BEFCO - 3 Point PTO Pendulum Spreader for 20–60 HP Tractors Cat 1 576–820 lb Capacity Fertilizer Seed Salt Spreader 540 RPM

This 3-point PTO pendulum spreader is designed for 20–60 HP Category 1 tractors and provides precise and consistent distribution of fertilizer, seed, salt, sand, and other granular materials. It is suitable for agricultural, roadside, orchard, and land maintenance applications where controlled and accurate spreading is required.

The pendulum spreading system delivers stable and repeatable material distribution with adjustable spread widths for both powdered and granular materials. It allows operators to switch between wide-area coverage and narrow banding applications depending on field conditions and job requirements.

Built with a corrosion-resistant polyethylene hopper and a heavy-duty enclosed gearbox, this spreader is engineered for long-term durability and reliable operation in demanding environments. It is designed to maintain consistent flow and accurate application rates across varied terrain.
