The Strautmann universal spreaders have been developed for use by contractors or larger farmers. These machines, which can be used for a wide range of applications and for any dispersible materials, are particularly interesting due to their excellent reliability and their low wear. With its wide range of spreader models and the various spreading units, Strautmann offers a suitable machine for each individual business requirement.

  • Loading capacity of 15.5-21m³, with power required from 90hp to 190hp.
  • Fully welded all-steel trough with spreading widths of up to 24m.
  • High-power four-beater spreading unit/two-disc wide-angle spreading unit.

    • Nicholas Dunne from IAM explained that Strautmann universal spreaders are exactly the right option if you consider manure to be a valuable fertiliser and you want to spread it accurately with an exact spreading pattern. The Strautmann universal spreaders can deal with earth, lime and compost with high accuracy, according to the manufacturer. Nicholas says the machine is designed for a long, trouble-free life. The spreader will be in action on the demo plots.

    Strautmann will also have their wagons on show working in conjunction with the Kverneland demo plot, where they can be seen in action. The Strautmann has its unique CFS rotor that accurately disperses the crop flow over the entire rotor and knives. According to Nicholas, this wagon is one of the market leaders in Ireland.
