Description
The BRABER BE-PFS250G 3-Point PTO Poly Broadcast Spreader is a dependable material-spreading solution for Category 1 tractors and selected larger tractors with compatible lift-arm geometry. Designed for fertilizer, seed, and other broadcast-spreading applications, it combines a 550 lb hopper capacity with a 540 RPM PTO drive, manual controls, and three selectable spread patterns. Its heavy-duty corrosion-resistant poly hopper includes a stainless-steel insert, while the bottom-drop spinner helps distribute material from the tractor-mounted unit. A weatherproof spreader cover is included for added protection when the spreader is not in use.
Reliable PTO Broadcast Spreading
The BE-PFS250G operates through a tractor’s 540 RPM PTO and mounts using a Category 1, 3-point hitch. This configuration provides a practical way to carry and operate the spreader from the rear of a compatible tractor. With a 550 lb material capacity and a 120 lb dry weight, the spreader is suited to routine agricultural, property-maintenance, and grounds-management tasks where broadcast application is required.
Manual controls provide straightforward operation, and the three spread patterns allow the operator to select the desired distribution setting for the application. The bottom-drop spinner supports material flow from the hopper to the spinning distribution mechanism, while the poly hopper and stainless-steel insert are designed for a durable, corrosion-resistant construction.

Tractor Compatibility and Requirements
The BRABER BE-PFS250G is designed for tractors equipped with a Category 1, 3-point hitch and a 540 RPM PTO. The specified PTO tractor horsepower rating is 20–50 HP. It is compatible with most Category I tractors. Some larger Category 0 tractors may also be suitable when their lift-arm geometry provides the required fit. Larger Category II tractors may be compatible when the lift arms narrow to approximately 26 inches.
Confirm the tractor’s hitch category, lift-arm geometry, PTO speed, and PTO horsepower rating before installation and operation. Fitment for Category 0 and Category II tractors depends on the specific tractor configuration.
Construction and Operation
The spreader uses a heavy-duty poly hopper with a stainless-steel insert for a corrosion-resistant material-handling assembly. The bottom-drop spinner and manual controls are arranged for simple operation from the tractor-mounted implement. Three spread patterns are available to support different spreading requirements, and the included cover helps protect the spreader when stored or transported.
