The VALE MS1500 Tractor Mounted Salt Spreader is the largest capacity tractor-mounted gritter manufactured by VALE Engineering with a 1.5m³ hopper capacity to take approximately 1900kg of salt. It is capable of spreading wet or dry, brown or white salt, via its unique POZI-FEED stainless steel auger system.
This large capacity tractor-mounted salt spreader is fitted with category 2 three-point linkage points and can be used with suitable 130+ hp tractors. The spreading circuit is powered from the tractor’s auxiliary hydraulic circuit (spool valves).
VALE Engineering’s range of tractor-mounted gritters should not to confused with converted fertiliser spreaders which generally struggle to spread rock salt. VALE Engineering’s MS range of tractor-mounted gritters spread at an accurate rate and are much less likely to bridge. These salt spreaders fit to the tractor using the standard three-point linkage, which is fitted to the vast majority of tractors.
