| Muck & Slurry New rear discharge spreader from Harry West (Prees) Ltd Harry West machinery are introducing their new “Maelstrom”8 rear discharge spreaders. he Maelstrom unit incorporates the new “Y” shape body giving additional volume but allowing a low loading height of 1.95m. This allows for a wider loading access of 1.9m and 4.5m long allowing for quick and easy fill with any material handler. The low height design gives good stability on uneven ground. The rear spreader benefits from the care and attention giving to all West machines in its design and construction. The twin vertical beaters fitted with specially designed blades spinning at 400 rpm offer an even and consistent spread pattern and handles all types of manure, waste and are driven by new highly rated T gearboxes. This coupled with two 14mm hardened chain drives rated to 65ton strain and pad less connectors connecting the bars to the chain ensures a long and productive life. LED lights are fitted as standard as well as wide angle p.t.o. which is driven through a slip clutch unit giving additional protection to the machine.
