6 Tonne

Tough and versatile.
With the same practical design and easy to use operation that all SAM’s are known for, the SAM Combo Spreaders provide extra versatility around what you are able to spread.
They are capable of spreading chemical fertiliser including; superphosphate, urea and lime. But will also spread most organic product like chicken and pig manure, screw-pressed effluent and sand.
Sizes come in 3.8, 6 & 9 tonne. All come standard with an 800mm floor belt. Single or tandem axle.
Keep it simple with a standard hydraulic clutch to ground drive set up or upgrade to the latest smart, accurate e-Spreader. This has integrated load cells and an automatic back door.
Smart features
-
Stainless back end
The bulk of the back end is constructed from stainless steel. This cuts out rust and means the life of your running gear is extended. The flat discs, vanes and spinner tubes are all stainless. They connect to a pair of extremely reliable hydraulic motors. The roller bearings are easily adjustable for you and keep discs firm.
-
Industry leading coating protection system
Every SAM has an advanced new paint procedure for the long-term. This application has been chosen for its hard-wearing toughness. Firstly a blast then a thermal-arc spray followed by the SAM coating difference. This industry leading coating protection system is mega tough stuff!
-
Tough rust resistant hopper
These plastic bins have shown themselves to be very strong and reliable. They are made from UV-protected polyethylene. Fertiliser can be extremely corrosive and the SAM bin prevents that by being rust-free and easy clean. Fertiliser slips down the sides easily and washes off well.
-
Consistent spread control
Setting the rate you wish to spread is simply by rear door adjustment. The double spinner design gives a nice, accurate, even spread pattern for a wide range of product.
-
Smart, accurate weighing
When purchasing your Spreader you can add electronic weigh scales. This mean you can weigh the fertiliser in your bin at any point. They can also be zeroed out. Further information is below. Note: Weigh scales cannot be fitted retrospectively to Spreaders.
-
Topcon control system
You can also add a Topcon control system to replace the standard ground drive. This gives hydraulic floor speed rate and control. This technology means the correct application rate is applied regardless of changes in forward speed or changes in product density. Gives peace of mind for accuracy and reporting.
-
Mudguards for added protection
Standard on all tandem axle machines (except 9 tonne) SAM mudguards are made from UV-protected, high strength polyethylene. They reduce your cleaning and hold up well to abrasive chemical fertilisers.
-
Heavy-duty rubber belt
The 800mm wide rubber floor is two-ply rubber, riveted into corrosion protected steel bars, then welded onto a high-strength chain. Stainless steel skirts run along both sides to prevent striping.
-
Coupling with swivel
A fixed coupling is standard across 4 and 5 tonne Spreaders. These can be upgraded to a swivel coupling if need be. Great if you have large loads and varied terrain. 6 tonne and above have the heavy swivel coupling as standard. When you are using an Auto Hitch you'll require a donut eye on the coupling.
-
Filtering mesh (Optional Extra)
This protective mesh protects the belt and running gear from large objects causing damage.

Roll top cover
These simple to use roll out covers have a heavy-duty canvas on a sturdy framework with a simple bungy system. The cover is rolled up by the handle and tucked out of the way when you are not using it. The roll-top is located at the rear of the machine so that your Spreader is able to be loaded from both sides.
Optional extras
- e-Spreader with load cells
- Larger tyres
- Lights for on-road use
- Internal mesh
- Stainless steel hydraulic hose fittings

e-Spreader with load cells
Smart e-Spreader
Any SAM Spreader can be upgraded to an e-Spreader at the time of build. The floor speed is controlled from a screen in your tractor cab. This replaces the manual drive. You can set your rate easily from in your cab and get your spread rate very accurate.
The SAM e-Spreader is super easy to calibrate and every e-Spreader has load cells. Fitting load cells is the only way to get true accuracy because you are weighing your product. This technology means the correct application rate is applied regardless of changes in forward speed.
It also integrates easily with third party GPS systems such as TracMap. You can see how many hectares you have covered from the screen and the weight you have applied. This live data means proof of placement is easy. If you are already using a third party tracking system you don’t have to reinvent the wheel!
80 - 90 l/min of oil flow from your tractor is preferred.

Larger tyres
Our tyres have been chosen for their toughness and durability. We only go for very high quality options for you.
Four and five tonne SAM Spreaders come standard with 11.5x15.3 tyres. Or you can upgrade to bigger 400x15.5 tyres. Bigger tyres can be suitable for softer, wet terrain.
Six tonne Spreaders have these 400x15.5 tyres included as standard or can be upgraded to 500/50x17 tyres.
For every single-axle model 550 / 60x22.5 tyres are an upgrade option.
Tyre specifications can be adapted for your particular situation. We are happy to talk through custom options.

Lights for on-road use
You will need LED lights and flags if you are travelling on the road. The flexible plastic mounting boards are tough and hardy if knocked.
The LED lights plug straight into your power source. They are fully waterproof.

Internal mesh
This mesh fits inside your bin. It helps to prevent lumpy urea upsetting your spread rate and it also stops large objects dropping down and damaging the belt and gear.
Stainless steel hydraulic hose fittings
Higher grade hydraulic hose fittings for rust protection.
