With one of the largest beaters on the market – 29 inches in diameter – these
spreaders cover more area from top to bottom to handle big loads with ease. Faster
tip-speed provides a wide, uniform spread.
Efficient load movement
Strong, double main-apron chain handles heavy loads with ease.
(Standard on MS1256 and MS1266)
Longer component life
Apron idler sprockets are made from rugged cast, steel alloy. They last far longer
than idler sprockets found on other spreaders.
