B Series Spreaders
Loftness
Loftness is introducing the B Series fertilizer spreaders, available in 8-ton and 12-ton field models, as well as a smaller 1.7-ton orchard spreader.

The hydraulic fixed rate drive is a modern take on the ground drive spreader without the numerous chains, sprockets, shafts and clutches. Simply drive the tractor and turn spreader on and off with tractor hydraulics while the fixed rate drive precisely meters to the desired application rate. -
