Simple and versatile.

With the same practical design and easy to use operation that all SAM’s are known for, SAM Orchard Spreaders are made to meet the needs of modern orchards. They have a lower profile and narrower width, and provide great versatility around what you are able to spread.

Designed primarily for spreading organic matter such as compost, green matter and mulch. This machine will also spread processed fertiliser like superphosphate, lime and urea with absolutely no change-over time!

SAM Computer control

This Orchard Spreader includes a computer controlled hydraulic floor. The SAM controller allows you to choose between spreading or banding at the touch of a button. Rates are input and you are away.

Banding compost, green matter and mulch using the side conveyor

The floor mat moves toward the front of the machine, moving material onto the side banding conveyor. This creates a precise banding or piling pattern in full view of the operator.

Spreading organic material and processed fertilisers using spinners

For a spread pattern behind the machine, the floor mat moves backwards toward the spinners. For different planting centres, spread widths can be changed by setting the speed of the spinners and from the controller.

Minimum of 40 l/min required from your tractor.

Tyre variations

We have tough high performing tyres to suit any application. They are chosen for their quality and durability. 

We can change tyre sizes to suit your specific needs. 10/75 X 15.3 Tractor tread tyres are standard. Or you can go for a different tread.

Larger 400/60 X 15.5 12-ply tyres are also available. These larger tyres can be good if you have softer, wetter conditions. However they do add to the width and height of the machine (makes machine 2m wide and 60mm higher than standard).
