Loftness Orchard Spreader

Overview
Overview

 Os170 Overview Compact Design. Big Benefits.

The OS170 spreader from Loftness is designed to meet the needs of modern orchards and vineyards. That’s because it has a higher capacity, lower profile and narrower width than other spreaders on the market. It spreads dry material with superior precision and offers stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance. Not to mention, it provides the durability and reliability that producers have come to expect from Loftness products.

  Variable Rate Ready

Precision Applications:

An optional hydraulic conveyor belt drive can increase or decrease the fertilizer feed rate, independent of the ground speed. A prescription can also be loaded into your monitor to control how much fertilizer is applied to each management zone of the orchard, vineyard or field. If one area needs more nitrogen than another, for instance, the fertilizer rate will adjust automatically according to the GPS position.

  Features

  4Dual Stainless-Steel Spinners

Dual stainless-steel spinners produce a consistent spread pattern from 20 to 60 feet wide for lime, or 40 to 90 feet wide for fertilizer.

  Belt-Over-Chain Design

A 24-inch belt-over 88C chain design is ideal for providing a consistent flow of lime to the spinners, and also works well for fertilizer applications.

  Obstruction-Free Interior

The 409 stainless-steel hopper is smooth with a 50-degree slope, minimal flat surfaces and no internal gussets or plates to accumulate lime or fertilizer. This results in a much cleaner system that maximizes material flow and helps prevent corrosion.

  Two-Bearing Design

Only two bearing part numbers for all driveline components on the machine greatly simplifies the maintenance and replacement process.

  Adjustable Hitch

The hitch has a moveable clevis to accommodate a wider range of drawbar heights, and allows for leveling of the spreader. The hitch is also integral to the frame, while the suspension pulls from the hitch to lower the amount of frame stress.

  41-Inch Frame Clearance

A 41-inch frame clearance allows the spreader to be used for in-season applications in row crops.

Adjustable Row Spacing

The wheels are adjustable from 80 to 120 inches wide to accommodate a variety of row spacings. 90- to 152-inch adjustable wheel spacing is optional.
