Anyone interested in a 4-ton salt spreader thats been attached to a trailer?
It's got a chain and gear drive not belt. Wisconsin Gas Motor and a 20 foot electric cable so that the control box will reach inside the truck. I used to tow it around with our one-ton pick up without any problems. I dont have my camera today so I'll have to take pictures on Monday and post them or i can email directly to you.
it's in great condition, but that's mainly due to it being a back up salter. Home made, custom built trailer to hold the salter. it's perfect for guys just starting off commercially, because you tow it to the lot, plow then hook up and salt, you dont have to worry about the tail gate salters blocking your view while backing up. i was thinking i wanted to get around $6,000.00 for it, what do you think?
The thing was never used, it was my back up machine. It sat inside my back barn 24/7. Heavy duty trailer, custom built special for this salter. Control box stretches all the way to the cab of your pick-up.
I have never seen one pulled either but if you had a few big lots and did n't have a big truck to a sander in or wanter to not have to get another truck that would be great not good for small stuff
I think that having a trailer mounted Salter is a great idea.
I have seen a few of them around here and they seem to work ok.
How are the brakes on the trailer and what kind of brakes are they (air, electric, fred flinstone feet?????) Also you say its a 4 ton unit? what does that equate to in cubic yards???
idk about you guys, but i would never put a salter in the back of one of my pick-ups, that'll ruin your pick-up faster than anything else. that's why i built the trailer. tow the salter, park it, plow, hook back up and salt.
