Ideal for: Mixed livestock farms and cash crop producers looking for a precise nutrient application. The vertical beater design is ideal for breaking up heavy bedding pack or semi-solid manure, providing a consistent spread pattern up to 30–40 feet wide that is easy to incorporate or no-till into.

The Meyer Advantage: Meyer’s VB series is recognized for its “Twin Twister” vertical beaters which deliver a much more uniform spread than traditional horizontal units. A standout feature of this spreader is the full poly-lined box; the high-density poly floor and side sheets significantly reduce friction and prevent the “freeze-down” issues common with steel-box spreaders in Ontario winters. By using a pintle apron chain and heavy-duty gearboxes, Meyer ensures the VB440 is built for high-duty cycles and long-term reliability.
