STEPPED BEATERS
Hydra-Spread’s stepped beaters provide more consistent spreading than traditional stacked beaters.
Conventional beater configuration places the upper beater directly above the main beater. In some conditions, manure from the upper part of the load can break away and tumble into the lower beater before it reaches the upper beater. This can cause a light/heavy/light spread pattern.
Hydra-Spread’s stepped beater design moves the upper beater forward so manure can be removed before it tumbles. The result is a more uniform spread.
As an added bonus, stepped beaters throw better. With traditional beater arrangements the upper beater can block the path of manure thrown by the main beater. With stepped beater design each beater has a clear path to throw manure farther and more uniformly.
Our newest designs combine stepped beater configuration with RipGrip paddles for machines that really work.
Stepped beaters are standard equipment on all horizontal Hydra-Spread models
