Classic Spreader one of the most eco-friendly spreaders on the market. All welded COR-TEN steel construction All ABI Classic Spreaders are fully welded for a long life and made of COR-TEN steel to resist rust and corrosion. Unlike standard mild steel used by competitors, COR-TEN is “weathering”... - Page 7 This eliminates slipping and binding of the moving parts and reduces wear and tear and breakages to the chains, sprockets, and gears. The hubs on the ABI Classic Spreader have a ratcheting override when moving in reverse or taking sharp corners.
- Page 8 The floor of the ABI Classic Spreader is constructed of a tongue and groove poly lumber, so it will never rot or rust. The tongue and groove construction prohibits the individual poly boards that make up the floor from warping, which would cause the apron chain to get caught and bind on the flooring.

This will help to ensure longevity of your spreader. It is important to avoid putting excess soil or stones into the spreader. The ABI Classic Spreader was not designed to spread soil or stone. Getting stones caught in the bed will damage the spreader and is not covered under warranty. - Page 14 This also helps reduce unneeded repair, wear and tear, and breakage.
