NITRO commerical series spreaders offer slip slide poly board floors and walls, a guillotine endgate, reversible apron chain, and quick drop beaters.  The guillotine endgate can be held in any position controlling how much material is able to be moved to the beaters by the variable speed apron chain.  This method of delivery provides consistent metering wheather working with pen pack or semi-solids.  With the recent addition of the tri-axle models, you get all these features plus reduced compaction, easlier turning and more.  Removeable beater assemblies provide increased value and functionality, allowing the NITRO to operate as a rear discharge trailer with a live floor when not spreading.  With a wide variety of models and configurations there's a NITRO for every operation.

KUHN Knight EasySpread® 1200 Series box spreaders are designed to haul and spread solid materials from small dairies and stables, including gutter manure, yard scrapings and bedding pack. These spreaders are built with quality components, yet are economical to meet the needs of the smaller livestock producer. The EasySpread box spreaders have a clean, streamlined design that sets the standard for small-capacity box spreaders. The low overall height of these machines makes for easy loading under barn cleaners and for use by small skid loaders.

The all-steel welded construction provides a solid framework and includes a reinforced tongue that pulls directly from the full-width axle. This results in a stronger, more dependable spreader since the unit is pulled from the axle rather than the front of the box.

The one-piece poly floor provides more strength and durability than individual tongue and groove boards. It reduces friction resulting in lower horsepower requirements than alternative types of floors. The 1219 is equipped with a polylaminate floor.

Valued for their effectiveness, the tandem spreaders are manufactured with the same quality as the directional spreaders and remain a wise and economical choice for the smaller farms.

Our tandem axle is closed by a full length central tube, providing more resistance to twisting than the conventional open tandem axle. Its specific "V" shape design lowers the reservoir, thereby reducing the height of the center of gravity for greater stability. The wheels are located closer to the reservoir reducing the flex on the axle. The mounting system of the adjustable tandem under the tank can move the wheels forward to decrease the load on the draw bar or move the wheels behind to increase the load.

During cornering, the front tires of non-steerable tankers must skid sideways, while Valmetal Sterrable Manure Tankers turn the wheels into the corner restulting in easy, natural turning.  Steerable tankers not only reduce tire wear and strain on the axles, steering also reduces road and field damage.  Steering also minimizes the "jackknife" forece on the tractor during cornering so Valmetal's high-speed steering systems helps make road travel safer.  The fully automatic system needs no operator input, and the extremely simple construction is easy-to-maintain.  All Valmetal Manure Tankers are loaded with features to make the job easier and safer ... front and rear fill indicators, front ladder, non-skid top walkway, super-duty discharge elbow and long-lasting LED Signal Lights are all standard equipment.  The option Hardox-450 upgrade delivers long impeller life in sand bedding, while the swing-open front door makes cleaning or servicing easy.  The reliable oil-bath bearing assembly on the impeller is protected by 5 seals, providing trouble-free operation.

Choose from Auto-Trac models (3,600-5,600 US gallon) or the industrial Maxx-Trac models (4,000-10,200 US gallon).
