Description
PTO broadcast spreaders require clumsy universal drive shafts that bind and bend when tractors turn sharp corners. The Agri-Fab 240 Lbs 3 Cu Ft 3 Point Electric Broadcast Spreader uses a standalone 12 Volt motor to eliminate mechanical PTO shafts on utility tractors. It holds 240 pounds of granular media. Spreading wide patterns requires constant forward tractor speed.
The structural hopper frame uses heavy-wall tubular steel protected with an industrial epoxy powder coat that repels caustic chemical fertilizer salts. A dense polyethylene hopper bowl resists chemical rot and cold-weather fractures. The broadcast system employs an enclosed 12 Volt high-torque direct-current motor turning a balanced polypropylene spinner disc, while internal stainless steel linkage rods resist seizing from corrosive chemical dust.
Three Point Electric Broadcaster Hardware
Electric spinner drive maintains constant throw width regardless of tractor engine RPM or ground travel speed. Category 1 three-point hitch pins mount straight to compact utility tractor lift arms.
- 240-pound hopper payload capacity holds three full 50-pound bags of commercial fertilizer or seed.
- Category 1 three-point hitch architecture mounts to commercial sub-compact and compact utility tractors.
- Enclosed 12 Volt electric spinner motor delivers consistent rotational torque without tractor PTO shafts.
- Polypropylene broadcast impeller throws seed and granular fertilizer in adjustable arcs up to 20 feet wide.
- In-cab remote wiring harness includes an on-off toggle switch to control spreading from the tractor seat.
- Adjustable slide-gate rate control lever sets accurate discharge volume for various seed blends.
- Clear protective rain cover keeps moisture from clumping dry granular fertilizers inside the hopper.
Electrical Current Telemetry Spread Tests
Under a full 240-pound payload of high-density urea fertilizer, the 12 Volt motor draws 14 Amps at maximum throw velocity. Electric motor casing temperature reaches 122°F after 60 minutes of uninterrupted pasture spreading. The broadcast impeller maintains 680 RPM with zero fluctuation under heavy granule drop rates. Operating acoustic output registers 56 dBA measured six feet from the tractor three-point arms.
Tractor Spreader Envelope Field Directives
Small acreage managers, sports turf groundskeepers, and commercial estate caretakers apply seed and fertilizer fast using this electric rig. Do not load coarse aggregate gravel or damp bulk highway rock salt into this unit because heavy chunks will stall the electric motor. Never operate the tractor without securing the electrical harness clear of the three-point arms.
- Wash corrosive fertilizer dust from the hopper and spinner using low-pressure water after each project.
- Coat the slide-gate linkage and hardware with rust-preventative oil every 30 days of active service.
- Inspect the three-point hitch pins and retaining lynch pins for metal wear prior to each work shift.
