FLOW CONTROL
Hagedorn manure spreaders feature an innovative Hydra-Spread flow control valve designed for precise unloading and application. Engineered and manufactured exclusively for Hagedorn spreaders, this valve is ideal for all types of hydraulic systems and includes an internal bypass for quick return regardless of unloading speed. The Hydra-Spread flow control valve also provides a reliable processing rate that stays consistent from load to load, resulting in distribution amounts and quality you can trust.
All vertical Hagedorn spreaders come equipped with a standard sequencing valve which is integrated into the flow control valve and prevents the pushgate from engaging before the endgate is raised, thereby preventing accidental damage due to a collision.
Manufactured in North America, the sequencing valve is available as an option on horizontal beater models and is compatible with all modern hydraulic systems
CYLINDERS
Similar to our flow controls, the push-off cylinders in our spreaders are designed by our engineers and manufactured in North America.
Setting an industry precedent in 1990, our hollow-rod design allows oil flow for extend and retract cycles to be channeled through the rod, eliminating the tangle of hoses that would otherwise occur when the cylinder strokes. The cylinders employ a rugged, ball-type sealing system that easily handles the flexing that comes with stroke lengths of up to 17 feet. Our pistons and glands are made from high-grade ductile iron for maximum wear and durability.
