SKID STEER ATTACHMENTS

MATERIAL SPREADER-Heavy duty

The Blue Diamond® Heavy Duty Material Spreader combines loading, transporting, and spreading material into one versatile skid steer attachment. Scoop material directly from the pile, carry it to the work area, and hydraulically spread salt, sand, seed, fertilizer, lime, and other compatible granular materials without changing attachments.

Available in 8- and 18-cu.-ft. capacities, the Heavy Duty Material Spreader operates at 10–20 GPM and provides an adjustable spread pattern from approximately 30 inches up to 30 feet, making it equally useful for narrow applications and large parking lots, roads, grounds, and agricultural properties.

LOAD IT WITH THE SAME ATTACHMENT THAT SPREADS IT

The self-loading design is what sets the Blue Diamond Heavy Duty Material Spreader apart from conventional hopper spreaders. Instead of using another machine or manually loading the hopper, the operator can use the attachment like a bucket to scoop material directly from a stockpile.

Once loaded, transport the material to the application area and engage the hydraulics to begin spreading. The hydraulic-driven steel agitator continually moves material toward the spreading system, helping reduce bridging and maintain a more consistent flow.

Scoop it. Carry it. Spread it. All with one attachment.

CONTROL THE SPREAD

Different applications require different coverage. The Heavy Duty Material Spreader provides a spread pattern ranging from approximately 30 inches to 30 feet, giving operators the flexibility to work across both confined and open areas.

Manually adjustable gates provide a wide range of settings for controlling the amount of material entering the spreader. This makes it easier to adapt output to the material being applied and the coverage required.

For applications that require additional control, an optional Sidewalk Deflector Kit (PN 101155) is available to help limit broadcast into surrounding areas.

ONE SPREADER. MULTIPLE SEASONS.

SNOW & ICE MANAGEMENT

Spread salt and sand across parking lots, roads, driveways, sidewalks, and commercial properties.

TURF & LANDSCAPE

Distribute seed, fertilizer, and lime across lawns, landscaped areas, sports fields, and larger properties.

AGRICULTURE & PROPERTY MAINTENANCE

Use the attachment for compatible granular materials around farms, feedlots, acreage, and other property-maintenance applications.

The multipurpose design helps keep the attachment productive beyond a single season, providing one spreading solution for winter maintenance, turf care, agriculture, and general property maintenance.

BUILT FOR DEMANDING MATERIAL HANDLING

The Heavy Duty Material Spreader is constructed from steel for demanding commercial use. A hardened cutting edge supports repeated self-loading, while the bolted protective grate helps keep unwanted debris out of the spreading mechanism.

Inside the hopper, a hydraulic-driven steel agitator keeps material moving. At the bottom of the system, a reinforced steel spreading disc and replaceable bolt-on paddles distribute material while keeping common wear components serviceable.

Reinforced hydraulic lines, standard couplers, integrated side steps, and a weather-resistant powder-coated finish add practical durability and convenience for everyday operation.

SELF-LOADING SKID STEER SALT, SAND & FERTILIZER SPREADER

The Blue Diamond® Heavy Duty Material Spreader is a self-loading hydraulic skid steer spreader designed to handle salt, sand, seed, fertilizer, lime, and other compatible granular materials. Unlike conventional spreaders that require another machine or manual loading, the hopper features a hardened cutting edge that allows the skid steer operator to scoop material directly from a stockpile.

Available in 8- and 18-cu.-ft. models, the attachment requires 10–20 GPM hydraulic flow and is recommended for skid steers and compact track loaders with 50 HP or more. Its adjustable spreading system provides coverage from approximately 30 inches to 30 feet, allowing one attachment to work across sidewalks and narrow areas as well as driveways, roads, parking lots, lawns, agricultural properties, and large commercial sites.

A hydraulic-driven steel agitator continually moves material inside the hopper to help prevent bridging and maintain consistent flow. Adjustable manual gates control the amount of material delivered to the reinforced steel spreading disc, while replaceable bolt-on paddles provide easy-to-service wear components.

With its combination of self-loading capability, adjustable spreading, rugged steel construction, universal skid steer mounting, and year-round versatility, the Heavy Duty Material Spreader provides an efficient solution for contractors, municipalities, landscapers, property managers, agricultural operations, and snow and ice professionals.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What materials can the Blue Diamond Heavy Duty Material Spreader spread?

The attachment is designed for compatible granular materials including salt, sand, seed, fertilizer, and lime, making it suitable for snow and ice management, turf care, landscaping, agriculture, and general property maintenance.

Can the material spreader load itself?

Yes. The attachment features a hardened cutting edge and bucket-style hopper that allows the operator to scoop material directly from a stockpile without leaving the skid steer cab.

What hydraulic flow is required?

The Heavy Duty Material Spreader is designed to operate with 10–20 GPM hydraulic flow.

What size skid steer is recommended?

A skid steer or compact track loader with 50 HP or more is recommended.

How wide can the spreader broadcast material?

Depending on the setup and material, the spreading system provides an adjustable pattern from approximately 30 inches up to 30 feet.

What capacities are available?

Blue Diamond offers an 8-cu.-ft. model (PN 101110) and an 18-cu.-ft. model (PN 101115).

How does the spreader keep material from bridging?

A hydraulic-driven steel agitator rotates inside the hopper to keep material moving toward the spreading system and help maintain consistent feeding.

Can material flow be adjusted?

Yes. Adjustable manual gates allow the operator to regulate material flow for lighter or heavier spreading applications.

Is a sidewalk deflector available?

Yes. The optional Sidewalk Deflector Kit, PN 101155, helps control the spread pattern for narrower applications.
