Introducing the all-new line
of Frontier Heavy-duty
Manure Spreaders, available
exclusively through your
John Deere dealer!

With

seven models from 235- to
660-bushel capacity, there’s a
rugged Frontier spreader that’s

These spreaders boast one of
the largest beaters on the

spread patterns. Various
paddle assemblies deliver
greater spreading control;
blunt for widespread, and
sharp, ripper-type paddles

heaped loads.

Frontier
spreaders are constructed of
a massive welded frame,
reinforced with heavy floor
supports and side stakes for
tremendous strength and
durability. The entire spreader
box is poly-bonded for easy
cleaning and minimal freeze
up, and comes with a limited
lifetime warranty!* Check out

All-new Frontier Manure Spreaders: Built tough for the long haul

Rugged, heavy-duty construction
Massive all-welded frame features heavy-duty floor and side stakes, and wrap-
around steel front corners. Rear main-beater side panels are welded to durable
5-inch U-channel side members for extra strength, reliability.

Easy cleaning, smooth unloading
Entire spreader box is poly-bonded to marine-type plywood for easy cleaning and
minimal freeze up, reducing the amount of torque needed to move heavier loads.

Paddle assemblies match your material; blunt for wide spread patterns, and sharp,
ripper-type paddles for more aggressive shredding action.

Tackle high-heaped loads
Top beater makes easy work of high-heaped loads.

(Standard on MS1256 and MS1266, optional on all other heavy-duty models)

Easy apron adjustment
Adjust the main apron by simply loosening the two side bolts and pulling up
the long bolt. Simple and fast.

Hydraulic endgate
Helps contain high-moisture loads and prevents spillage during transport.

(Optional on MS1223 and MS1227, standard on all other heavy-duty models)

Better cutting coverage
With one of the largest beaters on the market – 29 inches in diameter – these
spreaders cover more area from top to bottom to handle big loads with ease. Faster
tip-speed provides a wide, uniform spread.

Efficient load movement
Strong, double main-apron chain handles heavy loads with ease.

(Standard on MS1256 and MS1266)

Longer component life
Apron idler sprockets are made from rugged cast, steel alloy. They last far longer
than idler sprockets found on other spreaders.
