Description
The Vermeer MS300 Twin-Auger Manure Spreader is a 300-cu-ft (8.5-cu-m) spreader designed for efficient manure handling and wide-area application. Built in Vermeer’s Twin Vertical Auger (TVA) configuration, it uses twin vertical augers, boron auger flighting, and heat-treated boron teeth to process and distribute material across a maximum spread width of 52 ft (15.8 m). This supplied configuration includes a 540-rpm PTO setup and standard 425/65 R22.5 tires, making it suited to tractors equipped for the specified PTO, hydraulic, and horsepower requirements.

Capacity and Spreading Performance
The MS300 provides 300 cu ft (8.5 cu m) of heaped capacity, with an inside bed measuring 165 in (419.1 cm) long, 59 in (149.9 cm) wide, and 37 in (94 cm) deep at the top of the flare. Its twin vertical augers are supported by boron flighting and heat-treated boron teeth, while the floor system uses an RT350/50 drive and a heavy-duty 80-grade floor chain. The spreader is rated for a maximum spread width of 52 ft (15.8 m), supporting broad coverage in manure-spreading applications.
Construction and Service Features
A fully welded body forms the main structure of the Vermeer MS300. The vertical-lift endgate provides the specified rear-gate arrangement, and ground-level greasing points are positioned to support convenient routine service access. The heavy-duty floor chain is sized at 5/8 in (16 mm), providing the specified floor-conveyor configuration for moving material toward the twin-auger spreading mechanism.
