Spread Everything from Compost to Lime with a Bulk Material Spreader
What if a spreader could discharge at high rates when applying light materials like compost or chicken litter but also be heavy-duty enough to spread lime? With Stoltzfus Bulk Material Spreaders, you can choose your power configuration and get high spread rates with a rugged driveline for spreading a wide range of bulk materials. It’s not just a lime spreader. It’s not just a fertilizer spreader. It’s both…and much more.
Your New Bulk Material Spreader Should Meet All Your Needs
Whether you’re spreading one type of material in large volumes or you need to broadcast various products throughout the year, you can get the performance, reliability, and versatility you need when you choose a Bulk Material Spreader from Stoltzfus Spreaders.
Stoltzfus Bulk Material Spreaders are available in a multitude of power configurations—including PTO mechanical (5-ton), plug-to-tractor hydraulics, and full PTO-over-hydraulic systems. Select the one that suits your needs and then customize it with options to make it your own.
Spread rates are determined by ground speed and gate height, and a constant ground speed is required to maintain a consistent spread rate. All Bulk Material 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.

Enjoy These Benefits When You Buy a Stoltzfus Bulk Material Spreader
When you first experience the Bulk Material Spreader’s solid construction and versatility, you’ll start to wonder how you ever worked without these benefits:
- Load Handling: All Bulk Material Spreaders come standard with a heavy-duty walking beam suspension that eliminates spindle stress caused by torsion axles.
- No More Bridging: Our tests have found that sides with a 53° slope provide the best material flow and capacity combination, and our often-copied 4" vertical pan design works to eliminate material bridging.
- Durability: Bulk Material Spreaders are made with one solid weldment for unmatched strength. You'll find welds every inch where the supporting ribs attach to the body.
- Corrosion Control: Placing the spinner motor above the material flow reduces exposure to materials that can cause corrosion. It also eliminates vibration and protects the motor from material pounding on the spinner disk.
- Consistent Material Flow: The special Sawtooth Delivery™ feature on the Stoltzfus Bulk Material Spreader prevents material surges for low fertilizer rates. The optional shredder’s heavy-duty blades chop up any clumps that could cause issues.
- No More Slipping: The proven PTO drive system and dual-speed drives eliminate slipping.
