Delivering Greater Capacity and Flexibility in a Commercial Pull-Type Spreader COVER MORE ACRES IN LESS TIME Designed to meet the needs of large-scale farm businesses, the Salford Valmar Airflo 8700 is a high-capacity, pull-type spreader that delivers the highest rates of application currently available in a commercial spreader. Thanks to its advanced design, the Airflo 8700 delivers rates as high as 1,000 pounds per acre at 8 miles per hour, allowing you to finish large jobs faster than ever. ACCURATE METERING SYSTEM The Airflo 8700 precise rate is a result of the single motor drive hydraulic metering kit that automatically adjusts on the go to ensure a uniform application rate regardless of speed. The hydraulically engaged metering system is based on a 30-setting, oil bath gearbox combined with a two-speed gear ratio to allow 60 settings that can be adjusted in increments of seven percent. This enables operators to select from more settings at closer increments, a feature that translates into more control over application rate for substantial savings in fertilizer costs. The 8700 is quipped with a hydraulic drive metering system for those using variable rate technology. SPREAD MORE PRODUCT BETWEEN FILLS The 8700’s extra-large, 230-cubic-foot hopper can carry up to seven tons of product (8708) or 357-cubic foot hopper carrying 11 tons of product (8711). The hopper itself is constructed of corrosion-resistant, painted 409 stainless steel and comes with a roll tarp installed.
