Spreading Performance and Construction
The MS400 uses twin vertical augers to process and distribute wet, heavy manure across a broad working area. Its 400 cu ft heaped capacity and 25,000-lb maximum net load make it suitable for high-volume manure-handling operations, while the maximum spread width of 52 ft helps cover substantial ground during field application.
A fully welded body supports the spreader’s heavy-duty construction. The floor system combines a 1/2-in poly floor over a steel sub-floor with an 80-grade floor chain. Heat-treated boron auger flighting and teeth are used in the twin-auger spreading system, and ground-level greasing points help make regular servicing more accessible.
Tractor Requirements
The configured MS400 uses a 1,000-rpm PTO. The manufacturer-listed PTO speed range for the model is 540 rpm or 1,000 rpm, and this product configuration is identified for 1,000-rpm PTO operation. A tractor providing approximately 110 PTO hp is required. The tractor must also provide two double-acting hydraulic circuits and 20 gpm (80 L/min) hydraulic flow.
