Ventrac Introduces New Sidewalk Drop Spreader

This patent pending Drop Spreader is designed for the commercial snow contractor who needs the ultimate tool for spreading a variety of deicing materials with precise flow control. With a narrow frame and a 40″ drop pattern, this spreader is ideal for spreading material on sidewalks and other narrow walkways. The stainless steel construction prevents premature failure due to rust and corrosion.
The innovative compression roller system allows operators to accurately spread both coarse and free flowing materials. An easy gate adjustment allows for fine tuning flow rates based on the type of material being spread and the desired quantity being applied. The wireless remote control regulates five motor speeds for quick flow adjustments from the operator seat. A state-of-the-art agitation system prevents material bridging and eliminates the need for a traditional, noisy vibration motor.

Product Compatibility
Unique to this products’ design is the ability to be universally mounted to other power unit platforms. With mounting options for a 2″ receiver hitch or a category one three-point hitch, the Ventrac Sidewalk Drop Spreader can be easily attached to other sub-compact tractors, ATV’s or UTV’s, making this a very versatile unit.
