Description
Vermeer MS300 Twin-Auger Manure Spreader is a 300-cu-ft manure spreader designed for handling and distributing wet, heavy manure with consistent performance. Its twin vertical augers provide versatility and a maximum spread width of up to 52 ft, while the fully welded body, heavy-duty floor drive, and robust chain components support demanding agricultural use. With a maximum net load of 19,000 lb and a recommended tractor PTO requirement of 80 hp, the MS300 is suited to farms and agricultural operations requiring substantial material capacity, dependable unloading, and effective field distribution.
Efficient Handling of Wet, Heavy Manure
The MS300 uses twin vertical augers to process and distribute wet, heavy manure. Boron auger flighting and heat-treated boron teeth are designed for demanding spreading conditions, while the one-piece gearbox incorporates a sight glass for convenient monitoring. A vertical lift endgate helps manage material flow, and full-width floor slats support movement of material through the spreader.
The floor system combines an RT350/50 floor drive with a heavy-duty 80-grade chain and a floor-chain tensioning system. Ground-level greasing helps make routine service more accessible, and the fully welded body is built for agricultural workloads. Together, these features provide a practical configuration for repeated manure loading, transport, and spreading.
