DISCRIPTION

The HERD Model 2440 Broadcast Seeder & Spreader is the ideal choice for professionals looking to cover extensive acreage with minimal stops. With its 32-bushel (2440 lb) hopper capacity, this seeder/spreader is designed for heavy-duty applications, consistently spreading seed, fertilizer, or lime. Its hydraulic control system allows for seamless operation from the tractor seat, ensuring convenience and control.

Constructed from durable 14-gauge steel with powder-coated paint and welded seams, the 2440 model is built to last.
