Sand/salt spreader

The new sand/salt spreaders are equipped with a new type 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 the 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 the smooth movement of the spreading plate there is no risk of causing damage to the objects around (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 a horizontal position.

Rear mounting is also possible: on 528/530 and 600 series on a designated rear mounting plate (requires also rear auxiliary hydraulics outlet on the loader); on Avant 700 and 800 series on the optional hydraulic rear lift A427547/A438490, which requires also rear auxiliary hydraulics outlet and attachment control switch pack for rear-mounted attachments on the loader.

Rear lights are also available as an option.
