The Blue Diamond® Heavy Duty Material Spreader is an incredibly efficient tool for spreading various materials. It's easy to use! Just use the hopper like a large bucket to scoop up your material, then activate your skid steer's hydraulics, and it can spread the material up to 30 feet wide. The spreader comes with a durable steel hopper available in 8 and 18 cubic feet capacities. It can spread up to 30 feet wide, and it's self - loading, allowing you to scoop material right into the hopper. It has a hardened steel cutting edge, a protective steel grate to prevent clogging, an adjustable flow with a manually operated gate, a steel spreader with replaceable paddles, and a steel agitator to keep the material flowing smoothly. There's also an optional sidewalk deflector. This spreader is perfect for snow and ice management (use it as a sand or salt spreader), lawn care (great for large - area seed, fertilizer, or lime spreading), and feedlots (works well for spreading feed or bedding). Here are the part numbers, models, and weights: Part number 101110 is for the 8 - cubic - foot Heavy Duty Spreader weighing 415 lbs; part number 101115 is for the 18 - cubic - foot Heavy Duty Spreader weighing 635 lbs; and part number 101155 is for the Sidewalk Deflector Kit for Heavy Duty, weighing 27 lbs.
Using the Blue Diamond Heavy Duty Material Spreader is a breeze. First, decide which capacity hopper you need - 8 or 18 cubic feet. Scoop the material you want to spread into the hopper, just like using a big bucket. Then, turn on your skid steer's hydraulics, and the spreader will start working, covering up to 30 feet wide. When using it for snow and ice management, load sand or salt into the hopper. For lawn care, add seeds, fertilizer, or lime. In feedlots, it can spread feed or bedding. Be careful when operating the manually - operated gate to adjust the flow of the material. Make sure the protective steel grate is in place to prevent clogging. If you use the optional sidewalk deflector, attach it properly. To maintain the spreader, regularly check the hardened steel cutting edge for wear. Replace the paddles on the steel spreader when they show signs of damage. Keep the steel agitator clean to ensure the material flows smoothly. Store the spreader in a dry place when not in use to prevent rust.
