Meyers - Model MS485 -Compost Spreader
The Model MS485 Compost Spreader by Meyer`s Equipment Manufacturing Corporation is engineered to provide efficient compost spreading with a standard rock guard that prevents large rocks and debris from reaching the tractor cab. The unit comes equipped with a hydraulic gate, adhering to ASAE 324.2 JUL2018 standards for volumetric capacity calculations of open-top manure spreaders. This advanced compost spreading solution ensures optimal distribution and handling, making it an ideal choice for agricultural applications requiring precise and reliable performance.
All Solid Poly Box
Our box features a 1/2" thick High Density Solid Poly Floor and 3/4" thick Solid Poly sides for easy cleaning and minimal freeze up. Also, less friction means less force needed to pull the load off. The hydraulic end gate and front panel are also lined with poly.
Beaters
Our 485 Compost spreader comes standard with two 20-1/2” horizontal beaters, two 40” bottom spinner discs & knives.
35 Series CAT 6 80° CV PTO Drive Shaft
The constant velocity universal joint allows smooth machine operation through a wide range of motion. The CV delivers constant power by self-canceling torque and speed fluctuations typically found in single cardan-type universal joints. The HP rating from this drive shaft gives you more than enough power to chew through those tough loads.
Ø1-3/8"-21 Spline or Ø1-3/4"-20 Spline (1000 RPM)
Automatic Over-Running Clutch
An automatic clutch built in to the rear PTO drive shaft offers a level of implement overload protection not possible with other types of clutches. The compact, efficient design disconnects the power source from the drivetrain when overload occurs, and does not reconnect until the speed is reduced to near-zero. During disengagement, the patented design does not allow or generate damaging torque spikes or heat. An audible clattering noise alerts the operator when it has disconnected. A built-in overrunning feature allows the beaters to coast to a stop when the PTO is disengaged.
Pintle Chain Apron
A dual 667XH Pintle Apron Chain is our standard apron on this unit. The open barrel design helps eliminate material buildup in the root of the sprockets and features smoother operation, uniform link wear, and greater resistance to fatigue. All heattreated parts and quad-staked pins.
We also offer an 88C pintle apron chain as an option, which is a heavier version of the standard chain.
The 88C Pintle Channel is 2" Wide x 1" Tall x 3/16" Thick
Heavy-Duty Hydraulic Apron Drive
An In-Line Parallel Shaft Gear Reducer with a 43.6:1 ratio drives a Ø2-3/8" shaft. Very high efficiency and torque. No worm gear also means less heat and more durability, along with better seal & lube life. Bevel and cylindrical forged gears made from the best material available today. Manufactured by BERMA, a world leader.
Hydraulic drive is standard with built-in overload relief protection. Provides variable unloading speeds to match load, ground speed, or application rate requirements.
Available control options include standard tractor-operated flow control, a manual flow control valve with "twist hose", or an electric flow control valve with a control box located in the tractor cab.
Can be ordered with either the compost head
or pen-pack head (shown in photo)
Optional Scale Kit
Keep track of how much you are spreading with an optional scale kit system by Digi-Star. The 5 point load cell system offers accurate weight readings to a variety of indicators.
