BEFCO Turbo Hop 301 Pendulum Spreader

BEFCO 301 Fertilizer Spreader

This rugged pendulum spreader is engineered to handle the tough demands of American farmers and landowners, providing precise spreading of fertilizer, seed, salt, and sand with unmatched reliability. Designed for tractors with 20 to 60 HP, it features a sturdy tubular frame and a heavy-duty cast steel gearbox submerged in oil bath, ensuring long-lasting durability and smooth operation even under the harshest conditions.

At the core of its performance lies a corrosion-resistant polyethylene hopper, built to withstand years of exposure without cracking or fading. Its narrow width makes it perfect for working in tight quarters like vineyards and nurseries where accuracy and maneuverability matter most. Multiple spread patterns—full width, half width, band spreading, and left or right only—allow you to tailor applications to your specific needs, increasing efficiency and cutting down on wasted materials.

Equipped with a stainless steel distribution unit and a cast iron anti-wear agitator, this spreader keeps materials flowing consistently to the spout for an even and controlled spread every time. The micrometric flow control adjustment and clear graded scale offer easy, precise calibration, so you can trust your equipment to perform exactly as needed.

Built by Americans, for Americans, this dependable spreader stands ready to work as hard as you do, season after season. When you invest in this tool, you’re not just upgrading your equipment — you’re supporting American craftsmanship and the relentless spirit of those who tend the land with grit and pride.
