Exmark introduces spreader attachment

BEATRICE, Neb. – Exmark introduced a spreader attachment for its Stand-On Aerator. The spreader attachment can be used for over-seeding in conjunction with aeration programs.

Exmark Product Manager, Lloyd von Scheliha, said the spreader attachment is a way to further expand the utility of Exmark’s stand-on aerator. “The Exmark Aerator Spreader Attachment is a response to our customers’ requests asking for a way to increase the versatility and revenue opportunities of the highly productive Stand-on Aerator. By combining two important operations into one piece of equipment, operators will be able to do more in less time, leading to the increased profit potential of each program.”

Aeration creates the ideal soil conditions for seed germination. “Whether you over-seed while aerating, or immediately following aeration, the seed has more opportunities for increased soil contact that’s vital to successful germination,” Von Scheliha said.

The hopper can carry up to 80-pounds of seed and has an adjustable seed gate. The controls give the operator the ability to activate the spinner or adjust spinner speed to change the broadcast width. The attachment comes standard with a hopper cover to keep material dry and in the hopper during transport and also has a manual blocker door.
