The following specifications are designed to assist you in acquiring a FALLS® 9" Direct Drive Single Auger Hydraulic Tailgate Spreader or its equal. Differences in manufacturing designs are acknowledged. The dimensions within the specifications are intended to indicate the size, type, and quality of unit desired. |
|
|
Hopper:
|
Shall be minimum 7 gauge (.179"/4.55 mm) carbon steel, 96" (2.44 m) auger trough welded to 1/4" (.25"/6.35 mm) end plates. Internal seams to be continuously welded to eliminate corrosion pockets. Hopper shall be designed for easy auger removal. Top cover shall be one piece and hinged for "dump over" capability. Bottom cover/clean out door shall be one piece and hinged that one person can quickly open without tools to provide easy clean out of the auger. Top and bottom cover shall be constructed of the same material as the hopper. All covers shall have permanently attached locking handles. Anti-flow cover shall be provided over discharge opening to prevent material spillage when auger is stopped. |

Auger
&
Drive: |
Auger shall be minimum 9" (228.6 mm) diameter. Flighting shall be minimum 3/8" (9.53 mm) with 6" (152.4 mm) pitch. Flighting shall be welded to 2-5/8" (66.7 mm) O.D. X 2-1/16" (52.4 mm) I.D. steel tubing and supported by 1-1/4" shaft and shall be factory adapted to accept automatic spreader controls. The helical coil shall be mono-directional capable of feeding granular material in either direction. Auger direction shall be controlled by the hydraulic connection to the auger motor. Bearings shall be 1-1/4" (30.1 mm) self-aligning type with lubrication fittings. Auger drive shall be high-torque, low-speed hydraulic motor mounted directly to the auger. Auger motor shall be mounted on four (4) Lord's CBA12-200 center-bonded grommets to compensate for misalignment due to torque and other factors. |
|
Spinner:
|
Shall be 18" (457 mm) diameter with six (6) replaceable flights formed to provide uniform material spreading with low trajectory. Spinner and flights shall be minimum .179" (4.55mm) carbon steel. Spinner shall be adjustable left and right to control spreader pattern. Spinner shall be removable and shall include a deflector shield. Spinner drive shall be direct mounted high-torque, low-speed hydraulic motor mounted directly to the spinner. (Optional polyurethane spinner available) |
|
Berm
Chute:
|
Shall be included for RH dispersal of granular material. |
|
