Fertilizer/seed spreader for 3039R cab model

Hayseed Andy · Mar 18, 2021

I have been doing research for a spreader for fertilizer and seed for a 3039R cab model. I don't want want the tow-behind model. In looking at literature, videos, etc, it seems most of the tractors running the spreaders are ROPS models. I anyone familiar with utilizing these with a cab model? I am sure it's just a coincidence, however any input is appreciated.

Suspect they are mounted on the 3ph, so would not make a difference whether cab or open station. Could be wrong too.

I had the same thoughts, however since I couldn't seem to find any videos or photos with a cab, I began to wonder. Even the guy at the local shop said he was going to double check.

Which spreader(s) models are you looking at?

Frontier so far. Figured I'd keep it inline with Deere. I am open to suggestions, though.

It will not make any difference between Cab or ROPs to use a spreader. Around my area, Cab tractors probably outnumber ROP Tractors about 3 to 1; and most are using spreaders right now for spring planting. Some landowners use their own tractors, but most hire contractors for planting.

Perfect. Thank you.

I have a spreader on my Branson 4815 cab right now. It works fine. I just leave the back window open to reach the spreader handle. The only potential issue is do not raise 3pt or the spreader will take out the back window.

I'd have to tell the boss I needed more access to the handle. Not that she would believe it, of course.
