Twin dynamically balanced vertical augers – Widebody

Twin 865mm diameter dynamically balanced vertical augers have flights laser cut from heat treated BORON steel to improve strength and service life. 20mm thick reversible hardened cutters manufactured using BORON steel are bolted and supported along back edge, shred products leaving a wide and even spread. Two fixed position BORON steel bottom blades per auger give wider spread widths of materials that are either fine or wet

Rocking beam tandem axle 26 tonne

Rocking beam offers strength and reliability in the toughest of conditions

530mm Flared Extensions

530mm Built in (UK)/Bolt on (rest of world) flared extension sides are standard on 230. They add considerable carrying capacity to machines, spreader design load capacity should be checked relative to the density of the material to be carried. Bolt on extensions are used for machines being containerised for transport

Full width floor slats – Widebody

Full width floor slats clear the whole floor eliminating the possibility of bridging – a problem sometimes encountered with multi slat floor systems. The socket fit design facilitates maintenance, which can be carried out in the field. It also allows the chain to pull straight, should a slat become bent

Floor chains – 20mm

Grade 80, 20mm heavy duty chains are drawn by high tensile sprockets. Sprockets are fitted to the front floor shaft as well as the driven rear shaft, ensuring perfect alignment and timing of the chains, which, in turn makes for a more reliable floor drive. Each chain has a 50 tonne breaking certificate

One Piece Gearbox – Widebody

The robust one piece gearbox houses internal gear sets unique to Bunnings in order to ensure that auger speeds are optimised to achieve excellent spread patterns. They are large in diameter with 54mm output shafts manufactured from heat treated steel. The precision machined castings ensure perfect alignment of all the driveline components

Heavy Duty T80 Drive line

The PTO drive line uses Heavy Duty T80 shafts with 1 ¾” splined connections suited for heavy, demanding materials

Floor drive gearbox RT800 TVA

The 800 series floor drive gearbox is hydraulically driven to ensure an even feed of material to the spreading mechanism at all times. With a reverse feature, any foreign object too large to pass through the beaters can be easily removed. An adjustable cross-line relief valve also delivers additional protection. The Widebody 380HD is fitted with 2 floor drive gearboxes as standard

Rubber cushion drive coupling

Blue Auger With Blades And Drive Coupling

Especially developed to reduce shock loads to the auger drive gearbox, the rubber cushion arrangement located between the output shaft of the auger gearbox and the base of the auger contributes to the reliability and longevity of the machine

18 Tonne Sprung Drawbar

For improved comfort when carrying heavy loads

Floor chain tensioning – Widebody

A robust, simple and reliable floor tensioning system ensures floor chain tension can be easily adjusted in order to be kept to its optimum setting. Floor chains are visible from the exterior of the machine making it easy to judge when tensioning is required

Floor shaft bushes – Widebody

60mm floor drive shafts rotate through polyester re-inforced composite bushes that contain a solid graphite filler, chosen for their high load applications in a variety of environments they are greasable, further extending their life. Bush highlighted in red

Slurry door height indicator

This options allows the operator to monitor door opening positions in relation to application rates

Large diameter bottom blades – Widebody

The 1.1m large diameter bottom blades can help to increase the spread width of some finer products, spread at low application rates and are most effective when used in conjunction with a Simple Canopy. Not available with lift off augers

Simple canopy – Widebody

Designed for use when spreading low applications of products like Lime and chicken litter, the canopy ensures that all material is spread by the bottom auger blades

Steel PTO guard

This option is designed to protect the PTO shaft from damage by the tractors lift arms

Dual floor drive (for sludge cake) upgrade

The option to upgrade to Dual 800 series floor drive gives higher torque to aid in spreading dense materials, especially sludge cake. Only available on Twin Vertical Auger spreaders. Standard on 380 TVA spreader

HMW Plastic Floor

HMW plastic floor virtually eliminates the possibility of products sticking to the floor of the spreader. It can also improve the flow of products with high friction values. The material is extremely durable and is in addition to the spreaders standard floor construction

Sludge Cake Build

A specialist auger design for machines that are purchased primarily to spread Bio-solids (sludgecake)

Sludge Cake Kit

This option includes closer position floor slats, angled pressings on the rear of the machine to prevent sticky products building up on flat surfaces and angle throwers on augers

Sludge cake pressings

Angled pressings on the rear of the machine to prevent sticky products building up on flat surfaces

Lift off augers

To enable the machine to be used for other jobs the auger assembly can be removed for the faster unloading of products such as grass, maize silage and even grain

Stone guard extension

The stone guard extension gives more protection to the tractor cab from stones being thrown forward by augers/beaters

Steel Mudguards – Tandem axle

Made from 4mm pressed steel, these mudguards will help to keep the side of the machine clean

LED front & rear Mudguard marker lights

These bright LED marker lights are fitted to the front & rear of the mudguards and give a positive marker to the overall width of the machine
