BMS spreaders are available in a multitude of power configuration from PTO mechanical (5 ton), plug-to-tractor hydraulics and full PTO over hydraulic systems. Whichever best suits your needs. Spread rates are determined by ground speed and gate height, and a constant ground speed is required to maintain a consistent spread rate. All BMS spreaders come standard with a heavy duty walking beam suspension. The large hoppers, 30 inch wide body chain and 16 inch high rear gate opening allow for high spread rates of light, bulky materials, while the rugged driveline is designed to handle lime.
