ANY JOB. ANY CONDITION. Designed to attach to a wide variety of vehicles, the WESTERN® PRO-FLO™ 525 and PRO-FLO™ 900 poly tailgate spreaders feature a two-stage, auger-fed delivery system and dual variable-speed control for consistent and efficient flow of all types of de-icing materials. |
Corrosion-Resistant HopperPRO-FLO™ 525 and PRO-FLO™ 900 tailgate spreaders feature corrosion-free polyethylene hoppers for long-lasting durability. |
Material DeliveryMaterial is delivered by a heavy-duty, powder coated, horizontal steel auger to provide long-lasting, reliable performance. When an obstruction occurs, the transverse auger delivery system can reduce downtime by automatically backing itself in and out until the obstruction is cleared or a required adjustment has been made. |
Dual Electric MotorsTwo instant-start, 12-volt electric motors provide quiet, reliable, independent control over the auger and spinner mechanisms. The spinner motor is sealed inside a weather-resistant housing, protecting it from corrosion. |
Dual Variable-Speed ControlEnhanced, dual variable-speed control allows you to precisely match material delivery and spread patterns to conditions. Four standard accessory buttons and a dedicated blast button provide optimum in-cab efficiency. Easy-to-understand, digital self-diagnostics alert the operator when the spreader is empty or when adjustments are needed, and LEDs make the control easy to read. Its compact size compared to traditional controls fits easily into today's modern truck cab designs. |
Spinner & Spreading WidthThe PRO-FLO™ 525 tailgate spreader features a 10" spinner made of nylon/glass reinforced resin, and delivers a spread pattern of up to 30'. The PRO-FLO™ 900 tailgate spreader features a 12" steel spinner and delivers a spread pattern of up to 40'. |
Inverted V / VibratorThe standard inverted V helps keep sufficient material weight off of the auger, ensuring smooth startup and flow of material. The inverted V is directly connected to a 12-volt vibrator to help reduce bridging and keep material moving to the auger. |
Accessory IntegrationConveniently connect accessories directly into the spreader module mounted in the spinner motor enclosure. Accessories automatically integrate with the tailgate control without having to run additional wires from the front of the truck. |
Top ScreenThe standard coated steel top screen helps break up large chunks of de-icing material during the loading process to help prevent clogging and bridging during spreader operation. |
CoverA latching, molded polyethylene lid protects de-icing material from the elements. |
Mounting OptionsThe PRO-FLO™ 525 tailgate spreader comes standard with a combination 2" receiver hitch and 3-point tractor mount for use on multiple vehicle types. The PRO-FLO™ 900 tailgate spreader* requires the additional purchase of one of the available mount options: a pivot mount, a 2" receiver hitch mount (requires additional adapter), or a 3-point hitch mount. *Mounts sold separately. |
MATERIAL CONTROL TUBEPrevent leaking issues when using fine pellet and flake materials, such as many commercially available non-salt ice melt materials. The material control tube is a sleeve that holds the auger and prevents expensive, fine grain ice melt materials from uselessly leaking out as you drive down the road. |
UTV SPREADER CONTROL SHIELDKeep your UTV spreader control protected from the elements with the UTV Spreader Control Shield. A molded, plastic “visor” attaches to the top of the UTV spreader control to protect it from the rain or snow. |
CONTROL CUP HOLDER MOUNTPut a hard stop to juggling controls and cell phones. Functional and practical, the Control Cup Holder Mount lets you secure your WESTERN spreader controls or your smartphone (not included) on a flexible gooseneck mount for optimal, customizable positioning. This compact, easy-to-install genuine WESTERN accessory is designed to fit firmly into most size cup holders in your vehicle (image featuring plow control). Now compatible with spreader controls using a Spreader Control Adapter Plate, order separately (#82018). |
