This new Herd Kasco Model 2440 3-Point Hitch 32 Bushel Broadcast Seeder/Spreader is built entirely in the USA for Category 2 Tractors. This Herd Model 2440 is the BIG ONE!
The Herd Model 2440 Broadcaster has a 32 bushel or 2440 lbs. capacity and has a base plate that will pivot to center the pattern of any material. This seeder will consistently and evenly spread all types of seeds and granulated or palletized fertilizer. Also works well with dry lime with the optional lime agitator. It will spread uniformly from 3 ft. up to 40 ft.
With Herd's precision metering system, you can control spreading of seeds down to 3 lbs. per acre or fertilizer from 50 to 1000 lbs. per acre. The operator can open and close the seed gate from the tractor seat with the hydraulic remote control! (requires 8" stroke cylinder, with 28-3/8" extended length. Not included).
The Herd 2440 has a maneuverable size that works well for farms, nurseries, schools, golf courses, parks, etc.
