Information on the ABI Classic Spreader
⅓ Heavier than most competitor's
When it comes to equipment made of steel; weight is a good thing. The heavier the manure
spreader, the more high density steel is being used. Using higher density steel means the
manure spreader will last longer and perform better. Weight is a quality metric you can feel.
Shredded output
Shredding the material has a number of advantages. It exposes more of the manure to sunlight,
which reduces eggs/fly larva and allows manure to decompose far more quickly than
non-shredded material. It also enables the manure to decompose quickly to encourage a
healthy pasture and greatly reduces the amount of time between spreading and horses grazing
again on the pasture.
Variable flow control
Variable flow control enable ts the operator to apply just the right amount of material to the
ground. This ensures proper application rates of material to maximize its nutritional value, while
also minimizing waste and reducing nitrogen burn to vegetation. All ABI Classic manure
spreaders feature the ability to control the flow rate of manure being applied to the ground. Both
the PTO and ground drive manure spreaders have 4 different speed settings that are controlled
by the lever (ground drive models) or a pull rope (PTO models). Flow control is accomplished by
speeding up or slowing down the apron chain (conveyor) that feeds the manure to the back
beaters. You now have the choice of emptying the spreader as fast as possible or applying
controlled amounts of manure.
The combination of shredded output, controlled spread, and variable flow control makes the ABI
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"
steel originally engineered as a corrosion resistant steel for the construction industry. This steel
may be exposed to the elements, even unpainted, and not rust of many years (ABI spreaders
are painted for black for cosmetic reasons, however). Most competitors bolt together many
components of of their spreaders. ABI Classic Spreaders are fully welded to take on the most
punishing situations for many years.
