Features

Cover

A latching, molded poly lid protects material from the elements.

Motor

A fully enclosed 1/3 HP, 12-volt electric motor is mounted inside a sealed housing, protecting it from corrosion.

Controls

Choose between a variable speed control with an "on/off" button and blast option to optimize material usage or a basic "on/off" toggle control (controls are sold separately).

Corrosion-Resistant Hopper

The Low Profile tailgate spreaders feature corrosion-free poly hoppers for long-lasting performance season after season.

Material Delivery

Material is delivered by a vertical steel auger. The unique design helps break up clumps and prevents material from spilling.

Spinner

Models 500 and 1000 both feature a durable 10" polyurethane spinner that delivers a spread pattern of up to 30'. Model 2500 comes standard with a large, 15" polyurethane spinner that delivers a spread pattern of up to 30'.

Adjustable Feed Gate

On the Model 2500 spreader, a specialized "saw tooth" feed gate and auger design combine to deliver complete, reliable flow control with positive shut-off, eliminating spillage and waste.

Mounting Options

The Model 500 tailgate spreader comes standard with a Class III receiver hitch mount. The Model 1000 tailgate spreader* requires the additional purchase of one of the available mount options: a Class IV receiver hitch mount, a fixed bumper mounting system, or the Dual Swing mount. The Model 2500 tailgate spreader comes standard with a Class IV receiver hitch mount.

*Mounts sold separately.

Ratchet Straps

Ratchet straps are provided standard for additional spreader stability on the Model 500 and 2500 spreaders only.
