Description
The Vermeer MS300 Twin-Auger Manure Spreader is a 300-cu-ft manure spreader designed for demanding agricultural applications involving wet, heavy manure. Its twin vertical augers help deliver versatile, consistent spreading performance, while the fully welded body, heavy-duty floor chain, one-piece gearbox, and full-width floor slats support durable operation in the field. This supplied configuration is identified with a 1,000-rpm PTO and 500/50-22.5 tires, providing a high-capacity solution for tractors equipped with the required PTO and hydraulic systems.
Built for Wet, Heavy Manure
The MS300 uses twin vertical augers to process and distribute wet, heavy manure. Heat-treated boron teeth and boron auger flighting are designed for demanding material-handling conditions. A maximum spread width of 52 feet helps cover a broad area during field application, while the 300-cu-ft heaped capacity and 19,000-lb maximum net load support productive spreading cycles.
The spreader features a fully welded body with a 0.2-inch floor plate and 0.2-inch side plates. Its heavy-duty 80-grade floor chain, 5/8-inch chain size, RT350/50 floor drive, and full-width floor slats provide a robust material-handling system. The vertical-lift endgate helps manage the load during spreading, and ground-level greasing points simplify access for routine lubrication.
