Performance and Operation
The MS300 uses a 540 rpm PTO operating configuration and is also specified for 1,000 rpm PTO capability. Its twin vertical augers are intended for wet, heavy manure applications, while the spreading system provides a maximum spread width of 52 ft (15.8 m). The spreader has a maximum net load of 19,000 lb (8,618.3 kg), subject to appropriate loading and operating conditions.
Hydraulic operation requires two double-acting hydraulic circuits and 20 gpm (80 L/min) hydraulic flow. The unit is specified with an 80 hp (59.7 kW) recommended PTO horsepower requirement. Confirm that the tractor meets the PTO, hydraulic, implement capacity and operating requirements before use.
