Satisfy Your Unique Requirements with a Custom Spreader from Stoltzfus

You shouldn’t have to compromise when it comes to applying materials to your land. Instead, let the spreader experts at Stoltzfus create a custom spreader for you that meets all your specific needs. The custom spreaders we’ve created for the farmers who rely on us prove that we can engineer and build equipment that is unique to you, that meets or exceeds your expectations, and that outlasts the competition.

Need a Custom Spreader? No Problem

Stoltzfus Spreader engineers are always ready to solve a new problem with a modified design, added tailored features, or adjusted parameters. For example, we can take a standard Stoltzfus agricultural lime spreader design and adjust it to better meet the unique needs of your operation. Or we can create an oversized commercial agricultural litter spreader for your tractor that’s also suited to spread damp lime. The possibilities are virtually endless.

Special projects that Stolfus Spreaders has been involved in include adjustable wheel tracks, tall hoppers, short hoppers, narrow hoppers, wide hoppers, special lengths, high capacities, low capacities, special tongues, single axles, extra wide or narrow axles, special wheels, weighing capabilities, material agitators, pneumatic loading, drop spreading attachments, and more.

Customizations such as steel wheels, mechanically activated press wheels, and engine drives for the Plane Communities—as well as the installation of customer-supplied electronics for farmers wanting to experiment with bleeding edge technologies are never a problem.

We’ve configured spreader truck bodies for specialty vehicles like log skidders or army trucks, and are happy to discuss building a lime, litter, or compost body for your chassis.

Our team has also built specialty spreaders configured for farmers growing onions, carrots, spinach, lettuce, shade tobacco, etc., along with stand-alone hoppers for customers to incorporate into their own equipment.

You can choose one of our standard agricultural lime spreader or agricultural compost spreader models and we’ll modify it. Or contact us to explain what you’re looking for specifically and we’ll suggest modifications to accomplish what you need.

Call us today to tell us about your material-spreading requirements. Most likely, others have experienced the same challenges you’re facing right now and we already have a solution. Or, if you’re having a problem we’ve never solved before, our engineers welcome the challenge.

You can be using your new custom compost, lime, or fertilizer spreader to meet all your agricultural needs sooner than you might expect.
