Bobcat Salt and Sand Spreader

Bobcat Salt and Sand Spreader.

Need to spread sand and salt for winter maintenance? Or seed and fertilizer for lawn care? Whatever the job, the Bobcat spreader gets it done right and provides the versatility for all types of spreading jobs. Bobcat’s spreader attachment can be used to maintain parking lots, sidewalks, driveways and alleys. And the corrosion-free, all-poly hopper stands up to tough sand and salt combinations.

The Hydraulic Spreader (HS8) attachment is Bobcat’s first hydraulic spreader. The self-loading hopper on the HS8 has an open top and can be used as a bucket, allowing an operator to efficiently fill the spreader from a pile rather than pour material into the top. The spreader is equipped with a hopper grate to ensure no unwanted debris get into the spreader. With an 8 cubic foot hopper, the spread pattern is controlled by a hydraulic motor and three material flow gates which spread from 18 to 28 feet. The three individual gates, located on the hopper, maintain the rate of material spread. A sidewalk kit is available and, depending on the mounting location, this spread pattern can even be compressed to 29 to 37 inches for sand and salt spreading on sidewalks.
