Ventrac Drop Spreader

The pitch: Ventrac's Drop Spreader is designed with a narrow frame and a 40" drop pattern, making it ideal for spreading material on sidewalks and other narrow walkways. The stainless steel construction prevents premature failure due to rust and corrosion.

  • The 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. An agitation system prevents material bridging and eliminates the need for a traditional, noisy vibration motor.
  • 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.
