20-60 HP (15-45 KW)
540 rpm - Cat. 1 & 2

The BEFCO Turbo-Hop 303 Pendular Spreader is designed for tractors with 20-60 HP. Its sturdy tubular frame and heavy-duty cast steel gearbox ensure durability. The spreader features a corrosion-proof polyethylene hopper, making it ideal for distributing fertilizer, seed, salt, and sand with precision. Hoppers are available in 1,318, 1,939 and 2,310 ft/lbs capacities. Whether you need a full spread or left/right discharge pattern, the Turbo-Hop 303 pendulum spreader delivers accurate application. Its stainless steel opening control disc and cast iron anti-wear agitator enhance performance. The large hopper capacities along with the low loading height make this the ideal unit for spreading large volumes of material.

WARNING: When using a quick hitch on a PTO driven implement, always ensure there is proper overlap prior to use. If there is not the minimum 6″ overlap, do not use. Contact your dealer to purchase a longer driveline.

Adjustable spread pattern

The end spout on Turbo-Hop pendulum spreaders may be turned left, right or center depending on the direction you need to spread the material. Turn the spout upside down to reduce spread swath by half.

Gearbox by BEFCO

Unlike other pendulum spreaders that have all the moving elements out in the open, Turbo-Hop pendulum spreaders feature a fully enclosed gearbox, with gears in oil bath. This ensures durability and prevents costly and damaging rust build up on moving parts.

Stainless steel distribution unit

At the bottom of the hopper is a stainless steel distribution unit and a stamped steel agitator to keep material flowing through to the end spout.

Graded scale

The graded adjustment scale makes selecting the desired opening position a quick and easy task.

Polyethylene hopper

While other pendulum spreaders utilize fiberglass hoppers that are easily damaged on impact and weather poorly in the elements, Turbo-Hop pendulum spreaders use corrosion proof, impact resistant polyethylene hoppers that still look new after years of exposure to the elements.
