A quality broadcast spreader is an essential tool for land managers across a wide range of industries, including agriculture, landscaping, erosion control, and wildlife food plotters. The Sides Spreader is a rugged, high-performance broadcast spreader designed to mount easily to a 3-point hitch tractor. For optimal performance, Sides recommends using a tractor with a minimum of 45 horsepower.
Built for versatility, the Sides Spreader can handle a variety of materials, including wet agricultural lime, compost, seed, fertilizer, and more.
With an impressive spreading width of 40 to 50 feet, depending on the material being applied, the Sides Spreader helps you cover more ground in less time while maintaining consistent distribution.
The Auger inside the spreader continuously mixes the material during operation, helping prevent bridging and ensuring a smooth, even flow for more accurate application from start to finish.
The hopper is one of the most important parts of a spreader, as it’s what allows you to load up and mix your materials so you can perform a smooth, even spread across all your land.
When you invest in the Sides Spreader, you’ll be able to choose your hopper from two different options. Although all hoppers do a similar job, some have a more specialized design that predisposes them to certain uses. Each of our hopper models reflects that with different sizes and holding capacities. Still, any one of these powerful spreader hoppers can handle fertilizer, agricultural lime, seeds, compost and any other materials you want to throw its way.

The most common choice of hopper is the standard hopper. It’s ideal for most tractor owners and features an extra-wide opening at the top of the body. Those extra inches make it possible for you to use a tractor bucket or skid steer to load up to 1.5 tons of seed, agricultural lime and fertilizer into the spreader.
