Hi... I’m in the market for a Cat 1, PTO powered, 3 point hitch broadcast spreader capable of spreading sand during winter conditions. I’m familiar with the clogging problems that occur with frozen sand and fine dry sand is preferred when using a broadcast spreader. My tractor is stored in a heated garage and the spreader will be topped off prior to garaging, awaiting the next storm.
I recently came across the Herd Spreaders’ web site http://www.herdseeder.com and they offer what I like. They claim that “Herd can spread WET sand OUTSIDE and sand mixed with salt or calcium chloride.”
I was looking for some feed back from folks that have used Herd Spreaders in the fields or better yet, sanding operations during winter conditions.
(FYI, my 4wd 41HP tractor is equipped all around with V-BAR Duo-Grip tire chains and tires are loaded.)
Thank you in advance for any input, opinions or advice you can provide me.
