Principals of Operation
The Nitro 450 Manure Spreader is designed to be hitched behind a tractor with a
minimum of 125 HP. The Manure Spreader consists of a poly walled trailer with an apron
chain drag system, that pulls material to the rear of the trailer, through a set of vertical,
spinning beaters and is then spread in an even pattern on the field. The rear beaters are
connected to the tractor’s PTO via gearboxes and the PTO drivelines. The variable
speed apron chain is operated from the tractor cab, and controls the feed speed of
material through the beaters.
The apron chain and rear lift gate are operated using the tractor’s hydraulic power
outputs. The rear lift gate prevents material from jamming the beaters while loading,
as well as preventing material from falling onto a roadway during transport.
We recommend that you carefully read this entire manual before operating the Manure
Spreader. Please do not assume you know how to operate and maintain your machine
before reading this manual carefully. Keep this manual available for reference. Call your
authorized dealer if you need any assistance or more information.

Take note! This safety alert symbol is found throughout this manual to call your

equipment. You, the operator, can avoid
many accidents by observing the following
precautions in this section. To avoid
personal injury or death, study the following
precautions and insist those working with
you, or for you, follow them.

and manufacture of our products.
Unfortunately, our efforts to provide safe
equipment can be wiped out by a single
careless act of an operator or bystander.
