PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION Two vertical spinning beaters at the rear of the spreader expel manure in a uniform spread pattern. Each beater is driven by a hydraulic motor. A PTO driven hydraulic power supply on the spreader provides power to the beaters. The hydraulic pump is two stage thereby supplying independent power to each beater motor. A wide heavy duty belt covers the box floor.
4. Avoid sudden uphill turns on steep slopes. 5. Do not drink and drive. 6. Comply with state and local laws governing highway safety. 7. Plan your route to avoid heavy traffic. 8. Be a safe courteous driver. Always yield to oncoming traffic in all situations, including narrow bridges, intersections, etc.
