The Model 2500 tailgate spreader comes standard with a Class IV receiver hitch mount. *Mounts sold separately.
Adjustable Feed Gate: On Model 2500, a specialized "saw tooth" feed gate and auger design combine to deliver complete, reliable flow control with positive shut-off, eliminating spillage and waste.
Controls: Choose between a variable speed control with an "on/off" button and blast option to optimize material usage or a basic "on/off" toggle control (controls are sold separately).
Electric Drive Motor: A fully enclosed 12-volt electric, 1/3 HP motor is mounted inside a sealed housing, protecting it from corrosion.
