Big, bigger, biggest capacity options
Your perfect size manure spreader is waiting for you. Our boxes range from 350 to 900 cubic feet heaped capacity to meet a variety of operation needs.

Get yourself an edge in spread
Clumps and dead spots? Not with this spreader. The X Series manure spreaders have a unique vertical beater placement combined with guillotine slop gate controls to ensure material entering the beaters is sent out in an even spread with a consistent size (2 inches or less).

Versatility when you need it
Flared sides on the X550, X700 and X900 provide a base for your bucket and a lower loading height for extra capacity compared to a spreader with straight sides. The vertical beaters are also removable so you can haul forage, silage, snow, compost and hay. Can’t beat that.

Reversible apron chains for the win
Find something in your load that doesn’t belong? It happens. That’s when the reversible apron chain comes in to save the day. The 88C open barrel pintle chain is used to carry full tube slats across the floor for optimal tensile strength. If that isn’t enough, it is backed by our limited-lifetime warranty.

SPREAD WHERE AND WHEN YOU WANT
Heavy duty apron chain carries material to the beaters. Operator controls how fast the material feeds. Different sized units depending on your operation. Varying height gates to control feed.

Spreading litter? we've got you covered.
We’re bringing you the durability, versatility, & efficiency you need for your poultry operation. This X900 litter unit features a two-way hydraulic back door. Easily open the full door for maintenance & cleaning access or adjust the bottom door to better control your spread distance.

X900 box...but on a truck.
We’re offering you the right options for your operation. Do you prefer a truck mount? Is this how your operation just works? Our truck mount shares the same great features of the X900. Spread just as far & wide with even coverage.

BIG SPREADING POWER PACKED IN A SMALL BOX
We brought the same industry leading spread pattern to producers in a smaller capacity box built for your lots. With a box length of 30 feet, easily maneuver in and out of gates. Operate your floor chain speed and gate height to achieve the amount per acre for best nutrient management.

CAPACITY
Wheel hubs are the center for the durability of our boxes. Rated at 15,000 pounds per hub, the X550 can carry 33,000 pounds of manure. The box has a heaped capacity of 551 cubic feet.

WHEELS AND TIRES
The X550 Manure Spreader comes standard with a tandem axle. Choose Used Truck or Military tires or upgrade to a 600 series flotation tire option to minimize field compaction. Litter scoops are installed from the factory to give you more lift with lighter material such as chicken litter.

POWER
This size of spreader requires a 175 hp tractor. In this range, you can choose either a “small” 1-3/8 1000 RPM PTO or a “large” 1-3/4″ 1000 RPM PTO to make best use of your equipment.

SPREAD
The beaters are a model SRT8 angled underneath the floor to give maximum sizing and spread width.

DEPENDABLE
Our 88C chain boasts a limited lifetime warranty so you know you are always covered while in use. Our unique reversible chain feature gives you the opportunity to move the load away from the beaters to remove any foreign objects. Robust all tube steel slats provide additional durability while moving more and more manure.

RUGGED BOX BUILD
Densilite floors have minimal thermal expansion and contraction for less cracking and buckling with temperature changes. Better yet, it creates a slick surface for enhanced material flow. 2 inch uprights on 2 foot centers provide a strong structure for hauling.

FILL QUICKLY WITH A SKID STEER
Easy filling with low loading heights of 82 inches on our X550 with used military tires. The flared sides allow you to easily load material from the side over the wheel to decrease material loss and load time.

TRANSPORT SAFETY
Bright LED lights, a strong safety chain and convenient heavy-duty jack make you more visible and secure on the road. Move manure wisely.

OPERATOR PROTECTION
A heavy-duty rock guard is mounted on the front for maximum protection. Because safety is a front and back proposition.

OPERATOR CONVENIENCE
Slip resistant and color-coded hydraulic grips make hooking up a breeze. A bolt tensioning system allows for in-the-field chain adjustment. Grease points maintain smooth machine operation and can be easily accessed.
