BEFCO - 3 Point PTO Pendulum Spreader for 20–60 HP Tractors Cat 1 & 2 Poly Hopper 576–2310 lb Capacity 540 RPM Drive

This 3-point PTO pendulum spreader is designed for 20–60 HP tractors with Category 1 and Category 2 compatibility and provides precise, uniform application of fertilizer, seed, salt, sand, and similar granular materials. It is suitable for agricultural, municipal, and land management operations where consistent spreading accuracy and high capacity are required.

The pendulum spreading system delivers controlled material distribution with adjustable spread widths depending on material type and configuration. It supports both wide-area coverage and narrow banding applications, making it suitable for fields, orchards, vineyards, roadways, and large property maintenance.

Built with a corrosion-resistant polyethylene hopper and a fully enclosed cast iron gearbox running in an oil bath, this spreader is designed for long-term durability in demanding environments. It ensures smooth material flow and consistent application performance across varying terrain conditions.
