When you receive your spreader you will find some ¼” x 1 ½” grade two bolts attached to the front hitch/tongue. These are the replacement shear bolts for your spreader.
This video walks through basic maintenance, adjustments, and overview of the ABI PTO Spreaders. The spreader in the video is a 185cf model, but the basic principles apply to all spreader sizes.
The optional manual end gate can be purchased to help prevent manure from flowing to the back while in its down position. While the end gate is in the up position you can protect yourself slightly from the rogue manure being flown forwards occasionally.
The optional fines pan helps collect the manure that did not get put through the spreader which then would fall to the ground.
ABI Manure Spreaders are covered by ABI’s Performance Guarantee and a 3 Year Limited warranty. More warranty information listed above.
