HEAVY-DUTY MANURE SPREADER FEATURES
Hydraulic endgate
Helps contain high-moisture loads and prevents spillage during transport.
(Optional on MS1223 and MS1227, standard on all other heavy-duty models)
Better cutting coverage
With one of the largest beaters on the market – 29 inches in diameter – these
spreaders cover more area from top to bottom to handle big loads with ease. Faster
tip-speed provides a wide, uniform spread.
Design protects hydraulic lines
With the optional second hydraulic endgate cylinder, hydraulic lines run through
a 3x3 tube under the floor, eliminating the chance for punctures, tears, and leaks.
(Available on MS1223, MS1227, MS1231)
Hydraulic apron drive
Provides versatile load movement with variable speeds. Standard on the MS1256 and
MS1266, and optional on all other Frontier Heavy-duty Spreaders.
Two-speed apron drive
Includes low speed, high speed, and cleanout mode.
(Standard on MS1223, MS1227, MS1231, MS1237, and MS1243.)
Easy apron adjustment
Adjust the main apron by simply loosening the two side bolts and pulling up
the long bolt. Simple and fast.
Efficient load movement
Strong, double main-apron chain handles heavy loads with ease.
(Standard on MS1256 and MS1266)
Longer component life
Apron idler sprockets are made from rugged cast, steel alloy. They last far longer
than idler sprockets found on other spreaders.
Rugged. Reliable. Ready.
