September 12, 2008 
Manufacturers are offering more options to differentiate their spreaders. View the latest product features here.
Atlas CenterRide, Miller-St. Nazianz
Miller’s Atlas CenterRide Chassis, powered by a CAT C7 electronic engine with 330-hp at 2200 rpm is precision farming ready, autosteer adaptable, and can be converted from floater to row crop application by changing tires.
Mobility 600, Dalton Ag Products
Built rugged for today’s high-speed agricultural world, the Mobility 6-Ton Row Crop Dry Fertilizer Spreader provides more acres per fill. An adjustable axle and 42-inch lug-type tractor tires reduce compaction and side hill drift while allowing ground clearance of 40 inches under spinners and 47 inches under the frame, over the top of standing crop and fits most row widths.
Fusion, GVM
The multi-bin Fusion has uniquely designed reverse spinners, allowing for guaranteed, accurate spread patterns of 90 to 105 feet, the widest in the industry by 10 to 15% vs. competitors.
Airflo 5500, Valmar Airflo Inc.
Featuring axles that can adjust from 72 to 120 inches to accommodate most rows, the Airflo 7600 High Capacity Pull-Type Spreader delivers exceptional accuracy and rates.
Titan Series, Case IH
The Case IH Titan Series chassis are available in 3- and 4-wheel configurations with either 305 or 365 hp. It can be equipped with an 11-, 12-, 13-, or 14-foot hopper length New Leader spinner box; the MultApplier insert allows simultaneous application of two products at predetermined rates.
SMC 1754, Simonsen Industries
For 2008, Simonsen Industries continues to add features to its popular SMC series spreaders. Among these new features is a hydraulic endgate option which allows the user to raise or lower the endgate hydraulically from the cab to a predetermined position. This feature is designed to give growers a cost effective way to save on their fertilizer costs by closing down the endgate when going through sandy or wet patches.
Airflo 7600, Valmar Airflo Inc.
Tandem walking beam axles, which can be equipped with narrow tires to accommodate 36-inch rows, define Valmar’s Airflo 5500 Pull-Type Granular Applicator. Granular airflow technology, says Valmar, delivers higher yields.
Double Duty, GVM
The chassis-mounted Double Duty features a “funnel-like” tray design, giving fertilizers a pin-point placement which provides more accuracy in hilly conditions. A specially designed 34-inch belt over chain ensures a constant feed to the spinner discs for lime, granular fertilizer, and manure with virtually no bridging.
Patriot, Case IH
For high clearance spreading of dry fertilizer, the L3020G4 Spinner Spreader is a 10.5-foot spreader with a lowered center of gravity, improved maneuverability, and ease of loading. The unique sub-frame is designed specifically for mounting to the smooth-riding Patriot 3210 chassis.
Willmar Super 800, AGCO Corp.
Equalizer technology and leaf springs between the front and rear axle provides more uniform load dispersion throughout the field, resulting in more consistent application. The increased backsplash width minimizes fertilizer on undercarriage, increasing product longevity, while highway-rated tire options offer greater transport speeds.
