entire bin if one section gets damaged
WideTrac comes standard with a 780mm wide belt for spreading versatility, handling anything you throw at it. Plus it embraces intuitive 21st century technology, with a digital interface that allows you to take care of the spreader settings at the touch of a button.
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.
These fertiliser spreaders are packed with features to make your job easier.
A rigid internal steel superstructure provides strength and support for the double-skinned polyethylene bin where it counts and is cleverly hidden away from sight, and the corrosive fertiliser environment.
Hydraulic hoses and wiring are channeled through the chassis where possible for protection from external elements
The business end of the spreader has extra corrosion and wear resistance, with stainless diverter plates and dividers to deliver an even flow of fertiliser on to stainless spinner discs, with replaceable stainless spinner flights, and stainless deflector shields.
An 8mm thick rubber belt is riveted on to steel bars which are welded to calibrated high tensile chains, and positively driven by high tensile cast sprockets. The entire chain and steel bar assembly is hot dipped galvanised after welding for corrosion resistance. Simple stainless steel tensioning adjusters keep everything running smoothly.
The spreader belt is really wide at 780mm and has a special cleat pattern to grip product and transfer it to the rear spinners. This means that you can spread virtually any product which will flow. Spread chemical fertilisers such as superphosphate, urea or lime, or go the organic path with poultry manure or compost, with spreading rates between 40kg - 5000kg/hectare.
Technology
Perfect control
Every job is easy to set up and control with a few simple steps.
Enter the spread rate, product density and spread width, then the WideTrac automatically manages gate height and belt speed to accurately spread your valuable fertiliser.
The display is clearly visible from the tractor seat to be able to keep an eye on the spinner speed and job settings while you drive.
