Northern Ireland-based Quad-X designs and manufactures a range of ATV equipment aimed at aiding grassland management when ground conditions make access with a tractor impossible or unwelcome due to the compaction and damage it would cause.
Quad-X plastic-coated spreaders have the lowest fill height of any similar unit and save those back-breaking stretches to reach the hopper with 50kg bags balanced on your shoulder. An average man can fill the Quad-X seven-bag spreader with the bag lifted to between waist and chest height.
With a 350kg capacity and optional extension sides to carry 500kg or 600kg, this Quad-X spreader is also ideal for using with bulk fertiliser bags.
The machine is ground-driven, and has an unrivalled spreading width, that’s easily adjusted by regulating the towing vehicles speed. The steel frame and hopper is strong and sturdy and avoids any problem of cracks that can appear in plastic hoppers. The plastic-coated finish ensures excellent resistance to the corrosive nature of fertiliser making the sower superior than galvanised versions.
In response to the request for a stable sower that can work in wet conditions, the Quad-X spreader has an extra-wide axle that, coupled with the low height of the hopper, makes for a machine that’s very stable. Flotation tyres make it suitable for softer ground.
