Features

  • Standard Mechanical Conveyor Drive
    The OS170 comes standard with a mechanical conveyor drive with hydraulic shut-off. It can also be equipped with a rope pull shut-off, or both hydraulic and rope shut-off.
  • Low Profile Design
    At only 56.4 inches tall, the OS170 leads the industry with its low profile, allowing it to easily travel under tree branches. Despite the lower profile, the spreader has one of the highest capacities with the ability to carry up to 80 cubic feet of material.
  • Narrow Width
    With a hopper width of 48.7 inches and tire width of only 50.1 inches, the OS170 can operate efficiently in some of the narrowest spaced plantings.
  • Stainless Steel Construction
    The hopper is constructed of 409 painted stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance. All other areas exposed to continuous fertilizer contact are made from stainless steel as well, such as the 304 stainless steel conveyor chain.
  • Dual Stainless-Steel Spinners
    Dual stainless steel spinners produce a consistent spread pattern up to 25 feet wide on the standard model. A 40-foot spread width is optional.
  • Spinner Drive
    The dual stainless steel spinners come standard with hydraulic drive but can be equipped with an optional 540-RPM PTO drive.
    An optional controlled spinner drive works in conjunction with a speed sensor, allowing the operator to set the desired spinner speed from the cab to match the desired spread width. Simply enter the desired spinner speed, and the spinners will adjust automatically to the programmed speed.
  • Adjustable Hitch
    The hitch has an adjustable clevis to accommodate a wider range of drawbar heights, and allows for leveling of the spreader.
  • 11L-15 Tires
  • Optional Banding Attachment
    The optional bander at the rear of the spreader deflects the fertilizer and places it in narrow zones or bands to provide a concentrated application. Deflectors on the bander can be adjusted to direct the fertilizer to the desired location, or band width.
  • Optional Top Screen
    Add a top screen to the OS170 to help keep large chunks and foreign material from entering the hopper. (This option isn’t compatible with the roll-up tarp.)
  • Optional Roll Tarp
    A convenient roll-up cover helps protect your fertilizer from the elements. (This option isn’t compatible with the top screen.)
  • Optional 11.75″ Hopper Extensions
