The Model 65PT is
designed to spread
compost, sand, and
topdressing blends. The
unit is available with two
types of tongue - one to fit
the drawbars of
conventional, 4-wheel
tractors and one to fit 2-
wheel, walk-behind
tractors. Attach tongue to
drawbar using a threaded
bolt and secure with a nut
or with the proper hitch
pin.

To Begin Spreading,
engage the clutch pin on
the left side of the
machine. Adjust the
endgate opening using
the adjustment handle,
(see Maintenance #6) so
that it is open the right
width for the spread depth
desired.
Important Operating Information
• Clean spreader completely after
each use. Pressure wash the
conveyor rollers weekly through their
access holes.
• All compost or topdressing materials
being run through the spreader unit
must be screened to ½O minus in
order to flow freely and avoid clogging
the feed opening.
• To increase the service life of
spreader unit, material should never
be stored in spreader.
