Category: Skid Steer Spreader

A skid steer spreader is a versatile piece of equipment used for spreading materials such as salt, sand, gravel, and seed. It is designed to be attached to the front of a skid steer loader, allowing the operator to easily control the flow and distribution of the material.

The spreader consists of a hopper, which is mounted on a frame that can be attached to the skid steer. The hopper is usually made of durable materials such as steel or polyethylene and can hold anywhere from a few hundred pounds to several thousand pounds of material, depending on the size of the spreader.

The skid steer spreader is powered by the hydraulics of the skid steer, which drives an auger or spinner mechanism that dispenses the material. The operator can control the flow rate of the material, as well as the width and direction of the spread, using the skid steer’s controls.

Skid steer spreaders are commonly used in a variety of applications, including winter maintenance for roads and parking lots, landscaping, and agricultural operations. They are especially useful for small or hard-to-reach areas where larger spreading equipment cannot access.

In addition to being highly maneuverable and versatile, skid steer spreaders are also relatively easy to maintain. They typically require little more than regular cleaning and lubrication of moving parts, and occasional replacement of wear items such as belts or bearings.

Overall, a skid steer spreader is a valuable addition to any skid steer operator’s arsenal, providing efficient and precise spreading capabilities for a wide range of materials and applications.
