Willmar Super 800 | AGCO/Willmar
No job is too big for the durable, productive and accurate Willmar SUPER 800. A mechanically simple chain and gear conveyor system allows operators to control application rates in low or high ranges, from 311 to 1,033 pounds of material per acre. Two spinners create a total spread pattern of 80 or 100 feet, respectively, and using a 100% overlap, produce a pyramid-type pattern. A single spinner provides a 65-foot total spread pattern. The S-800 also offers quick, easy set-up, a front window providing a clear visual on the remaining product and lighting and reflective devices for additional road safety. Learn more >>

Double Duty Spreader | GVM
GVM’s Double Duty spreader line (pull-type pictured here) offers unique control systems and the widest, most accurate spreading pattern in the industry, regardless of varying terrain. The Double Duty’s wide and accurate spread pattern is due to its patented, reverse rotating spinners and the pre-adjusted funnel, which forces material to fall directly onto the spinner disc. The Double Duty offers a guaranteed 90- to 105-foot spread pattern at a less than 15% coefficient of variation with granular fertilizer. Learn more >>
