Sand/salt spreader

The sand/salt spreaders are equipped with a new type of spreading system – a hydraulically operated pendulum spreading plate which moves horizontally and spreads the material. Spreading plate height can be adjusted following the material type, which allows spreading of gravel as well as finer sand and salt. A blocking plate kit (available as an option), is necessary when spreading salt and fine sand (prevents the material from falling out by itself).

The unit spreads about 200-300 mm wider than the spreader’s own width, and thanks to smooth movement of the spreading plate, there is no risk of causing damage to nearby objects (parked cars, buildings etc.). Spreading speed can be adjusted steplessly with a flow divider valve. 

The spreader is front mounted as standard and can be tilted down so that it can be loaded like a normal bucket. For Avant 200 series, a mounting plate which increases tilting angle by 30° is necessary for tilting the spreader to horizontal position. Rear mounting is also possible – on 528/530 and 600 series on a designated rear mounting plate (requires rear auxiliary hydraulics outlet on the loader), on Avant 700 and 800 series either on the rear mounting plate A441613/A441666, or on the optional hydraulic rear lift A427547/A438490.

Rear mounting requires the optional rear auxiliary hydraulics outlet on the loader and with the hydraulic rear lift; you also need the control switch pack for rear mounted attachments. Rear lights are also available as an option.
