Description
The BRABER BE-23MS 23-Bushel Tow-Behind Manure Spreader is a two-wheel, ground-driven manure spreader designed to tow behind a tractor or ATV for loading, hauling, and distributing manure across pasture and field. Its 29 ft³ load capacity, adjustable hitch, ground-driven beater and apron, durable welded steel construction, and transport end gate provide a practical configuration for routine manure-handling work. With a 400 lb weight including tires and a 27.5 in loading height, the BE-23MS combines useful capacity with a compact design for tow-behind operation.
Built for Ground-Driven Spreading
The BE-23MS uses a two-wheel ground-driven system, so the beater and apron operate through the spreader’s ground-driven mechanism. An 18 in steel beater fitted with eight replaceable paddles helps process material as it moves through the spreader. The 5/16 in T-rod apron chain is gold-zinc plated and works with the high-density poly-vinyl 3/4 in apron bed to support the movement of material toward the beater.
An adjustable chain tensioner supports adjustment of the apron system, while greaseable wheel hubs simplify routine service. The adjustable hitch helps configure the spreader for tow-behind use with a tractor or ATV. Specific towing vehicle requirements are not stated in the manufacturer specifications.
Durable Construction and Practical Handling
The spreader features fully welded 12-gauge steel construction and an industrial powder-coated finish. These construction details provide a robust frame for manure-handling applications. The transport end gate helps contain material during transport, while the 27.5 in loading height provides a defined height for loading operations.
A swivel jack rated at 2,000 lb supports the front of the spreader when it is not connected for towing. The unit measures 77 in × 28 in × 16.7 in and weighs 400 lb with tires.
