Features
Hydraulic or Two-Speed Apron Drives

The hydraulic apron drive, optional on all Frontier™ heavy-duty models, provides versatile load movement with variable speeds. The two-speed apron drive includes low-speed, high-speed, and cleanout modes.
Better Cutting Coverage and Versatile Spreading Action

With one of the largest beaters on the market, 29 in. (73.7 cm) in diameter, the MS12 Series Spreaders cover more area from top to bottom to handle big loads with ease. Faster tip-speed provides a wide uniform spread. Paddle assemblies match the material: blunt for wide spread patterns and sharp, ripper-type paddles for more aggressive action.
Built Rugged for Years of Dependable Service

Spreader boxes are constructed of corrosion-resistant, galvanized steel to ensure long life. The entire spreader box is poly-bonded to marine-type plywood for easy cleaning and minimal freeze up, reducing the amount of torque needed to move heavier loads.
