Description
While the big hopper spreaders get all the glory, the FISHER® SPEED-CASTER™ 525 & SPEED-CASTER™ 900 tailgate spreaders ensure a great finish. Featuring 2-stage, auger-fed delivery systems that can handle salt, sand or a sand/salt mix, and mounting systems for pickups, SUVs and tractors, these tailgate spreaders deliver exceptional performance in any conditions.
SPEED-CASTER™ 525 Tailgate Spreader
The SPEED-CASTER™ 525 tailgate spreader has a 5.25 cu ft hopper that holds up to 420 lb of bagged or bulk sand, salt or a 50/50 mix. The spreader is capable of spread patterns up to 30′ wide.
SPEED-CASTER™ 900 Tailgate Spreader
The 9 cu ft SPEED-CASTER™ 900 tailgate spreader holds up to 720 lb of bagged or bulk de-icing material, including salt, sand or a 50/50 mix. The spreader offers spread patterns up to 40′ wide.
Dual Electric Motors
Two instant-start, 12-volt electric motors provide quiet, reliable, independent control over the auger and spinner mechanisms. The spinner motor is sealed inside a weather-resistant housing, protecting it from corrosion.
Variable-Speed Control
Enhanced, dual variable-speed control allows you to precisely match delivery and spread patterns to conditions. Three standard accessory buttons and a dedicated blast button provide optimum in-cab efficiency. Easy-to-understand, digital self-diagnostics alert you when the spreader is empty or when adjustments are needed, and LEDs make the control easy to read. Its compact size compared to traditional controls fits easily into today’s modern truck cab designs.
Auger
Each SPEED-CASTER™ tailgate spreader is built with a heavy-duty, powder coated, horizontal steel auger for strength and performance.
Spinner Assembly
The SPEED-CASTER 525 features a 10″ spinner made of nylon/glass reinforced resin for a long, low-maintenance life, and the SPEED-CASTER 900 features a 12″ steel spinner.
Steel-Rod Top Screen
The steel-rod top screen breaks up chunks while loading for improved performance.
Vibrating Inverted V
TA standard 12-volt vibrator is directly connected to the inverted V, providing maximum agitation to help break up large clumps and ensure the smooth flow of material.
